• Key Concepts: 
  Stock segmentation is a feature of the SAP Logistics (LO) component that allows users to divide their stock into different segments. This allows for more efficient management of stock, as users can easily identify which items are in which segment. Segments can be based on any criteria, such as location, product type, or supplier. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use stock segmentation, users must first create segments in the LO-SGT Segmentation component. This can be done by entering the criteria for each segment and assigning items to them. Once the segments have been created, users can then view and manage their stock based on the segments they have created. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating segments, it is important to consider how they will be used. For example, if a user wants to track stock by location, they should create segments based on the different locations they have. This will make it easier to manage and view the stock in each location. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Stock segmentation is closely related to other features of the LO component, such as inventory management and warehouse management. By using these features together with stock segmentation, users can gain a better understanding of their stock and how it is being managed.
