Supply Planning
Supply Planning in SAP IBP covers the design and operation of unconstrained and constrained supply plans that translate demand signals into feasible production, procurement, and distribution recommendations across a multi-echelon network, using the planning area, key figures, master data, and optimizer/heuristic run engines within SAP IBP cloud and its integration with S/4HANA.

Lessons in this topic
- Configuring and Sequencing Supply Planning Operators (Heuristic vs Optimizer)Learn how supply planning operators (heuristic and optimizer) are configured, sequenced, and run in SAP IBP, including scope selection, run parameters, and how operator choice affects supply plan outcomes and performance.
- Introduction to Supply Planning in SAP IBP: Purpose, Planning Model, and Key FiguresUnderstand why Supply Planning exists in SAP IBP, how it fits into the broader IBP planning model, and what the core key figures and master data represent before configuring or running any supply plan.
- Configuring Supply Planning Master Data, Key Figures, and Time Series for Constrained PlanningLearn how to configure the master data, key figures, and time-series structures required to move from a basic unconstrained supply view to a constrained supply planning setup that respects capacity and sourcing rules.
