Powerful built-in SAP knowledge
Every Angle is designed by SAP experts and is engineered with in-depth knowledge of SAP. Based on the underlying SAP transaction database, Every Angle ‘knows’ about the standard SAP system and automatically discovers details about the way your SAP has been configured. For example, Every Angle automatically relates sales orders, deliveries, shipments, billing documents and payments in a way that makes it easy for business users to analyze the ‘Order to Cash processes’. Similarly for ‘Procure to Pay’. Every Angle automatically detects the root cause of bottlenecks in supply chains, creates the relationship between the purchase orders for raw materials, the available stocks, the work orders consuming those same materials, and the reservations and intercompany deliveries created by the demand planning processes. Every Angle is smart enough to properly manage complex conditions such as partially deliveries, cancellations, returns, SAP long texts, partner roles, multi-dimensions, multi-currency and SAP classification characteristics, and much more.
Fast and easy reporting
Supply chain managers and SAP ERP business users need all kinds of information over all the steps between purchasing and customer delivery. The information they need, can be collected and presented in Every Angle through simple lists or exceptional overviews, but also in more complex lists that involve many functions and SAP tables. Every Angle is a unique solution, designed to give you a full overview of every step of the supply chain, and in addition it’s able to show you fast and clear the relationships between all these steps.
Suppose you have a thousandth purchase order lines open, a hundredth of them might be over due, but only three of them are important because via one or more steps in the supply chain, they are influencing the service level of an important customer. Which three orders are they? Every Angle will tell you all the details, fast and easy.

The built-in analytics on shelf life expiration, blocked stock and safety stock levels can be quite powerful as well in many occasions. Most Every Angle customers realize a drastic reduction of stock costs, varying from 10 percent to over 40 percent.
