Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I mostly use SAP Integrated Business Planning to build a better relationship with my suppliers and also this helps me to ensure that we have an authentic supply of products and services on a regular basis and during the time of crisis. IBP also helps our team to build a transaction of information about the products, such as our regular demand forecasts and current inventory data. This would help us to work together and improve the efficiency of our supply chain.
