Optimize costs with bill of materials analysis and supplier simulation

This product module integrates with SAP BTP Planning and Analytics, empowering you to perform cost analysis and simulation of full production portfolios based on detailed bills of materials and immediately translate signals from the supply chains and volatile markets to the cost of products.

Benefits

  • Manage your margin proactively based on the latest information

    Embrace increased market volatility with real-time price signals and proactive margin management by sales pricing based on current market development reflecting the most updated forecast from procurement.
