The working-capital line on the balance sheet. **Metrics type:** [Card](/nerve-centre/overview#metrics-types-explained) > On-hand inventory at landed cost in S/4HANA Cloud. The working-capital line on the balance sheet. ## At a glance > On-hand inventory at standard or moving-average price in S/4HANA Cloud, valued via the Material Master price control field (`MARC.VPRSV`). The working-capital line on the balance sheet, sourced from the Universal Journal stock postings. Sums valuated stock across all storage locations and plants, multiplied by current valuation price. | | | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **What it counts** | `SUM(MARD.LABST × MBEW.STPRS)` for materials with price control `S` (standard price) plus `SUM(MARD.LABST × MBEW.VERPR)` for materials with price control `V` (moving average price). MARD = stock per material per storage location; MBEW = material valuation. The card sums valuated stock only (excludes consignment, returns blocked stock, in-transit unless owned). Reconciles to GL inventory accounts (typically 130xxx range) on the balance sheet. | | **Tax treatment** | n/a, this is a balance sheet inventory figure not a sales figure. | | **Shipping** | Inbound freight is included if the procurement-condition cost (FRA1, FRB1) is set up as a delivery cost that loads onto the material's moving-average price. Most enterprise SAP setups configure this. | | **Discounts** | Procurement discounts (RA00, RB00) net into moving-average price at goods receipt. | | **Refunds** | n/a. | | **Cancelled / voided orders** | n/a. | | **Currency** | Group Currency for consolidated views; Company Code currency for single-CC views. SAP stores material valuation in CC currency natively (`MBEW`) and Group Currency variant (`MBEWH` historical). | | **Channels / sources** | All plants visible to the connected role. Excluded by default: consignment stock owned by suppliers (W type), return-blocked stock (R type), restricted stock (Z type). Configurable per merchant. | | **Valuation method** | Standard price (S) or moving average (V), per material. Stock-in-transit valued if owned (FOB-origin shipments). | | **Time window** | `RT` (real-time snapshot from MBEW + MARD) | | **Alert trigger** | None by default; pair with [Inventory Aging](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/inventory-aging) and [Dead Stock Value](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/dead-stock-value) for actionable subsets. | | **Roles** | owner, finance, operations | ## Calculation Calculated automatically from your SAP 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 US enterprise B2B distributor on S/4HANA Cloud with 4 plants across 3 Company Codes. Snapshot 03 May 26. | Plant | Company Code | Material count | Valuated stock value (USD, Group Currency) | | ------------------------------------- | ------------ | -------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | 1010 (US East DC) | 1000 US Inc | 8,420 | \$24,180,000 | | 1020 (US West DC) | 1000 US Inc | 7,840 | \$19,640,000 | | 2010 (CA Toronto) | 2000 CA Ltd | 4,180 | \$8,420,000 | | 3010 (MX Monterrey) | 3000 MX SA | 3,940 | \$5,180,000 | | **Total Inventory Value (this card)** | | **24,380** | **\$57,420,000** | Five things to notice: 1. **\$57.4M of inventory at landed cost is the balance-sheet asset figure.** Reconciles to the GL inventory accounts (130xxx range) on the trial balance to within rounding. 2. **Plant 1010 (US East DC) holds 42% of the value.** Concentration is normal for a distribution model with regional fulfilment, but means a single warehouse outage hits 42% of revenue capacity. 3. **Pair this card with [Inventory Aging](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/inventory-aging) and [Dead Stock Value](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/dead-stock-value).** Of $57.4M total, typically 8 to 18% is aged > 180 days and 3 to 8% is dead-stock zero-velocity. For this merchant: $5.2M aged, \$1.8M dead. 4. **Inventory turnover** = Annual COGS / average inventory. With $190M annual COGS on $57M average inventory, turnover is 3.3x (about 110 days of inventory on hand). Industry benchmark for B2B distribution: 4 to 6x. The merchant carries more inventory than peers, likely due to product diversity or service-level commitments. 5. **Multi-Company-Code Group Reporting view.** SAP's Universal Journal stores valuation in both CC currency and Group Currency. The card pivots cleanly between consolidated USD (\$57.4M) and per-CC native (Toronto plant in CAD, Monterrey in MXN). FX revaluation of Group Currency runs at month-end via Foreign Currency Valuation Fiori app. ## Sibling cards merchants should reference together | Card | Why pair it with Total Inventory Value | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | [Inventory Aging](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/inventory-aging) | The bucketed-by-age view of this same total. Aged stock is illiquid working capital. | | [Dead Stock Value](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/dead-stock-value) | The zero-velocity write-down candidate within the total. | | [Inventory Turnover Ratio](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/inventory-turnover-ratio) | How fast this total is converting to sales. | | [Inventory Carrying Cost](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/sap-inventory-carrying-cost) | The annual cost of holding this total (storage, insurance, capital). | | [Top SKUs by Inventory Value](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/sap-top-skus-value) | Concentration: which materials dominate the total. | | [Average Landed Cost per Unit](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/average-landed-cost-per-unit) | Cost-side trend that can move this total without volume change. | | [Landed Cost Variance vs Standard](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/landed-cost-variance-vs-standard) | Variance signals a moving-average vs standard-price gap. | ## Reconciling against the vendor's own dashboard **Where to look in S/4HANA Cloud:** > **Material Inventory Values, Stock Overview** Fiori app > **Stock Overview** transaction MMBE (per material) / MB52 (multi-material list) > **Trial Balance** Fiori app filtered to inventory account hierarchy node > **Embedded Analytics**: CDS view `I_MaterialStock` and `I_MaterialValuation` Direct deep-link: `https://my{tenant}.s4hana.cloud.sap/sap/bc/ui2/flp#MaterialInventoryValues-display` **Why our number may legitimately differ from MB52 / Trial Balance:** | Reason | Direction | Why | | ------------------------------ | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Stock type filter** | Either | Card excludes consignment, blocked, restricted by default. MB52 may include them. Align via filter. | | **Plant scope** | Either | Card respects dashboard CC scope; MB52 typically shows all authorised plants. | | **Valuation snapshot timing** | Small | Card refreshes every 15 minutes; MB52 is real-time. | | **Standard vs moving average** | None | Card uses each material's price control (S or V); same as SAP's standard valuation. | | **In-transit valuation** | Either | Owned in-transit (FOB origin) included; non-owned (FOB destination) excluded. Configurable. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** | Card | Direction | Notes | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Inventory Sync Drift](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/sap/inventory-sync-drift) | Indirect | The unit-level drift between SAP and commerce platforms is the operational risk on this balance-sheet figure. | | Commerce-platform inventory cards (Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce) | n/a | Commerce platforms typically display unit count, not value. SAP is the financial valuation source of truth. | ## Known limitations / merchant FAQs **Why is the card lower than my Trial Balance inventory account?** Most often: blocked / restricted / consignment stock is in the GL account but excluded from the card by default. Toggle in the field map. **Standard price (S) vs moving average (V), which does the card use?** Each material's own price control. SAP allows materials to mix S and V across the chart. The card respects each material's setting; it does not force one method. **FX revaluation and Group Currency, when does the card update?** Group Currency stock value updates with each material posting (goods receipt, goods issue, transfer, revaluation). End-of-period FX revaluation runs (Foreign Currency Valuation Fiori app) update parallel-currency balances; the card picks up the new values within 15 minutes of the run. **Consignment stock, owned by us or by suppliers?** Consignment-from-supplier (W type, vendor-owned) is excluded; consignment-to-customer (where we still own it but it is at the customer's site) is included. **In-transit stock, included?** If we own it (FOB origin), yes. If the supplier owns it until delivery (FOB destination), no. **SAP S/4HANA on-premise vs Cloud, does the card behave differently?** Same data structure (`MARD`, `MBEW`, Universal Journal stock postings). Connector path differs slightly; both are supported. **Material Ledger (CKM3N) vs basic valuation, which does the card show?** If your tenant has Actual Costing / Material Ledger active, the card uses periodic actual cost when available; otherwise standard or moving-average price. Configurable via field map. **T-codes for drilling in?** MMBE / MB52 (stock overview), CKM3N (material price analysis), MR21 (price change), MI31 (physical inventory). **What does this number mean for the bank lender?** It is the inventory line on the balance sheet. Inventory-backed lending facilities (revolving credit lines, asset-based lending) typically advance 50 to 70% of inventory value. So $57.4M inventory backs $28 to \$40M of borrowing capacity, depending on the lender's haircut. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *Total Inventory Value* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across SAP and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
