SAP Key-Performance-Indicator (KPI) – for founders and managers

SAP Business One System

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are used to measure performance and relate to company-wide parameters such as e.g. profitability or liquidity. With the KPI widget you can create key figures that describe various aspects of your company, such as the total amount, the target for a selected period or the current trend compared to the previous period. KPIs are used for machines and employees to plan and review important goals and their achievement. It is a continuous improvement process possible because the relevant key figures are already stored in some ERP systems.
