• Key Concepts: 
  Offset is a feature in the SAP SCM-IBP-ALT Alerts component that allows users to set a time period for when an alert should be triggered. This feature is useful for setting up alerts that should be triggered at a specific time or after a certain amount of time has passed. For example, an alert can be set to trigger after one hour has passed since the alert was created. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the offset feature, users must first create an alert in the SAP SCM-IBP-ALT Alerts component. Once the alert is created, users can then set the offset by selecting the “Offset” option from the alert settings menu. From there, users can specify the amount of time they want the alert to be triggered after it is created. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an offset for an alert, it is important to remember that the offset will only be applied once the alert is created. If an alert is edited or deleted after it has been created, the offset will not be applied again.
