Overview

As of SAP Business Warehouse 7.4 BI Content Add-On 7.57 SP7, SAP HANA-optimized BI Content is available for Materials Management – Inventory Management and can only be used with a SAP Business Warehouse on SAP HANA. This BI Content enables you to gain insights that support the decision-making process in your company. By creating reports and by analyzing and interpreting business data, you can act dynamically and optimize your business processes.

The new data model follows the requirements of the Layer Scaled Architecture optimized for BW on HANA, LSA++.

The inventory management data is extracted from the ERP system to the Business Warehouse and made available there for further evaluation of different stock values, quantities and movements.

Possible analyzing scenarios are monitoring of current stock levels, analyzing inventory age and material range of coverage, and detecting stock obsolescence. You can run your analysis for different types of stocks, such as total or valuated stock, special stocks and consignment stock.

To be able to activate and use SAP HANA-optimized BI Content, you need to run your BW system on a SAP HANA Database and turn on the Switch SAP HANA-optimized Content (BW / HANA) /IMO/BW_CONTENT.
