In today’s business, it is one of the toughest challenges to meet the inventory requirements as per customer demands. Also, with the development of new technologies, the expectations have increased.

In the above image, you can see a simplified inventory management data model that led to the creation of Material document table MATDOC. Following changes are implemented with this approach −

  • No need of saving aggregated tables, on fly aggregation
  • No joining is required with merging header and item level
  • Corrected Material Master Data Table

Material Valuation

In SAP S/4 HANA Enterprise Management, following material valuation methods are supported −

  • Standard Price
  • Moving Avg. Price
  • Actual Costing

You have the clear separation of master data from transactional data. S/4HANA data model includes only 4 tables instead of multiple tables. You observe reduction of memory footprint and data footprint.

Reporting is not only based on material ledger tables and that contains data only related to material. No information is provided related to financial dimensions. The new reporting based on S/4 HANA data model includes both financial and material data.
