Calculated Measurement Service (CMS) 

Use

You use this function to build the warehouse key figures that are used to check the effectiveness of your warehouse. You can use a formula editor to connect multiple tailored measurement services (TMS) in a complex formula, to determine the performance of your employees, for example.

You create the formula in the formula editor, and for one part of the formula you choose a tailored measurement service (TMS), another calculated measurement service (CMS), or a mathematical function. As a result, the TMS returns a key figure in the base unit of measure of your warehouse.

Prerequisites

You have defined one or more TMSs on which the CMS is to be based.

Features

You define a CMS on the SAP Easy Access screen, by choosing Extended Warehouse Management ® Settings ® Measurement Services, or in Customizing for EWM under Monitoring ® Measurement Services. Both options allow you to either use a wizard to define a CMS, or to define one in a view.

If you create a CMS using Customizing, it will be included in a transport request, meaning that you can use in other systems and not just locally. If you create a CMS using the SAP Easy Access screen, you can only use it locally.

You can do the following:

●      Create, copy, change, or delete a CMS

●      Define threshold values, exceptions, and minimum repeat intervals

●      Test the CSM and check the correctness of the formula

Example

Key figure that specifies the number of warehouse orders per processor.

Here, CMS 1 (number of warehouse orders with status Completed) is divided by CMS 2 (number of processors with yesterday’s date).
