  • You can monitor the days of supply KPI on the launchpad.

    The days of supply KPI indicates the average days’ supply per location product and period.

    The KPI is calculated from the days’ supply key figure of the individual location products.

    The formula for calculating the days of supply KPI sums the days' supply key figure for all location products and divides the sum by the number of location products, resulting in the average days’ supply per location product. The result is summed for all periods and then divided by the number of periods to receive the average days of supply.

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