Supply Chain Planning in SAP IBP

SAP Integrated Business Planning is a cloud application for enterprise-wide supply chain planning that consists of different modules. SAP IBP has preconfigured planning areas for the different modules, which run on an integrated technology platform.

SAP IBP Key Features

Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP)

S&OP is an integrated planning process for sales planning that encompasses various areas of the company such as sales, marketing, production, and financial planning. It integrates past, present, and forecast data to create a coordinated production and sales plan.

Demand Planning (DP)

In Demand Planning, future sales volumes are calculated as the basis for inventory, procurement, and production planning. To do this, time series models, regression models, and machine learning are combined to create medium or long-term sales forecasts.

Analysis and visualisation of key figures

The Fiori Launchpad provides various analytical tools and applications that enable data to be analyzed and key figures to be displayed graphically. The supply chain network app can also be used to visualize the structure of the supply chain and its spatial distribution.
