IBP OBP Sales order confirmation and integration to S/4HANA

[ydyulgerov]

Hello everyone,

Currently, I am generating a supply plan in IBP OBP. Initially, I have couple of sales orders which after the supply run with finite heuristic are confirmed fully and on time. I also tested the simulation of sales order confirmation which was also successful. However, when I trigger the outbound integration application job in IBP I can only integration planned orders and purchase requisitions to S/4HANA and no sales order confirmations are visible.

After I trigger this integration, my sales orders status in IBP is returned back to 'requested', so I have to confirm them again. I tried also to save my confirmation results in a Scenario and then copy them to Baseline, but this is not possible.

In IBP Location Product MD I have maintained the profiles for forecast consumption, product allocation and Source of Supply. In S/4 I have maintained the same profiles via tr. code /IBP/ECC_MDSET .

So any ideas about the integration of sales order confirmations are more than welcome. Thank you in advance.

BR,
Julian

Hello Julian,

Thanks for posting this and sharing your experience about Sales Order confirmation from IBP!

Some questions from my side, have you already tried doing the same using RTI? Is it even working also using RTI?

I'm in the middle of testing this as well for a client and so far no luck. Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂

Hello Rodrigo,

As far as I know, currently the only way to send supply planning results from IBP OBP to S/4 is via application job for outbound integration in IBP itself. The RTI is used only for the other way round - to transfer data from S/4 to IBP OBP.
I hope this helps you. If I haven't get your question right, please feel free to give a bit more information regarding your use case.

BR,
Julian
