SAP Order Management for sourcing and availability
Optimize sourcing decisions and fulfillment strategies based on business objectives and a
centralized view of inventory availability.
How can SAP Order
Management for sourcing
and availability help you
change the game?
Today, retailers have to manage the
trade-off between customer
happiness and increasing costs of
fast fulfillment. On the one hand,
businesses must have a centralized,
accurate inventory picture to make
the most efficient sourcing decisions
based solely on their business
objectives. On the other hand, rapid
delivery of orders in full is essential in
order to keep consumers happy and
expenses low or under control. Now,
SAP customers can ensure the ideal
balance between customer
satisfaction and saving time and costs
by optimizing the fulfilment plan
across all business goals at the same
time.
What are the key
capabilities?
▪ Central repository of near real-time
product availability data (across SAP
and non-SAP system landscape) from
distribution centers and stores
▪ Reservation management to provide
consistent availability across
channels and prevent order
cancellations.
▪ Intelligent sourcing optimization
based on weighted business goals
such as delivery time, utilized
capacity, cost to ship and shipment
per order
▪ Easy strategy configuration through
business user-friendly interface
versus rule-based configuration
▪ Monitoring of strategy performance
against business goals
What are the benefits?
SAP Order Management for
sourcing and availability helps
retailers increase sourcing efficiency
and fulfillment rates at the same
time. Other benefits include:
▪ Faster delivery, lower logistics
costs, and balanced inventory
across stores and distribution
centers
▪ Improved customer satisfaction
by delivering complete orders on
time
▪ Saving time and costs by
simultaneously optimizing the
fulfilment plan across all
business goals
Why SAP?
Based on SAP's long-standing
industry experience, SAP Order
Management for sourcing and
availability provides reliable and
consistent product availability to
consumers and optimizes the
orders’ fulfilment plans based on
