SAP-centric logistics execution
Bulk logistics in agriculture & consumer products
Variability in agricultural bulk logistics
In agriculture & consumer products, bulk materials are influenced by moisture, storage conditions and environmental factors. This leads to differences between planned and actual quantities in SAP S/4HANA.
Data recorded in the system does not always reflect what has physically occurred. To maintain accurate financial data, these differences must be identified, validated and reconciled. These processes are often handled manually across multiple systems, increasing workload and introducing the potential for errors and delays.
Resolution through automation
SAP S/4HANA SDM extends SAP S/4HANA in alignment with standard SAP functionality. Material movements and physical changes are captured, validated and reconciled directly in SAP using automated, rule-based processes.
