You use this function to define your own warehouse key figures supported by the system. You map your key figures using tailored and calculated measurement services (TMS and CMS). Some of the key figures

• Outbound deliveries that have left the warehouse too late
• Number of open physical inventory documents that are older than 5 days old
• Number of handling units in goods receipt

Measurement services are based on one another:

TMS

A tailored measurement service (TMS) is based on a basic measurement service (BMS) selected by you. BMSs are the building blocks of your warehouse key figures, provided by SAP and cannot be used on their own. Examples of BMSs are number of inbound deliveries, or number of warehouse tasks.

CMS

A calculated measurement service (CMS) is a mathematic formula. It consists of:

• One or more CMSs

Warehouse Management monitor

The warehouse management monitor is a central tool for keeping warehouse managers constantly up-to-date as to the current situation in the warehouse, and to enable them to initiate appropriate responses in light of this situation. The warehouse management monitor also contains alert monitoring capabilities, which highlight to warehouse managers actual and potential problematic situations in the warehouse, and provide exception handling tools.
