  Key Concepts: 
  Restriction type is a feature in the Forecasting and Replenishment (FRE) component of SAP SCM. It is used to define the rules and restrictions that are applied to the replenishment process. This includes setting up parameters such as minimum and maximum order quantities, order frequency, and delivery times. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use restriction type, first create a restriction type in the system. This can be done by going to the “Restriction Type” tab in the FRE component of SAP SCM. Once created, you can assign the restriction type to a specific item or group of items. This will ensure that all orders for these items will be subject to the rules and restrictions set up in the restriction type. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a restriction type, it is important to consider all possible scenarios that could affect the replenishment process. This includes taking into account seasonal fluctuations, customer demand, and other factors that could affect the order quantity or delivery time.
