Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Oracle ERP Cloud data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

Worked example

A Fortune 500 retailer’s top 5 SKUs by inventory value:
SKUOn-hand value
FURN-SOFA-EXEC$4,820,000
FURN-DESK-CEO$3,420,000
ELEC-TV-OLED-65$2,840,000
FURN-CHAIR-EXEC$2,420,000
ELEC-LAPTOP-PRO$2,180,000
Five things to notice:
  1. Top 20 typically hold 60-80% of value. Operations focus.
  2. High-value SKUs need cycle counts more often.
  3. Pair with Inventory Aging: high-value + aged = priority write-down.
  4. Insurance / loss-prevention focus.
  5. Drill into per-warehouse: which DC holds the high-value stock.
