What differentiates SAP Integrated Business Planning from other similar products?

When we switched from SAP ERP to S4 HANA, ePPDS functionality was added to it. We use SAP products including SAP ERP, SAP SCM, SAP TM, etc. Because we are currently going to launch SCM solution with IBP, this product was selected. Utilizing the product offerings from the same vendors makes more sense than fiddling with numerous legacy integrations.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We use IBP for demand planning solutions. We carry out demand planning in IBP with the help of some important limitations for monthly forecasts and submit the predicted outcome to the S4 system as independent requirements. For planned order creation within the planning horizon for procurement/production execution, MRP takes these independent requirements into account.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is presently not feasible to perform jobs from Excel views when using scenarios. Predetermined KPIs that track supply chain performance may be advantageous.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The future planning tool from SAP is called SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP), and it goes without saying that the company plans to stop supporting its SCM APO module and combine its features into SAP IBP and the S4 ePPDS solution. The planning function is now functioning well and producing a basic result for MRP requirements based on a simplified key constraint. However, future enhancements are already planned in order to obtain a more sophisticated result.
