• Key Concepts: 
  Minimum fixed duration is a feature in SAP SCM-Master Data that allows users to set a minimum duration for a certain activity. This ensures that the activity will not be completed before the specified duration has elapsed. This feature is useful for activities that require a certain amount of time to complete, such as production processes or delivery times.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the minimum fixed duration feature, users must first set up the activity in SAP SCM-Master Data. Once the activity is set up, users can specify the minimum duration for the activity. This can be done by entering the desired duration in the “Minimum Fixed Duration” field. Once this is done, the activity will not be completed until the specified duration has elapsed.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an activity with a minimum fixed duration, it is important to consider how long it will take to complete the activity. If the duration is too short, it may not be enough time for the activity to be completed properly. On the other hand, if the duration is too long, it may cause delays in other activities that depend on this one being completed.
