Part of the outcome scenarios as a result of inventory levels optimization efforts and manage the demand of the market is the scarcity.
There are different tools into SAP APO to manage the scarcity and to keep your most important customers and their demand covered; unfortunately, as everybody knows, there is some room on the improvement of user experience, on the way that business can get meaningful figures and track the process in SAP APO.
That was the rationale behind the design of a new report in SAP APO, the Product Allocation Tracker, which aims to get the figures from Demand Planning infrastructure and, on the fly display the orders that were allocated, filtering out by any of the characteristics used to model the customer’s segments.
As you might see, our design was not necessarily the best from User Experience context, that is why, as Functional Consultant, it might be worthy to invest some time learning concepts about Design, and use resources like OpenSAP, where you can find out these courses “Basics of Design Research” and “Software Design for Non-Designers“.
Today, in a consumerized user experience approach and in the middle of Digital Transformation, consultants need to learn new skills and cut their teeth on those ones.
