How to create Scheduling Margin Keys in SAP

Menu: SPRO -> Production -> Material Requirements Planning -> Planning -> Scheduling and Capacity Parameters -> Define Floats (Scheduling Margin Key)

Create a new entry and define the parameters. Here is the definition:

Opening period - Number of workdays subtracted from the order start date to determine the creation date. The opening period can be used by the MRP controller as an extra time buffer. The opening period is only used in backward scheduling.

Float before - The number of working days between the order start date and the scheduled start date; used as a float in production scheduling.

Float After - The number of working days used as a float for scheduling between the order due date and the scheduled finish date. The safety margin after production is used for compensating malfunctions within the order production.

Release Period - Number of working days in the release period of this order.
