Why It Matters to Executives

SAP Quality and Batch Management are often treated as compliance checkboxes. But when underused, they quietly drive up costs and amplify business risk. Without accurate batch genealogy or timely quality decisions, you lose control over recalls, carry unnecessary inventory, and risk customer-facing failures. The result? Strategic drag that weakens EBITDA, ties up working capital, and erodes brand equity.

Reveal helps unlock the profit hidden in your operations by making SAP’s Quality and Batch Management tools work as intended—across ECC and S/4HANA.

Common Business Challenges

  • Delayed quality decisions stall MRP accuracy and delay production.
  • Batch traceability gaps require broad, costly recalls instead of targeted interventions.
  • Manual workarounds (spreadsheets, siloed systems) slow reaction time in a crisis.
  • Inbound quality issues increase scrap, rework, and downstream defects.
  • Unapproved vendors and expired batches creep into production unnoticed.

What We Solve: Fix the Root, Not the Symptoms

Reveal addresses the root causes of quality and traceability breakdowns—not just the symptoms. We eliminate the data trust issues, process inconsistencies, and system underuse that keep SAP Quality Management (QM) and Batch Management from performing.

We help teams move beyond transactional firefighting to intelligent, SAP-driven execution:

  • Real-time quality inspection, notification, and disposition.
  • Automated batch genealogy, leveraging SAP’s Global Batch Traceability (GBT).
  • Integrated workflows across Procurement, Production, and Distribution.
  • Clear chain of custody for serialized and batch-managed materials.
  • Accurate master data and quality rules to drive proactive decisions.

Business Benefits Executives Can Expect

  • Faster, targeted recalls using SAP GBT to reduce liability and recall scope.
  • Inventory accuracy and availability improve with real-time quality status integration.
  • Reduced rework and scrap costs, driving margin improvement.
  • Lower operating costs through automation and fewer manual interventions.
  • Increased customer trust and service levels through defect-free delivery.

Client Success Snapshot

A global electronics leader cut recall costs by 62% and freed $14M in working capital by activating SAP batch tracking and real-time quality controls.

Reveal’s Approach: How It Works

Reveal’s oVo® methodology (Discover, Educate, Adopt, Sustain) is designed to change behavior—not just configure SAP.

  • Discover where breakdowns in SAP usage are causing risk and cost.
  • Educate teams to trust the system, not the spreadsheet.
  • Adopt best practices that align process and SAP QM functionality.
  • Sustain the gains with embedded KPIs, ongoing coaching, and digital tools.

Why SAP—and Why Reveal

SAP has everything needed to run world-class quality and batch processes—without custom code or bolt-on software. The problem is not the platform. It’s the way it’s used.

Reveal doesn’t reimplement. We unlock the performance potential already in your system—activating core tools like inspection lots, usage decisions, batch status control, vendor certification, and GBT. We bridge the execution gap between SAP capability and operational outcomes.

Q&A

Q

How can I improve batch traceability and reduce recall risk in SAP?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

Many companies struggle with incomplete batch traceability, forcing costly workarounds outside of SAP and increasing recall exposure. Reveal enables full digital traceability by activating SAP’s native batch management capabilities. This allows you to track inventory from supplier to production to customer—without relying on spreadsheets—so you can respond to quality events quickly, contain risk, and reduce the cost of over-recalling.

Q

Why is my MRP generating inaccurate plans during quality inspections?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

MRP often misfires when inventory is awaiting a quality decision and SAP doesn’t reflect the true available stock. Reveal resolves this by optimizing how SAP handles inspection lots and batch status updates. Your planning engine then sees only accurate, actionable data—reducing overproduction, improving material flow, and enabling smarter production decisions.

Q

What’s the best way to manage batch expiration and quality status in SAP without manual workarounds?

SAP and S/4HANA Insights
A

Manual tracking of batch expiration and quality status outside of SAP creates compliance risk and inefficiency. Reveal embeds these controls directly into your SAP processes, automating expiration checks, vendor approvals, and stock dispositions. This ensures real-time visibility and system-driven decisions—saving time, ensuring compliance, and preventing costly errors.
