The situations below happen in virtually every SAP company. They are not edge cases. They are daily problems that have been accepted as normal because nobody had a way to catch them early enough.
A delivery is due tomorrow. The goods have not been picked. The account manager has no idea because nobody is watching the delivery monitor. The customer finds out before anyone internally does.
A scenario runs every morning for all outbound deliveries due within 24 hours where goods issue has not been posted. The account manager and warehouse lead both receive a clear email before 8 AM, while there is still time to act.
A raw material is heading below its reorder point. The purchase requisition is stuck in an approval workflow, or vendor lead times mean stock will hit zero before replenishment arrives. The production planner finds out on the morning of the stop.
123GER monitors the gap between current stock, open purchase orders, and MRP planning dates. When it detects a probable zero-stock situation, it notifies the buyer and production planner together while there is still enough time to react.
An invoice has been sitting parked for eight days. The early-payment discount expired on day three. The vendor is calling about payment and the finance controller did not know the document was stuck.
Finance controllers receive a daily digest of all parked documents older than a set threshold, plus a morning alert for any invoices due within 24 hours that have not yet been released for payment.
The planner has 200 open production orders. Three of them are already past their planned start date. The planner finds out at the end of the shift, too late to recover without unplanned overtime.
A morning digest of all released production orders past their scheduled start date lands in the planner's inbox before the shift begins. Three minutes of reading replaces two hours of transaction checking.
A freight order is planned and ready to execute, but no driver has been assigned. The transport planner has dozens of open orders and this one slips through until the customer calls asking where the shipment is.
123GER scans open freight orders and alerts the transport planner the moment an order reaches execution status without a driver assignment. The issue is caught before it turns into a delivery failure.
Every one of these situations had all the data it needed to be prevented already sitting in SAP. The information was there. What was missing was something watching it and telling the right person while there was still time to act.
