Enable real-time collaboration with external suppliers in timeseries supply planning
The most actionable plan is the one that is agreed upon by all entities involved. The ability of a supplier to meet requirements on time is a key component. Our innovative SAP IBP integration uses SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) to bring supplier confirmations into timeseries based supply planning as a clean core solution . It adds tangible impact and value to tactical supply planning in SAP IBP and fosters collaborative success.
Overview
Plan with supplier alignment
Bring all constraints and capabilities in your supply planning into full view with real-time supplier commits delivered through SAP BTP Technologies. Our SaaS solution could be the missing link that ties it all together with real, feasible, end-to-end planning of your requirements.
Plan feasible scenarios
Visibility and collaboration with actual supplier constraints open out better scenario planning possibilities. It facilitates timely decision making and real impact in the ability to meet customer demands on time at optimal cost.
Manage upgrades easier
The benefits of SAP BTP clean core design extend to the ability to manage upgrades to the integration and to SAP IBP itself independently and with lesser overhead than with legacy integration.

Features
Access through multiple user interfaces
Suppliers can access and commit to the initial plans generated by SAP IBP by requirements date through desktop or mobile device. This enables ease of securing commitments from external suppliers.
Automated extraction of SAP IBP requirements
This integration extracts external procurement requirements from SAP IBP and feeds the Fiori User Interfaces that suppliers can access and interact with. This process is supported as part of the software-as-a-service offering.
Enable real-time event driven integration
Available as an additional option, event driven architecture through SAP BTP Integration Suite enables a supplier commit to be instantly transferred to SAP IBP as adjusted receipts so that the next timeseries supply planning run can make necessary changes based on firm commitments by the supplier.
