  Key Concepts: 
  A level change macro is a tool used in SAP's SCM-APO-FCS Demand Planning component.

The macro can be used to increase or decrease the forecast level, depending on the user's needs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a level change macro, the user must first select the product or product group that they wish to adjust. Then, they must enter the desired adjustment amount and select whether they want to increase or decrease the forecast level. Finally, they must click the “Apply” button to apply the changes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks:
