SAP74 Coexistence with SAPIBP1 Planning area

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Can we use a merge of SAP74 planning area with SAPIBP1 planning area to ensure that all functions - Demand planning, supply planning, response planning, inventory optimization - All capabilities exist in 1 planning area? Is this a feasible approach or should we have different planning area for Response planning?

Would there be any capabilities e.g. Master data simulations be restricted if we use SAP74 planning area for other functions like demand planning , S&OP process etc? (given that SAP74 has external master data reference)

Can you please provide on the best approach to model all functions - demand planning, supply planning, response planning etc. in a single unified model.

Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,

Order - based planning in the unified planning area is scheduled to be available on IBP 1802 release. You can find this and other enhancements in the Product Roadmap page: https://www.sap.com/products/roadmaps.products-solutions.html#pdf-asset=f21b5a93-c37c-0010-82c7-eda7...

For now, you have to have a planning area specific for Response Management / Response and Supply.

Best regards,
