Defining the time period for considering the company calendar in the forecast

Here, the future time period is determined, for which the PPS calculates the operating times established in the configuration of the company calendar. This way they are quickly available for the forecast calculation.

Select the time period so that it corresponds to the scheduling window used in your company.
The longer this time period is selected the more computational-intensive becomes the forecast calculation.

: For orders that lie further in the future than the time period configured here, the company calendar and the shift times are not considered in the forecast.
