• Key Concepts: 
  A pallet base is a unit of measure used in SAP's Forecasting and Replenishment (SCM-FRE) component. It is used to define the size of a shipment, and is typically based on the size of a standard pallet. The pallet base is used to calculate the number of items that can fit on a pallet, and is used to determine the optimal size of a shipment.
  
  How to use it: 
  The pallet base can be used to determine the optimal size of a shipment. To do this, the user must first determine the size of the pallet they are using. Once this is done, they can then calculate the number of items that can fit on the pallet by multiplying the pallet base by the number of items. This will give them an estimate of how many items can fit on a single pallet. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the number of items that can fit on a pallet, it is important to take into account any additional space that may be needed for packaging or other materials. Additionally, it is important to consider any additional weight that may be added due to packaging or other materials.
