  Key Concepts: 
  Replenishment blocking is a feature of the SAP SCM-FRE Forecasting and Replenishment component. It is used to prevent the replenishment of certain materials or products in order to avoid overstocking or understocking. This feature allows users to set up rules that will block the replenishment of certain materials or products based on certain criteria. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Replenishment blocking can be set up in the SAP SCM-FRE Forecasting and Replenishment component. To do this, users must first define the criteria for blocking replenishment. This can include factors such as stock levels, demand forecasts, and supplier lead times. Once the criteria have been defined, users can then set up rules that will block the replenishment of certain materials or products based on these criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up replenishment blocking rules, it is important to consider all potential scenarios that could affect the replenishment process. For example, if a supplier’s lead time is longer than expected, it may be necessary to adjust the replenishment blocking rules accordingly. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the replenishment blocking rules in order to ensure that they are still relevant and effective.
