IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System Business Intelligence Reports

To aid warehouse managers who are responsible for decision-making in terms of inventory, inbound, outbound, and other operations in the warehouse, the IBM® Sterling Warehouse Management System Business Intelligence provides many reports. Access to these reports is controlled, based on the group to which the user belongs.

The IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System Business Intelligence reports can also be used by enterprise users for tracking inventory across nodes. These reports aid enterprise users in better decision-making by providing complete visibility to the inventory across all nodes.

The IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System Business Intelligence also provides a better user interface by integrating reports with the Application Console. Dynamic menus are provided to enable users to access reports from the appropriate consoles. The reports displayed in the menu are based on the user's group. For example, only users who belong to the group representing warehouse managers can view the Order Billing Report and the Shipment Billing Report in their menu. Data security is maintained in the reports by allowing only users with appropriate permissions to access the information.

After the user navigates to the search screen of a specific report, the criteria for generating the report can be entered in the search screen. Based upon this criteria, the IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System Business Intelligence displays the appropriate report.

Reports are created using Cognos® 10.1.1. Please refer to the Cognos 10.1.1 documentation for information about designing reports.

The reports provided with the IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System are grouped into the following four menu classifications:
