• 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. For example, if a customer's demand suddenly increases, the date of deviation can be used to identify when this increase occurred and take steps to meet the new demand. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to monitor the date of deviation on a regular basis in order to identify any potential deviations from the planned demand or supply. This will help ensure that corrective action can be taken quickly and efficiently. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The date of deviation is closely related to other terms such as forecast accuracy and forecast bias. Forecast accuracy is a measure of how closely the actual demand or supply matches the planned demand or supply, while forecast bias is a measure of how much the actual demand or supply deviates from the planned demand or supply.
