The Problem

SAP MM Shows 12 Bearings on the Shelf. In Reality, 4 Were Used This Morning.

The gap between physical parts consumption and SAP inventory update is where maintenance inventory accuracy falls apart. Technicians consume parts in the field. Someone is supposed to post the goods issue in SAP later. They forget, batch it, or get it wrong.

Without HVI

Technician grabs parts from the shelf. Nobody posts the goods issue until days later. SAP shows phantom stock. Reorder points fire late. Emergency orders follow.

HVI Bridges the Gap

Technician selects parts on the work order in HVI. On completion, HVI posts the goods issue to SAP MM automatically. Stock updates in seconds. No MIGO required.

With HVI + SAP MM

SAP inventory is accurate within seconds of consumption. Reorder points evaluate against current stock. MRP runs against real data. Finance sees actual costs as they happen.

Real-Time Stock Levels & Goods Receipt

SAP MM stock levels mirror into HVI continuously. When a purchase order is received and goods receipt is posted in SAP, HVI updates on-hand quantities instantly. Maintenance planners see real-time part availability without logging into SAP or calling the warehouse. Goods transfers between storage locations and plants are tracked in both systems.

Purchase Requisitions & Material Reservations

When goods issue drops stock below reorder point, HVI pushes a purchase requisition directly into SAP MM with the correct material group, vendor, and cost center. For planned maintenance, HVI creates material reservations in SAP that earmark parts for upcoming jobs — preventing other departments from consuming stock your maintenance team needs.
