Real Time Inventory Visibility in Warehouse Management in S/4 HANA

Featured Image

In SAP S/4HANA, Warehouse Management (WM) provides real-time inventory visibility by enabling companies to track the location of their inventory in real-time. 


Some of the key features of Real Time Inventory Visibility in SAP S/4 HANA

  • Real-time inventory tracking: Real-time tracking of inventory movements within the warehouse. This includes tracking the movement of goods from receiving to put away, picking, packing, and shipping.

  • Warehouse Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of warehouse activities through various monitoring tools, such as dashboard and reports. This allows warehouse managers to quickly identify any potential issues or bottlenecks and take corrective actions.

  • Mobile Data Entry (MDE): This is a feature that allows warehouse staff to update inventory information in real-time using handheld devices. This ensures that inventory levels are always up to date.

  • Automated Warehouse Processes: SAP S/4HANA WM supports automated warehouse processes such as automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). This automation reduces the chances of errors and delays and ensures that inventory is always in the correct location.

  • Integration with Inventory Management: This can integrate with Inventory Management (IM), which provides real-time inventory visibility across multiple locations.


What benefits does Real Time Inventory Visibility in SAP S/4 HANA provide to your organisation?

  • Improved inventory accuracy: This can help companies keep track of their inventory levels and movements more accurately, reducing the chances of stockouts, overstocking, or inaccurate inventory records.

  • Faster order fulfilment: This allows companies to quickly identify the location of their inventory, which can help them fulfil orders more quickly and accurately.

  • Reduced inventory carrying costs: This can help companies optimise their inventory levels by ensuring that they always have the right amount of inventory on hand. This can help reduce inventory carrying costs and improve cash flow.

  • Improved warehouse efficiency: This can help companies optimise their warehouse operations by identifying and addressing bottlenecks or inefficiencies in real-time. This can lead to faster order fulfilment, reduced errors, and improved overall warehouse performance.

  • Enhanced customer satisfaction: This enables companies to provide more accurate and reliable information to customers about the availability and status of their orders. This can help improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.
