Learn about the Inventory Operations Health dashboard

Updated over a week ago

The Inventory Operations Health report provides actionable insights into how Recurrency impacts key inventory metrics on a short term cadence. A faster reporting cycle helps users monitor inventory health, understand trends, and make informed decisions in near real-time.

The report is highly filterable and supports detailed analysis by:

  • Location

  • Stockable / Non-stockable

  • ABC Class

  • Primary Supplier

  • Buyer

  • Product Group

  • Item

It includes metrics such as weekly inflow/outflow, inventory aging, fill rate, and new backorders to help you stay on top of critical inventory dynamics.


Weekly Inflow/Outflow


Weekly Inflow/Outflow captures the total value of inventory moving in and out of your system each week.

  • Inflow: Calculated from purchase orders, it reflects the total value of goods received.

    • Formula:

      Unit Price × Unit Size × Quantity Received

    • Data Sources:

      • P21: p21_po_line

      • SAP B1: por1_purchase_order_rows

  • Outflow: Represents the total cost of goods shipped to customers within the week.

    • Formula:

      Sum of costs from all invoiced lines (based on invoice date).

    • Data Sources:

      • P21: p21_invoice_line

      • SAP B1:

        • inv1_ar_invoice_rows

        • oinv_ar_invoices

Transfers Toggle

A “Show Transfers” toggle allows you to include or exclude inventory transfers between locations:

  • On: Includes transfers in the inflow/outflow calculation for a complete picture of internal and external movement.

  • Off: Shows only external movement (e.g., purchases and sales).

This flexibility helps you analyze both inbound and outbound flows at a granular level.


Inventory Aging

Inventory aging provides a breakdown of current inventory value, grouped by how long the inventory has been held in stock.

Calculation

  1. Start with the current inventory value for each item/location.

  2. Trace back to positive inventory receipts and layer them by age.

  3. Retain layers contributing to the current inventory total.

  4. Bucket into age groups:

    1. Only inventory still on hand is retained.

    2. These remaining layers are assigned an age based on how long ago the inventory was received.

  5. Use costs for the month/item/location and group them by month.

Age Bucketing Logic

Inventory receipts are grouped into monthly buckets based on the calendar month they were received — not their exact age in days.

  • A receipt is treated as if it was received on the first day of its calendar month, regardless of the actual date.

  • For example:

    • If today is July 2 and a receipt came in on June 26, it will be bucketed under "Last Month" (June) — even though it's only 6 days old.

Actual Buckets Used

Bucket

Calendar Month Received

Current Month

This month (e.g. July)

Last Month

1 month ago (e.g. June)

2 Months Ago

2 Months Ago (e.g. May)

3 Months Ago

3 Months Ago (e.g. April)

4 Months Ago

4 Months Ago (e.g. March)

📌 Note: Buckets do not reflect exact day count. A receipt can be only a few days old and still appear in the “Last Month” bucket if it was received in the previous calendar month

Data Sources:

  • P21: p21_inv_tran

  • SAP B1: oinm_inventory_transactions

This helps identify slow-moving or aging inventory.


Weekly Fill Rate


The weekly fill rate measures the percentage of orders shipped and completed on time each week.

Calculation

  • Uses the same calculation as Inventory Mission Control but applies it on a weekly basis.

  • Includes the fill rate grace period (defined in your settings).

  • Excludes cancellations.

  • An order is considered on time if completed within the grace period.


Weekly New Backorders


This metric captures the total inventory value of new backorders created each week.

Calculation

  1. Identify positive backorder delta values (based on transaction date).

  2. Determine the average unit cost for each item/location.

  3. Multiply the backorder delta by unit cost.

  4. Exclude transactions > $1,000,000 to filter out potential errors.

  5. Sum by week.

Data Sources:

  • P21: p21_inv_tran

  • SAP B1: oinm_inventory_transactions

This metric provides visibility into emerging backorder issues.
