Hi Deepika,

Briefly say.... Integrated Planning is web based integrated in portal.

BI Integrated Planning is the new version of BW-BPS that is delivered as standard with BI 7.0. In contrast to BW-BPS, this solution is completely and tightly integrated into BI system. Instead of wiping out BW-BPS completely and introducing Integrated planning, SAP is allowing both of these tools to co-exist in the current system.

SAP recommends to use Integrated planning for all the new developments. Going forward SAP will be actively enhancing and supporting BI Integrated planning only. So BW-BPS is legacy and future will be BI Integrated planning.

There are lot od differences between BPS and IP; some of them are:

1. IP is a totally web based planning framwrork and user interface.

2. Bex eporting interface is the interface for IP; whereas BPShad planning folder besides web interface.

3. in IPplaning and reporting hapen in same tool, where as in BPS, planning is separate from reporting.

4. Objects in IP are to be built in a web based interface whereas in BPS it is BPS0.

5. Some of the objects that were built in BPS can be reused in IP.

Separate training BW370 is available for BI integrated planning from sap education.

Deepika,

The tcode in RSPLAN which opens a planning modeler in Internet Explorer. We can say it as a web based application. Very similar to Portal. U will find a Wizard which helps u to achieve ur requirement in a planned way.

Plz follow below links for more...

U can find documentation cum examples by SAP in the below documentation link.

My kind suggestion for u is to go for IP training provided by SAP. It will be very useful for u. It's worth 100%.

Assigning points is only way of appreciation in SDN.
