• Key Concepts: 
  Shunting allowance is a feature of the SAP Forecasting and Replenishment (SCM-FRE) component. It allows for the adjustment of the forecasted demand for a product based on the actual sales of that product. This adjustment is done by taking into account the difference between the forecasted demand and the actual sales. The shunting allowance can be used to adjust the forecasted demand in order to better reflect the actual sales.
  
  How to use it: 
  The shunting allowance can be used to adjust the forecasted demand for a product. To do this, the user must first enter the forecasted demand for a product into the system. Then, they must enter the actual sales of that product into the system. The system will then calculate the difference between the forecasted demand and the actual sales and use this difference to adjust the forecasted demand accordingly.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the shunting allowance, it is important to ensure that all of the data entered into the system is accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that the adjustment made to the forecasted demand is as accurate as possible. Additionally, it is important to remember that this feature should only be used when necessary, as it can lead to inaccurate forecasts if used too often.
