S/4HANA for Supply Chain Management
Your way to agile and resilient supply chain operations.
Say "Goodbye" to uncertainty in your supply chain
Deliver customer expectations by optimising supply chain operations through real-time inventory and materials flow analysis and more profitable and sustainable transportation scenarios.
In order to reduce the risks in the face of increasing uncertainty, you need a supply chain that can meet these requirements. This is precisely why leading companies around the world are building sustainable, risk-resilient supply chains based on the following core principles:
What is a sustainable supply chain?
Sustainable supply chain management involves the integration of environmentally friendly and economically viable practices throughout the entire supply chain life cycle - from product design and development through material selection (including raw material extraction or agricultural production), manufacturing and packaging to transportation.
> Streamline the receipt of goods with visibility into shipments, starting from the point of origin
> Manage inventory flow from the receiving dock to the point of goods issue to optimise labour, storage, and fulfilment costs
> Plan, execute, and monitor the movement of goods – from production to point of sale
> Improve decision-making with full visibility into global supply chain movements, risks, and performance
Inventory management
Materials throughout the logistics process can be transported with steady and predictable flows.
Goods movement control
Steer goods movements in terms of quantities and values within and beyond your facility locations.
Analysis and optimisation
Use real-time data and embedded machine learning to identify optimisation potentials, such as slow-moving inventory.
Up-to-date system records
Run your physical inventory process with a business system consistently synchronised with actual stock levels.

Order availability & acceptance
Your customer experience can be enhanced with transparency into order availability and information on alternative products.
Product availability checks
Determine in real-time when materials will be available to guide business planning and logistics schedules.
Strategic commitment analysis
Define and implement order fulfilment strategies based on factors such as different customer priorities.
Advanced order promising tools
Improve order outcomes with tools, including product and plant substitution, product allocation, and supply protection.
