• Key Concepts: 
  Stock exception is a term used in SAP's Forecasting and Replenishment (SCM-FRE) component. It is a type of alert that is triggered when the stock level of an item falls below the minimum stock level set for it. This alert is used to notify the user that the item needs to be replenished. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use stock exceptions, the user must first set a minimum stock level for each item in the system. This can be done by navigating to the Stock/Requirements List view in the SCM-FRE component and selecting the item. The user can then enter the desired minimum stock level in the Minimum Stock field. Once this is done, any time the stock level of an item falls below this minimum, a stock exception will be triggered. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to set realistic minimum stock levels for each item in order to ensure that stock exceptions are triggered at appropriate times. Setting too low of a minimum stock level may result in too many alerts being generated, while setting too high of a minimum may result in items running out of stock before an alert is triggered.
