SAP Business ByDesign Inventory Management

Continuous inventory visibility across all locations updated by every transaction — receipts, issues, transfers, and adjustments. Enables accurate available-to-promise calculations and prevents overselling.

Manages stock across warehouses, retail stores, consignment locations, and in-transit inventory with inter-site transfer workflows. Supports location-specific reorder rules and consolidated visibility dashboards.

Full forward and backward traceability by lot or serial number through receiving, production, storage, and shipment. Essential for recall management, warranty tracking, and regulatory compliance in food, pharma, and electronics.

Automated reorder point calculations based on lead time, demand variability, and desired service levels. Triggers purchase requisitions or transfer orders when stock falls below configurable safety thresholds.

Supports multiple costing methods with automatic valuation updates on every inventory transaction. Ensures accurate cost-of-goods-sold reporting and aligns with accounting standards required for your jurisdiction.

ABC classification-based cycle counting schedules, variance approval workflows, and full physical inventory count support. Maintains inventory accuracy without disruptive wall-to-wall counts by focusing effort on high-value items.

Demand-driven safety stock optimisation, slow-moving and obsolete stock identification, and inventory turn analysis. Reduces carrying costs while maintaining target fill rates through data-driven stocking decisions.

Native support for barcode scanning (1D/2D) and RFID tag reading for receiving, picking, counting, and shipping. Eliminates manual data entry errors and accelerates warehouse throughput by 20–40%.
