To set up the requirement date for the component so that it will be in stock 5 days in advance of the assembly activity, you should set up the requirement date aligned with the activity start date and a negative offset of 5 days. The requirement date is the date on which a material component is required for an activity. The offset is a value that shifts the requirement date forward or backward from the activity start or finish date. A negative offset means that the requirement date is earlier than the activity date. Reference:

 “You can create external activities in a network to represent tasks that are performed by external service providers or vendors.” According to SAP Press4, “You can create service activities in a network to represent tasks that are performed by internal service providers.”References: 4

This is how earliest dates and latest dates of activities are scheduled in the SAP Project System. Earliest dates are scheduled by forward scheduling, and latest dates by backward scheduling. Forward scheduling is a method of scheduling activities from the start date of the project to the end date. Backward scheduling is a method of scheduling activities from the end date of the project to the start date. The earliest dates are determined by forward scheduling and the latest dates are determined by backward scheduling. This ensures that the activities are scheduled within the project duration and that any slack time is distributed evenly

“You can use an offset to specify a time interval between two activities. For example, you can specify that an activity should start two days after its predecessor activity has finished.” According to SAP Help Portal2, “You can use constraints to specify fixed dates for activities. For example, you can use the constraint ‘Must start on’ to fix the start date of an activity.”References: 12
