• Key Concepts: 
  Pull-in horizon is a term used in Supply Network Planning (SNP) within SAP. It is the time period in which the system will consider the available supply and demand data when creating a production plan. The pull-in horizon is used to determine the earliest possible start date for production orders. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The pull-in horizon can be adjusted in the SNP configuration settings. This setting can be found in the “Planning Horizon” tab of the SNP configuration. The pull-in horizon should be set to a value that is appropriate for the specific business needs. For example, if there is a need to react quickly to changes in demand, then the pull-in horizon should be set to a shorter time period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that the pull-in horizon should not be set too short, as this could lead to an inaccurate production plan. Additionally, it is important to consider the impact of changing the pull-in horizon on other settings, such as the planning horizon and planning period.
