The analytical app Explore Stock Overages provides a long-term overview of situations where the actual quantity of stock on hand exceeds the predefined target stock. You can monitor and analyze the relevant supply planning data on an aggregated level, and perform a drill-down analysis as needed.

Key Features

    • View your supply planning data (key performance indicators (KPIs) and key figures) in a personalized table or chart

    • Gain an overview of the relevant planning data on an aggregated level

  • You can display the following KPIs on the launchpad:

    • Target stock overage (absolute)

      The target stock overage (absolute) KPI indicates the total excess quantity for all location products and periods.

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

      • Stock on hand

      • Maximum stock (corresponding to the target stock level)

      For each location product, the stock on hand is compared with the target stock (by subtracting the maximum stock key figure from the stock on hand key figure). A value that is greater than 0 indicates an excess quantity. The excess quantities are summed for all periods.

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

    • Target stock overage (maximum)

      The target stock overage (maximum) KPI indicates the maximum of total excess quantity.

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

      • Stock on hand

      • Maximum stock (corresponding to the target stock level)

      For each location product and period, the formula for calculating the target stock overage compares the stock on hand with the target stock (by subtracting the maximum stock key figure from the stock on hand key figure). A value that is greater than 0 indicates an excess quantity. The maximum value is selected out of the received results.

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

  • You can display your own custom KPIs as additional columns of the table view.
