IBP is an exceptional tool. The seamless bridging of Supply and Demand with overlayed analytics with a modern feel has been extremely elevating for our business processes. There is so much flexibility within the planning area configuration and data integration that we are utilizing IBP to solve business functions outside of the core purpose of IBP. This has added great value to the investment we have made in the product.

SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain Likes & Dislikes

Like

The flexibility of the product. Planning area configuration capabilities, data integration capabilities, IBP Excel. Planner workspaces, advanced analytics, and analytic stories.

Like

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

Like

Planning Engine Performance, IBP Solution perfectly covered by necessary Modules to create best integration towards no touch Planning Vision delivering best combination of cost, cash and service.

Dislike

We are highly IBP Excel based with interest in moving to planner workspaces but it does not compute to the level of data we can in excel. The basic formula capabilities are very limited. Global configuration parameters to increase data processing capabilities would be great for us. Purging key figure data - It would be nice to be able to use the operator to purge by specific key figures versus by planning level.

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

User Interface, Capacity Management of Optimization Engine & Multiple Modules Licensing as a set can be opportunites.
