What is the GIB VMI?
The GIB VMI or Vendor Managed Inventory is a module of the GIB Suite on ECC 6.0. Today's Vendor Managed Inventory, formerly "GIB Dispo-Cockpit Vendor Managed Inventory", enables the connection of suppliers without EDI and without additional hardware. VMI is a browser-based solution and allows the supplier limited access to the customer's SAP values. This allows the supplier to plan his materials himself within the scope of his authority, to ensure timely replenishment and to bear the risk of overstocking. The user will also find the functionalities of the GIB Vendor Managed Inventory in the new Supply Chain Excellence on SAP S/4HANA suite, namely in the Procurement process area.
