  Key Concepts: 
  Order spike horizon is a parameter in the Demand-Driven Replenishment (PP-DD) component of SAP. It is used to determine the maximum number of days that a replenishment order can be delayed before it is considered an order spike. The order spike horizon is used to identify and manage order spikes, which are orders that are significantly larger than the average order size. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The order spike horizon parameter can be set in the PP-DD component of SAP. It is typically set to a value that is slightly higher than the average replenishment order size. This ensures that any orders that are significantly larger than the average will be identified as an order spike and managed accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to set the order spike horizon parameter to a value that is slightly higher than the average replenishment order size. This will ensure that any orders that are significantly larger than the average will be identified as an order spike and managed accordingly.
