Bi4Cloud has several Inventory reports including:
- Inventory
- Inventory vs Sales
- Inventory Cover
The Inventory Report shows Committed ( Orders / Quotes), On PO and calculates Available. These value are a static position and it does not take into account the sales velocities.
The Inventory Cover Report looks at Sales in the last 8 weeks and the last 20 weeks and provides an estimate of the weeks of cover before a stock-out. The two time periods used for analysis provide for fast moving ie an 8 weeks horizon or slower moving ie. a 20 week horizon.
