“A powerful and scalable planning platform - IBP delivers real value when embedded in a strong end-to-end operating model and tightly integrated with execution.”

5.0
May 5, 2026
As early adopter with more than 10 years of usage, we have seen IBP evolve into a core component of our global planning landscape. Today it's fully deployed worldwide across our S&OP processes, with string capabilities in Demand Planning and increasing relevance in response and execution-oriented processes. IBP is firmly embedded in our Plan-to-Fulfill architecture and tightly integrated with S/4, enabling a seamless connection between planning and execution. In the meantime it supports also the integration of planning with suppliers and logistics operation, creaating a truly e2e planning environment.

SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain Likes & Dislikes

Like

What we value most is its ability to connect planning with execution in a consistent and integrated way. Flexibility and scalability to support global deployment. Continuous innovation within the SAP ecosystem.

Like

The best part about using SAP was that it provides coordination and communication on an immediate basis as per partners requirements.

Like

Facilitated integration of mater data between SAP S4HANA and IBP. Integration of the intire S&OP process (master data, portfolio review, demand review, supply review, financial review and use of intuitive charts for presentation to senior management). Ease of access and intuitive navigation, interaction with the tool without difficulties.

Dislike

One area that still requires improvement is the clarity of functional boundaries between IBP and S/4. For certain usecases (e.g. Order Promise) the demarcation is not always sufficiently transparent, which can lead to complexity in design decisions and architecture alignment. In the early stage of our journey we also experienced performance challenges.

Dislike

Unlike other software's it is really difficult to engage updated technologies in the business becomes dependent on SAP because of its limitations or low flexibility to new changes.

Dislike

There was a shortage of qualified and prepared professionals to work with the tool. This demanded a greater investment in internal training and development, which umpacted the initial implementation shedule. When we train a professional, they are recruited by the market.

    SAP IBP provides end-to-end planning capabilities, better scenario modelling, and improved visibility across the supply chain. While implementation and adoption require effort and skilled resources, the platform scales well and delivers value once embedded into planning processes.
