• Key Concepts: 
  Order Proposal is a feature of the Forecasting and Replenishment component of SAP SCM. It is used to generate an automated order proposal based on the current stock levels and forecasted demand. The order proposal can be used to create purchase orders or transfer orders for replenishment of stock. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Order Proposal feature, you must first set up the replenishment parameters in the system. This includes setting up the replenishment strategy, defining the replenishment rules, and setting up the replenishment lead times. Once these parameters are set up, you can generate an order proposal by entering the item code and quantity of items to be replenished. The system will then generate a list of suggested orders based on the current stock levels and forecasted demand. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the replenishment parameters, it is important to consider the lead times for each item. This will ensure that orders are generated in time for when they are needed. Additionally, it is important to review the order proposals generated by the system before creating purchase or transfer orders. This will help ensure that only necessary orders are created and that they are created in an efficient manner.
