Using Analytical Apps for Inventory Management

In SAP S/4HANA, different SAP Fiori apps are available for analysis for Inventory Management.

These also include two overview pages, which summarize the most important information and tasks for a user, depending on the role. The information is displayed on a set of actionable cards. This allows you to concentrate on the most important tasks and thus make decisions more quickly and take immediate action.

In addition to the analytical apps included in the overview pages, there are other apps that help you monitor your processes and inventory. Some of them are listed below.

This app gives you an overview of the stock of an individual material depending on plants and storage locations. You can display the stock information as a table or chart. In addition, the stock history of the last 11 periods and the current stock is displayed as a curve diagram. The app uses today’s date as the reporting date. You can change the reporting date. If you leave the Reporting Date field empty, the system displays the stock of material for the current period (end of period).

This app gives you an overview of the stock situation of one or more materials on a reporting date that you have specified. You can also select additional filters, such as plant, storage location, material group, or shelf life expiration date. If you do not enter a reporting date, the system displays the material stock on the current date.

With this app, you can analyze and monitor goods movement postings for one or more materials in a defined date range. The app displays stock quantities and values on the defined analytical start and end date. The detail page provides a comprehensive analysis of all goods movements that happened within the defined date range.
