Note: In pharma industry (Vaccines product segment), there is a Frozen Horizon instead of a
Fixing Horizon. PP/DS heuristics is not scheduled to run within the frozen horizon. Only the PP/DS
planner can manually create or change the PP/DS orders within the frozen horizon. R/3 is involved
but it is the PP/DS set up that protects PP/DS orders within this horizon.
