• Key Concepts: 
  SNP checking horizon is a feature of SAP Supply Network Planning (SNP) that allows users to define the time period for which SNP checks are performed. This feature helps to ensure that the SNP planning process is efficient and accurate by limiting the amount of data that needs to be checked. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The SNP checking horizon can be set in the SNP configuration settings. The horizon can be set to a specific number of days, weeks, or months. The horizon should be set to a time period that is long enough to cover all of the data that needs to be checked, but not so long that it causes unnecessary delays in the planning process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to regularly review and adjust the SNP checking horizon as needed. If the horizon is set too short, it may cause delays in the planning process due to data not being checked. If the horizon is set too long, it may cause unnecessary delays due to data being checked unnecessarily.
