Hi,

SAP IBP Demand module one of the best tool in the market to perform demand planning with great capabilities.

Demand planning covers the following functionalities.

Data Cleansing

• Outlier Correction
• Substitute Missing Values
• Promotion Sales Lift Elimination

Advances Statistical Forecasting (Best Forecast Models)

• Constant
• Trend
• Seasonal
• Sporadic
• Regression

Demand Sensing (short term planning in terms of days to weeks)

Integration with POS data

Product Life Cycle Planning

Promotional Planning

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a best-in-class SaaS solution that combines all the analytics functionalities (Planning, Predictive, Business Intelligence and more coming soon such as Governance Risk and Compliance - GRC) in one intuitive user interface, saving time and effort while making better decisions. It has demand forecasting functionality but IBP demand is the best tool for forecasting.
