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

Key Features

  • You can use View Stock Overages 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:

    • 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 (maximum) KPI 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 Stock Overage table.
