SAP Connect for Supply Chain

Stop holding the wrong stock in the wrong places

Industries & Use Cases:

• Food & Beverage: Managing shelf-life constraints and reducing expiry waste.
• Medical Devices: Ensuring regulatory compliance and safety stock across regions.
• Manufacturing & Distribution: Balancing inventory levels across multiple warehouses and sites.

What to expect: Many organisations struggle with "inventory bloat"—holding too much stock to cover uncertainty—or face stockouts because inventory is trapped in the wrong location. In this session, we explore how SAP Inventory

Optimisation helps businesses:

• Decide exactly how much stock is required to meet service levels.
• Determine where stock should sit across the network (Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimisation).
• Unlock cash flow and reduce working capital without risking customer service.

Session Format: Hear directly from the SAP Product Team on the latest capabilities, alongside real customer stories sharing how they successfully reduced waste and improved resilience.

Getting the right stock to the right demand — automatically

Industries & Use Cases:

• Fashion & Retail: Matching specific stock to premium channels or seasons.
• Life Sciences: Ensuring specific batches (e.g., Country of Origin) meet regulated demand.
• Manufacturing: Managing product revisions and tariff-based sourcing without manual work.

What to expect: Supply chains are becoming more complex, but your planning doesn’t have to be. This session unpacks Segmentation in SAP S/4HANA—a powerful capability that moves beyond simple "first-come, first-served" logic.

You will learn how to:

• Reduce Complexity: Avoid "SKU proliferation" by using logical attributes (like quality, origin, or channel) instead of creating new material codes.
• Automate Allocation: Set rules that automatically match specific supply to specific demand (e.g., ensuring "US-made" stock goes to "US Government" orders).
• Integrate End-to-End: See how segmentation flows seamlessly from Sales (ATP) through to Production (PP/DS) and Logistics.

Session Format: This session moves from concept to reality, featuring insights from the SAP Product Team and customer experiences that demonstrate how segmentation automates compliance and streamlines execution.
