The analytical app Explore Days of Supply displays data that helps you estimate the average number of workdays for which safety stock covers future demand. The app enables you to monitor the days of supply key performance indicator (KPI) on the launchpad, to analyze data on an aggregated level, and to drill down into issues as needed. The app provides you with a better understanding of the long-term planning situation and helps you optimize your stock levels.
You can use the app to do the following:
View the relevant supply planning data (KPIs and key figures) in a personalized table or chart
Gain an overview of the data on an aggregated level
Drill down into the data to identify the root cause of possible issues
To perform a drill-down analysis of planning data, you can filter it by the following characteristics:
Location
Product
Attributes of location and product (for example, product group, region or planner)

.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.
