• Key Concepts: 
  Zone Adjustment Factor (ZAF) is a feature of the Demand-Driven Replenishment (PP-DD) component of SAP. It is used to adjust the replenishment quantity of a material based on the location of the material in the warehouse. The ZAF takes into account the distance from the replenishment point to the storage location, as well as other factors such as temperature and humidity. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The ZAF can be set up in the PP-DD configuration. The user can define a range of values for each factor, such as distance, temperature, and humidity. The ZAF will then adjust the replenishment quantity based on these values. For example, if the distance from the replenishment point to the storage location is greater than a certain value, then the ZAF will increase the replenishment quantity accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the ZAF is set up correctly in order to get accurate replenishment quantities. It is also important to monitor and adjust the ZAF regularly, as conditions in the warehouse may change over time.
