Cadexpress+ S/4 MRP
and Batch Tracking: Enhance
Your Demand Planning
Companies in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical sectors use raw materials and produce products that are subject to optimal use-by or expiration dates. These companies, when using SAP S/4HANA ERP, face a real challenge: the demand planning does not take into account the projected expiration date of batches.
The Cadexpress+ S/4 MRP and batch tracking solution, with the consideration of the projected expiration date of batches, allows for the automatic integration into SAP demand planning of the unavailability of batches by their projected expiration date.
Optimal batch tracking to improve
the performance of your supply chain
Reduction
of Stockouts
Avoid stockouts by considering the expiration date of product batches in stock when evaluating the availability of materials and products.
Reduction
of Downgrades
Visualize the quantities that will remain in stock at the expiration date in order to anticipate actions to reduce downgrades or destructions.
Real-Time Visibility
Gain immediate visibility into the impacts linked to lot expiration. The dynamic stock status (MD04) directly displays new information related to the consideration of lot expiration in requirements planning.
In SAP, consideration of the expiration of batches of materials, semi-finished, or finished products is limited to lists of stock batches with the expected expiration date. Already equipped with SAP ECC6 or SAP S/4HANA, our Cadexpress+ applications meet the needs identified by our industrial clients.
Without additional “customization,” without changes in organizations, without modification of procedures, these solutions consist of features that enhance your standard ERP to quickly optimize your key business processes.
Key Features:
a comprehensive integration into SAP
that accelerates your processes
- Display in the dynamic stock status of standard SAP (MD04) of the lot’s validity end, at its expected expiration date
- Generation of replenishment proposals if needed
- List of “reservations” for projected destruction, recycling, or downgrading
The anticipation and planning of replenishments induced by the expected unavailability of expired lots is entirely manual. This solution helps to avoid shortages due to a poor assessment of availability in the MRP and to anticipate actions to reduce destruction or downgrading of expired products.
