To help us gain a quick view of the embedded intelligent predictive capabilities leveraging machine learning in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, I will provide brief descriptions and result screenshot of 8 selected simple intelligent scenarios. These are supply chain and sale related scenarios - produce, manufacturing, inventory management, logistics execution and they can be adopted in minutes without extra configuration. I will also introduce the steps to activate a predictive analytics mode by the end of this blog.
Index
Scenario 1: Predict the delivery date for a stock transport order
Scenario 2: Monitor Slow-Moving Materials with the Predictive Analytics Model
Scenario 3: Predict the delivery date of purchase order items
Scenario 4: Predict the quantity consumption of purchase contracts
Scenario 5: Predict Delivery Processing Delay
Scenario 6: Predictive Scenario for Project Cost Forecasting
Scenario 7: Predict Sales Volume
Scenario 8: Predict quotation conversion rates and net value of converted quotations
Steps to activate the predictive analytics model
There will be more to be continuously updated.
Scenario 1: Predict the delivery date for a stock transport order
Use an active version of predictive analytics scenario MATERIAL_OVERDUE_SIT (Stock in Transit Material Overdue) to predict the delivery date and predicted deviation for a stock transport order.

Scenario 2: Monitor Slow-Moving Materials with the Predictive Analytics Model
This process enables you to monitor the development of the Slow-Moving Indicator over the selected period. If the predictive model is active, the system calculates a predicted future value, based on your company’s historical data on how the Slow-Moving Indicator will develop over next 3 months (predefined, not modifiable).
The app ‘Slow or Non-Moving Materials’ displays the predicted data as an orange line after activating the following 2 scenarios:
MMSLO_CONSUMPTION_02 (Consumption Data for Slow or Non-Moving Materials)
MMSLO_STOCK_LEVEL_02 (Stock Level Data for Slow or Non-Moving Materials)

Scenario 3: Predict the delivery date of purchase order items
A business user will be interested to know the predicted supplier delivery. Based on multiple parameters, the system can predict a date by which the supplier can deliver the material after activating the scenario SUPLRDELIVPREDICT (Supplier Delivery Prediction).
APP Monitor Purchase Order Items, select one item and click on the ‘Predict Delivery Date’, after several seconds the value is changed from ‘Not Predicted’ to ‘05/17/2024’ which is the predicted delivery date.

Scenario 4: Predict the quantity consumption of purchase contracts
By activating the scenario QTY_CONTRACT_CNSMPN (Quantity Contract Consumption), we can predict the quantity consumption of purchase contracts in APP Quantity Contract Consumption.
Select the Trend then we can see the orange line representing the predictive consumption.

Scenario 5: Predict Delivery Processing Delay
This APP ‘Predicted Delivery Delay’ allows you to identify potential delays for open sales orders regarding the predicted delay of the planned delivery to the customer by activating the following 2 scenarios:
PRDTDDELIVCRTNDELAY (Delivery Creation Delay)
PRDTDDELIVPROCGDELAY (Delivery Processing Delay)

Scenario 6: Predictive Scenario for Project Cost Forecasting
By activating the Predictive Scenario for Project Cost Forecasting ‘PREDICT_PROJECT_COST’ , we can achieve less budget overruns and better project investment decisions based on more realistic estimations and reduce the effort for project cost planning and forecasting while improving accuracy as shown in the APP Monitor Projects.

Scenario 7: Predict Sales Volume
The APP ‘Sales Performance – Predictions’ gives sales manager more insights by providing the predicted sales volume by the end of the month and next month after activating the scenario SALESVOLUME001 (Sales Performance - Prediction).

Scenario 8: Predict quotation conversion rates and net value of converted quotations
APP Quotation Conversion Rates - Valid/Not Completed can help predict quotation conversion rates and net value of converted quotations in the list of quotations by activating scenario SLSQTANPREDICTION (Sales Quotation Conversion Rate).

Steps to activate the predictive analytics model
You enable the above predictive functionality by using an active version of the default model in the corresponding predictive scenario. Let’s take the intelligent scenario MATERIAL_OVERDUE_SIT (Stock in Transit Material Overdue) as an example.
To do so, you create versions by training the model with different sets of data using the Intelligent Scenario Management APP ‘Intelligent Scenario Management’.
After extend the intelligent scenario MM_IM_VDM_STOCK, select line ‘DEFAULT1’ and click ‘Train’
For performance and business reasons, and to ensure you receive good quality data to train the model of your training data, it is important that you focus on filtered data set that makes sense from a business point of view, and which does not receive too many records at once. We recommend that you only set filters for the areas/fields for which you are responsible.
The status of the model is ‘Scheduled’
We can see it is in ‘Training’ status
Come back and check the status is ‘Ready’ and the ‘Activate’ button is back.
After clicking on the ‘Activate’ button
Then the status become ‘Active’ and now we can review the predictive delivery date if it is fine tuned.
