  Key Concepts: 
  Requested Earliest Start (RES) is a term used in SAP SCM-Warehousing and Manufacturing Execution (SRD-SCM-WME). It is a date that is used to indicate the earliest possible start of a production order. This date is determined by the system based on the availability of resources, materials, and other factors. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Requested Earliest Start (RES) date can be used to plan production orders in SAP SCM-Warehousing and Manufacturing Execution (SRD-SCM-WME). The system will calculate the RES date based on the availability of resources, materials, and other factors. This date can then be used to plan production orders and ensure that they are started on time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep in mind that the Requested Earliest Start (RES) date is only an estimate. The actual start date may be different due to changes in resource availability or other factors. Therefore, it is important to monitor the progress of production orders and adjust the start date accordingly. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The Requested Earliest Start (RES) date is closely related to the Requested Delivery Date (RDD). The RDD is the date by which a production order must be completed in order for it to meet customer requirements. The RES date should be set so that it allows enough time for the production order to be completed by the RDD.
