Stop Leaking Profit: Optimize Your SAP Procurement & MRP

Unlock efficiency, control spend, and free up working capital by activating the SAP capabilities you already own. Modern supply chains cannot afford outdated planning. If your procurement team still relies on spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, or manual purchasing workarounds, you’re not just inefficient—you’re leaking profit. Reveal helps organizations rewire their procurement and MRP processes within SAP to reduce cost-to-serve, eliminate execution gaps, and recover hidden value.

📩 Unlock the value buried in your procurement process

Why It Matters to Executives

Procurement and material planning shouldn’t be firefighting functions—they should be growth enablers. But underused SAP functionality leads to:

  • Over ordering or under ordering materials
  • Expedited purchases that crush margins
  • Missed production due to unaligned MRP settings

These breakdowns create strategic drag—tying up working capital, eroding EBITDA, and limiting your ability to scale. Reveal helps you turn SAP into a real-time decision engine for sourcing and supply—unlocking the value that’s been buried under manual processes.

Common Business Challenges

Despite heavy SAP investment, many procurement and planning teams still struggle to:

  • Operate without visibility—managing shortages and excesses reactively
  • Maintain outdated SOPs or master data misaligned with MRP logic
  • Depend on spreadsheets or third-party tools instead of SAP’s native planning capabilities
  • Automate procurement processes in ECC or S/4HANA using standard functionality
  • Monitor exceptions proactively using SAP—especially with new MRP Live and Fiori apps

These gaps aren’t just technical—they reflect deeper disconnects between business rules, system setup, and end-user behavior.

What We Solve

We don’t just automate. We optimize. Reveal addresses the root cause of inefficiency: the misalignment between people, process, and platform. Our experts:

  • Diagnose where MRP and procurement processes are failing to drive results
  • Align procurement and planning teams with system behavior—ensuring accurate requirements, smart lot sizing, and timely execution
  • Shift procurement from reactive to strategic—prioritizing exception-based management and long-term sourcing visibility
  • Enable exception monitoring through standard SAP tools—including Fiori-based apps in S/4HANA and classic MM-PUR transactions in ECC

This isn’t just about functionality—it’s about enabling execution.

Business Benefits Executives Can Expect

With Reveal’s guidance and oVo® methodology, companies can expect:

  • 50%+ reduction in manual procurement activity through automation and standardization
  • 14–20% improvement in inventory turns through optimized MRP settings and demand alignment
  • Millions in working capital recovery by reducing excess, avoiding shortages, and eliminating expedited purchases
  • Accelerated decision-making through trusted lead times, planning agreements, and inclusion profiles
  • Improved schedule adherence and service levels by ensuring materials are where they need to be—when they need to be

Client Success Snapshot

A $2B global manufacturer struggling with supplier non-compliance and procurement delays partnered with Reveal. Within six months, they overhauled their ECC and Ariba procurement setup, enforced contract compliance, and activated quota arrangements. The result: 14% drop in expedited purchasing, $11M in working capital recovered, and 98% adoption of supplier scorecards.

Reveal’s Approach: How It Works

We use our proprietary oVo® methodology—Discover, Educate, Adopt, Sustain—to drive sustainable procurement performance:

  • Discover where MRP inefficiencies, sourcing gaps, or data disconnects are causing leakage
  • Educate procurement and planning teams on how to work within SAP—whether in ECC or S/4HANA
  • Adopt smart setups—like lot-sizing, planning agreements, source lists, and exception monitoring
  • Sustain gains through Performance Assurance and digital tools like Reveal TV to reinforce capability

This is about more than system setup—it’s about instilling confidence and competence in the teams that run it.

Why SAP—and Why Reveal

SAP has the native power to automate procurement, monitor exceptions, and drive real-time MRP. You don’t need a new platform or custom code. You need to trust the system you’ve already bought.

Reveal activates that potential—unlocking value trapped in the gap between your system’s capability and your team's current behavior. We make SAP work for your people, not around them.

Q&A

Q

What’s the difference between classic MRP and MRP Live in S/4HANA?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

Classic MRP runs in ABAP and processes data sequentially, often generating MRP lists. MRP Live, by contrast, processes data in-memory on HANA, eliminating outdated MRP lists and enabling faster, real-time planning in transaction MD01N—with Fiori cockpit and advanced exception management

Q

How can we fully leverage SAP Fiori apps for procurement in S/4HANA?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

Fiori offers tile-based role-specific apps—like “Monitor Material Coverage,” “Manage Purchase Requisitions,” and “Track Purchase Orders”—that replace legacy MM‑PUR transactions. These tools enable proactive exception visibility, guided workflows, and automation through Reveal’s oVo®-led SOPs, transforming manual tasks into streamlined digital processes.

Q

Why continue using ECC when S/4HANA brings MRP Live?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

For companies on ECC, optimizing the MM‑PUR module still delivers value. But moving to S/4 enables system-led replenishment, eliminates spreadsheet dependency, and activates real-time planning with MRP Live and Fiori. Reveal aligns ECC and S/4 flows, building SOPs to ensure smooth transition and measurable intermediate ROI.
