• Key Concepts: 
  Processing time is a term used in SAP's SCM-Warehousing and Manufacturing Execution (SRD-SCM-WME) component. It is the amount of time it takes to complete a task or process, such as the time it takes to pick, pack, and ship an order. It is also used to measure the efficiency of a process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Processing time can be used to measure the efficiency of a process and identify areas for improvement. It can also be used to set goals for improving the speed of a process. For example, if an order takes too long to pick, pack, and ship, processing time can be used to set a goal for reducing the amount of time it takes to complete the task. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When measuring processing time, it is important to take into account any delays that may occur during the process. This includes delays due to equipment malfunctions or other factors that may slow down the process. Additionally, it is important to track processing time over time in order to identify any trends or changes in efficiency. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Processing time is closely related to cycle time, which is the total amount of time it takes from start to finish for a task or process. Additionally, processing time can be used in conjunction with other metrics such as throughput and quality control measures in order to measure overall performance.
