Hi,

Order creation frame is a variable planning parameter and has to be set in CTM profile.Using this planning parameter one can define a range within a certain demand has to be fulfilled.In other words a time frame can be set within a supply has to be planned to fulfill a certain demand.

Maximum Earliness is maintained for Planned Orders which is the time period (in days) before the demand date, within which SAP APO can create planned orders early.

Thanks for the Info. Is Ordercreationframe is equal to planning period of the CTM Porfile?

Hi,

No, but CTM will only plan for horizon maintained for planning.
