• Key Concepts: 
  Destocking is a process used in SAP SCM-APO-SPP Service Parts Planning to reduce the inventory of a certain item. It is used to reduce the amount of stock held in warehouses and other storage locations. The goal of destocking is to reduce the amount of money spent on inventory and to free up space for other items. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Destocking can be done manually or automatically. To manually destock, the user must select the item they wish to destock and enter the quantity they wish to reduce. The system will then adjust the inventory accordingly. To automatically destock, the user must set up a rule in the system that will trigger when certain conditions are met. This rule will then adjust the inventory accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an automatic destocking rule, it is important to consider the conditions that will trigger it. For example, if a certain item has not been sold in a certain period of time, it may be wise to set up a rule that will automatically destock that item after a certain amount of time has passed. This will help ensure that inventory levels are kept at an optimal level.
