  Projected Stock is a term used in SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) Inventory and Production Planning (IBP) and Replenishment Management (RM) components. It is a forecast of the expected stock level of a particular item at a certain point in time. This forecast is based on historical data, current inventory levels, and future demand. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Projected Stock can be used to plan for future inventory needs. It can be used to determine when to order more stock, how much stock to order, and when to adjust production schedules. It can also be used to identify potential supply chain issues before they become a problem. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Projected Stock, it is important to consider the accuracy of the data being used. Historical data should be up-to-date and accurate, and future demand should be based on reliable sources. Additionally, it is important to consider any external factors that may affect the accuracy of the forecast, such as changes in customer demand or supplier availability.
