SAP Production Planning Table

equirement, a firmed receipt exists, which can be used to cover this requirement. Then
the system displays a rescheduling date as well as the exception message Bring process
forward for this receipt. The net requirements calculation then uses this receipt and the
system will only create another procurement proposal if the receipt quantity is not
sufficient to cover the complete requirement. Several firmed receipts can be used to cover
one requirement.
The rescheduling horizon is always calculated from the MRP date.
Postpone process (reschedule out), or cancel process
The net requirements calculation checks over the complete time axis whether availability
could still be guaranteed without the receipt in question. If this is the case, the system
checks whether the receipt planned here could be used to cover a future requirement. If
the system can find such a requirement, it then displays a rescheduling date as well as the
exception message Postpone process for this receipt.
If the system finds no future requirement, for which the receipt is required, the system
displays the exception message Cancel process.

Schedule Margin Key in Production Scheduling
I want to know impact of schedule margine key in production scheduling in
following changes in mateial master
1) if I have schedule key where all floats are zero but I enter in-house prodution time
as e.g. 7 days .
2) if I have key where floats before prodution is 5 days and same values in next
floats and in house production time as 1 day.
All above with MTO what is impact of above cases in scheduling.
While "Basic Scheduling" in MRP... Scheduling margin key is not considered. It takes the
"In house production" days for fixing up the start date. This is only exact to "days".
Lead Time scheduling is carried out on request from the scope of MRP. Target dates are
calculated from routing and Capacity requirement calculations are also done. The
calculations are exact to the seconds (time).
SCHEDULING MARGIN KEY takes effect only for Lead Time Scheduling. For this you
have to configure for "scheduling horizon" to limit the period for which lead time
scheduling and capacity planning should be carried out. scheduling horizon is the period
in working days. If a planned order has its basic start date within this period in future,
lead time scheduling is carried out using the selected routing. The production times are
calculated from the float times of the scheduling margin key in the material master record
and the time from the individual operations. If the planned order has its basic start date
