Connection with an External Storekeeper

1. At which point does it become profitable to make use of external storage?
2. How can I ensure a reliable flow of information?
3. How can I continue with the processes that I have currently included in SAP after transferring my storage with as few changes as possible?
4. How can I keep control of stock levels and changes?

The PIKON Solution:

Together with you, we can analyse your processes and the actual problem. On the basis of the different options, we can provide proposals with regard to the required granularity. After weighing up the advantages and the disadvantages, we can, on the basis of your company's objectives and business processes, develop the right solution for you. We can identify gaps in the system in the information process and, working together with you, we can provide the necessary interface definitions. We shall support you in the inclusion and the integration of these interfaces into the SAP standard process. We can help you in your communications with the service provider and help you through the commissioning stage.

1. How can I, efficiently and promptly, keep the external storekeeper advised of proposed additions and reductions to my stock levels?
2. How can I be certain of receiving confirmation of steps I have taken so that I can post these?
3. How do I get the necessary information on discrepancies? 
4. What options exist if I intervene in cases of regulatory errors?
5. How can I use standard processes to develop the overall information flow quickly, reliably and correctly, in such a way that it requires neither correction or revision and that it is in automated form at a reasonable cost?

We can resolve this problem by the essential transformation of data structures, the introduction of a middleware and by defining and introducing monitoring.

2. How can I ensure the complete data flow in my SAP system through the overall process?
3. What options exist if I intervene in the case of regulatory errors?
