Overall Satisfaction with SAP Integrated Business Planning

I am an internal consultant responsible for IBP Demand Planning and IBP Supply Planning. I have been implementing IBP for 6 years. We are deployed globally

Pros

  • Excel add in integration with software allows users to ramp up quickly
  • Webinars and knowledge sharing is exceptional with plethora of information
  • Ability to connect well with Demand and Supply as well as financials to allow a large context of information for the user

Cons

  • Cloud based controls by SAP is confusing as sometimes performance issues can only be controlled by SAP
  • Some functionality is not clearly understood by consultants and myself have to dig in to find the issue
  • Moved from 15 Demand Planning Areas in APO to one planning area globally in IBP
  • Supply and Demand Planning in one planning area in IBP compared to at least two in APO
Its a tool that can be used multiple ways web based and excel based depending on what the user is comfortable with and what they want to take advantage of
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
