Smart SAP Assistant

  • Key Concepts: 
    A third-party logistics (3PL) location is a physical location that is used by a third-party logistics provider to store and manage inventory for their customers. This type of location is typically used when a company does not have the resources or capacity to manage their own inventory. The SAP SCM-ICH-SNI Supply Network Inventory component allows companies to manage their 3PL locations and inventory in one place. 
    
    How to use it: 
    The SCM-ICH-SNI Supply Network Inventory component allows companies to manage their 3PL locations and inventory in one place. Companies can set up 3PL locations in the system, assign them to specific customers, and track inventory levels at each location. The component also provides visibility into the status of orders and shipments, allowing companies to better manage their supply chain. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When setting up 3PL locations in the system, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included, such as contact information, address, and any special instructions for handling the inventory. Additionally, it is important to regularly review the inventory levels at each 3PL location to ensure that they are accurate and up-to-date.
