Inventory Management Starter Kit and Apps (2023-05-18)

Starter Kit dependency removed from apps and KPIs streamlined

The Inventory Management Control Center app (from version 2.0.0), Inventory Management Master Data Improvement app (from version 2.0.0), and Inventory Management Material Shortages app (from version 2.1.0) no longer depend on the Inventory Management Starter Kit. The apps now have their own fully self-contained Knowledge Models, so you don't need to install the Inventory Management Starter Kit and connect it to the apps before you can use them.

We've streamlined the KPIs for Inventory Management as part of this change. KPIs, filters, and variables that were not used in the Starter Kit or in any of the Inventory Management apps have been removed to reduce complexity. For the Inventory Management Starter Kit, these changes are in version 1.3.0. We've also unified some intermediate KPIs in version 2.0.0 of the Inventory Management Control Center to optimize the computation of Target Stock and Excess Inventory Rate.

If you still want to keep the previous setup, where the Inventory Management Starter Kit's Master Knowledge Model acts as a single point of truth for all Inventory Management KPIs, you can. That Knowledge Model contains all of the Inventory Management KPIs that are used by the apps. Follow the guide at App installation if you want to set up any of the apps to use the Master Knowledge Model instead of their self-contained Knowledge Model.
