Real-time Inventory dashboard in SAP Analytics Cloud.
SAP S/4HANA has changed the paradigm in terms of how ERP systems are designed – both from a technology perspective and from a business perspective. The use of the fast & in-memory SAP HANA database has enabled SAP to reimagine many of the common business processes and workflows. This reflects in the way SAP S/4HANA is designed and continues to evolve.
The Westernacher Margin Analysis Dashboard delivers real-time visibility into margins for Products, Projects (WBS Elements), and Internal Orders using data from your SAP S/4HANA system. While SAP S/4HANA provides the framework and data for this analysis, SAP Analytics Cloud allows for interactive visualization through live dashboards. The Margin Analysis Dashboard enables controllers to analyze key margin and profitability metrics, such as Contribution Margins 1, 2, and 3, providing insights that drive informed decision-making.
