 View Stock Deficits

 

The analytical app View Stock Deficits displays key performance indicators (KPIs) that help you identify situations where the actual quantity of stock on hand falls short of the predefined safety stock. The app enables you to respond to critical situations promptly and to optimize stock levels.

Key Features

  • You can use View Stock Deficits to do the following:

    • View the list of top inventory issues and select the most pressing ones

    • Visualize the selected issues in a personalized table or chart containing all the relevant inventory and demand-supply key figures

    • Compare stock levels in different locations on the Detect Network Inventory screen

      You can navigate to the Detect Network Inventory screen using the Compare button in the Alternative Locations table.

  • You can monitor the following KPIs on the launchpad:

    • Safety stock deficit (absolute)

      The safety stock deficit (absolute) KPI indicates the total uncovered safety stock for all location products and periods.

      The KPI is calculated from the following key figures of the individual location products:

      • Stock on hand

      • Supply shortage

      • Minimum stock

      For each location product, the formula for calculating the safety stock deficit (absolute) KPI subtracts the stock on hand key figure and the supply shortage key figure from the minimum stock key figure. A value over 0 indicates a deficit. The deficit values are summed for all periods.

      The value displayed on the launchpad tile is an aggregated value for all location products.

    • Safety stock deficit (maximum)

      The safety stock deficit (maximum) KPI indicates the maximum of total uncovered safety stock.

      The KPI is calculated from the following key figures of the individual location products:

      • Safety stock

      • Stock on hand

      • Supply shortage

      For each location product and period, the formula for calculating the safety stock deficit (maximum) KPI subtracts the stock on hand key figure and the supply shortage key figure from the safety stock key figure. A value over 0 indicates a deficit. The formula selects the maximum value out of the received results.

      To calculate the value displayed on the tile, the deficit quantities of all location products are summed for each period, and the maximum is selected out of the received results.

  • You can also display your own custom KPIs as additional columns of the Stock Deficit table.
