Define Work Areas (SAP Library

Define Work Areas

In this step, you define the lead time and grace period for the work areas defined by SAP.

The lead time describes how much advance notice is given for a deadline in the future.

The grace period is the period after the deadline which has to pass before a reminder is sent to the responsible clerk.

You only maintain the grace period for the work areas WORA, WORV, WORN, WKUO, WJAU, WDSV, WPSV and WTIZ. For all other work areas, you define the lead time.

Example

Lead time

You define a lead time of ten days for work area WOPS. If the warrant expires on 03/20/YY, the responsible clerk is informed on 03/10/YY.

Grace period

You define a grace period of one day for work area WORV. If an order is only valid until 03/31/97, the clerk is informed on 04/01/97.
