  Key Concepts: 
  Rolling interval is a feature in SAP Demand Planning (SRD-SCM-DP) that allows users to define a rolling time period for forecasting. This means that the forecast period can be shifted forward or backward in time, allowing for more accurate forecasting. For example, if the forecast period is set to 12 months, the rolling interval will shift the forecast period by one month each time it is updated. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the rolling interval feature in SAP Demand Planning, users must first define the forecast period. This can be done by selecting the “Forecast Period” option from the “Planning” menu. Once the forecast period has been defined, users can then select the “Rolling Interval” option from the “Planning” menu. This will allow users to set the rolling interval for their forecast period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a rolling interval in SAP Demand Planning, it is important to consider how often the forecast will be updated. If the forecast is updated frequently, then a shorter rolling interval should be used. On the other hand, if the forecast is updated less frequently, then a longer rolling interval should be used. This will ensure that the forecast is as accurate as possible.
