Define Reduction Strategies (SAP Library

Define Reduction Strategies

In this step you define the reduction strategy and the reduction steps for scheduling.

If the scheduled dates lie outside the basic dates given, the SAP system tries, step-by-step to reduce the lead time of the network/process order.

Reduction strategies

You use reduction strategies to control how the lead time of the operation can be reduced step-by-step. You can enter a reduction strategy in every operation.

Reduction steps

You can define as many as six reduction steps for each reduction strategy. For every reduction step you can specify what is to be reduced and by how much.

Note

The SAP system reduces step-by-step only as far as the reduction level that is stored in the scheduling parameters.

Standard Settings

The reduction steps are defined in the SAP standard package.
