Reversal postings are not considered.    Inventory Turnover Changes   Inventory Turnover Changes Calculation   The inventory turnover changes are defined as a relationship between consumption quantity and average stock quantity in the selected time period (quarters, months, days).   An inventory turnover determines how often the average material was destocked and restocked in a specific time frame. A high inventory turnover indicates that materials are not in storage for a long time and that storage costs are low. With this KPI, warehouse managers receive important information about special materials or material groups.    Range of Coverage Changes   Range of Coverage Changes Calculation   The range of coverage changes are defined as a relationship between current stock quantity and the relationship between consumption and number of days in the selected time period.     Average Consumption   As a result you get the range of coverage in days.   The range of coverage provides information at stock level in relation to demand. It informs you how long a stock amount will last given a specific average daily requirement.
