The influence of the dipolar as well as crystal field interaction as the main reasons of the noncollinearity and incommensurability of the 3d-3d-3p alloy belonging to ThMn₁₂ family is investigated. Available data on the single crystal neutron scattering experiments for ScFe₄Al₈ compound are discussed. The values and directions of the spin ordering found by magnetic diffraction are compared to that one derived from ground state configurations obtained by a simulated annealing algorithm.
