• Key Concepts: 
  Calculation interval is a feature of SAP SUS-PFM Product Footprint Management that allows users to set a specific time period for the system to calculate the product footprint. This calculation interval can be set to any length of time, from minutes to months. The calculation interval is used to ensure that the product footprint is up-to-date and accurate.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the calculation interval feature, users must first select the desired time period for the calculation. This can be done by selecting the “Calculation Interval” option in the SUS-PFM Product Footprint Management menu. Once the desired time period has been selected, users can then set the calculation interval by entering a start and end date. The system will then calculate the product footprint within this time period.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that the calculation interval should be set to a reasonable length of time in order to ensure accuracy. If the calculation interval is too short, it may not capture all of the necessary data points, resulting in an inaccurate product footprint. Additionally, it is important to remember that any changes made to the product footprint will not be reflected until after the calculation interval has been completed.
