Inventory Management is the practice of managing inventory flow across an organization with maximum efficiency.

SAP Inventory Management and service-level optimisation software allows you to dynamically link customer service goals with inventory investments across the company's multistage supply chain. Best of all, SAP is a completely customizable solution. That means you can get the exact inventory management features you need without dealing with features you don’t want.

 

Some of the key advantages of SAP MM Inventory Management are:

a) Ensure goods are consistently available at the right time and place,

b) Reduce inventory and increase working capital with deeper insight into your supply chain,

c) Improve demand planning and decrease safety stock levels to cut costs,

d) Use enhanced supplier intelligence to minimise out-of-stock situations,

e) Enable SAP ERP to recommend specific actions that balance profitable service and inventory.

f) Automate the Order to Delivery Process

g) Manage Inventory in Real Time

h) Adapt to Changing Business Needs

 

Important T-codes (transaction codes) that control the movement of materials into, through, and out of your SAP system are:

a) MIGO – Goods movement

b) MB1A – Goods withdrawal

c) MB1C – Goods receipt

d) MBST – Cancel material document

e) MB02 – Change material document

 

SAP helps oversee the flow of materials and products in the warehouse. The process starts with managing the receipt of supplies to prevent overstocking. With that, SAP focuses on the movement of inventories and their count. Here are the primary movements of goods you will encounter in SAP.

Goods Receipt - Goods receipt can either come from suppliers or the company’s own process. The company can either approve inventories for immediate use or check them first. For inventories outside, the company can block them if they have not been ordered. In that way, it will not incur unnecessary expenses.

Goods Issue - The company may choose to process inventories for production or sell to customers. These apply mainly to intermediate goods. In either scenario, the stock level at the plant decreases. But, materials can go to scrap once they are considered unusable, damaged, or past their shelf life.

Internal Movements - Internal movement is when materials are transferred from one storage location to another. In essence, it appears to be a plant-to-plant movement. It happens before materials are used for production or sold to customers. For instance, materials are transferred to quality inspection and sent back for production.
