The Challenge

Bringing Open Sales Order Visibility into One View

Managing thousands of open sales orders across multiple business functions became increasingly difficult. Sales, warehouse, finance, and customer service teams each relied on separate reports. The fragmented reporting process created operational delays and reduced visibility across the order-to-cash cycle.

Multiple SAP Reports

Business users switched between several SAP transactions to monitor sales orders, deliveries, billing, and credit status.

Manual Report Consolidation

Customer service teams manually combined information from multiple reports into spreadsheets before taking action.

Limited Order Visibility

There was no centralized dashboard to monitor open orders, delivery delays, billing status, and credit blocks in one place.

Delayed Issue Resolution

Without aging analysis or prioritization, identifying critical orders and resolving customer issues became a time-consuming process.

Solution Delivered

Building a Centralized Open Sales Order Dashboard

BMCG designed and implemented a custom SAP ALV dashboard that consolidated sales order, delivery, billing, credit, and inventory information into a single reporting interface. Instead of navigating multiple SAP transactions, business users could monitor the complete order lifecycle from one dashboard and quickly identify orders requiring immediate attention.
