SAP LIS is Misunderstood
Use LIS? Feel like it has all the answers? Want more? Faster? LIS was intended to provide detailed and high-level reports easily for various areas, including KPIs and sales forecasting. Challenge: ask your LIS coordinator to adjust or create a report and see how fast it happens. LIS’s power is misunderstood, but so is its complexity.
Business Objects
Extra data? Not exactly. It may just be in the wrong place. Most businesses have multiple reporting paths like Business Objects, LIS, and GUI reports. These paths may remain unused due to inflexibility or shifts in focus. If it delivered exactly what was needed, it would likely be more popular.
SAP to Power BI
Ever use Power BI? It was designed to be flexible and fast. Want detailed reporting by plant or inventory within sales reporting? Easily add drop-downs, sliders, or other features for seamless adjustments.
Inventory Excesses and Shortages
Got inventory data? Inventory data without context is useless. Simplement delivers easy access to inventory status, helping you and your team see if there is excess or shortage. We focus on simplicity, making inventory data accessible and actionable.
MRP Controller Metrics
Metrics are easy with Simplement. Understand each MRP controller’s performance, allowing planners or buyers to self-monitor. Information enables ownership, and with a real-time control center, your team can make decisions independently, proactively addressing issues.
MRP Dashboard
Get MRP data right after MRP runs. MRP and any other data is available in a day to a few days with Simplement, including cluster tables like MDTC or PCL2. SAP’s standard tcodes like MD05 and MD06 are useful, but Simplement’s MRP dashboard gives a high-level view of MRP issues. The dashboard organizes data by tab for material assignments, master data, inventory issues, and complex planning notifications for easy review.
