• Key Concepts: 
  Horizon is a term used in SAP Supply Chain Planning and Control (SRD-SCM-SCP) to refer to the time period for which a plan is made. It is the length of time that a plan covers, and it can be set to any length of time that is appropriate for the planning process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The horizon can be set in the SAP system by going to the “Planning Horizon” tab in the SRD-SCM-SCP module. Here, users can set the start and end dates for the planning period. The horizon can also be adjusted as needed, depending on the specific needs of the planning process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the horizon, it is important to consider the length of time that is necessary for the planning process. If the horizon is too short, then there may not be enough time to accurately plan for future events. On the other hand, if the horizon is too long, then it may be difficult to accurately predict future events.
