Backorder Calculation in SAP BW

The SAP BW project focused on optimizing the management of Sales Backorders by integrating Sales, Inventory, and Delivery data. Designed with SAP Query Designer, the project aimed to create efficient queries for extracting data, and Analysis for Office was employed to provide a user-friendly interface for exploring and analyzing the result data.

Scope and Modules:

The project encompassed the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data from key modules:

• Sales Orders

• Inventory Data

• Delivery Data

Design Procedure:

The design procedure involved a step-by-step process:

1. Data Integration: Integrated Sales and Delivery data.

2. Delivered Sales Orders: Identified and extracted successfully delivered sales orders.

3. Open Orders: Isolated open orders from the dataset.

4. Linking with Inventory: Connected open orders with on-hand inventory data.

5. Backorder Calculation: Implemented logic to identify backorders if inventory was insufficient.

6. Exception Handling: Robust mechanisms to manage scenarios where inventory fell short.

7. Reporting and Analysis: Generated reports using Analysis for Office for real-time insights.

8. Iterative Refinement: Continuous refinement based on stakeholder feedback and ongoing monitoring.
