  Key Concepts: 
  The date of deviation is a term used in SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) modules. It is the date when the actual demand or supply deviates from the planned demand or supply. This deviation can be caused by a variety of factors, such as changes in customer demand, changes in production capacity, or changes in the availability of raw materials. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The date of deviation is used to identify when a deviation from the planned demand or supply occurred. This information can then be used to analyze the cause of the deviation and take corrective action.
