SAP Integrated Business Planning is one of the best supply chain planning tool in the market. SAP IBP product development team adding more features to application across the modules. In this blog, I will cover the most important features from the IBP 2002 release updates.
Release of SAP Integrated Business Planning 2002 currently planned for January 29, 2020.
This is the current state of planning and may be changed by SAP at any time.”
Introducing the new Intelligent Visibility app with IBP2002. This app allows the supply chain analyst to view the supply chain as a network with the exceptions that impact performance.
Supply chain analysts can use Intelligent Visibility to visualize the relationships between locations and where disruptions will have an impact to performance. The analyst can review the performance metrics and impacts of the disruptions and navigate into other areas of Integrated Business Planning to take action towards resolution.
You can now navigate to the Web-Based Planning app from the Monitor Custom Alerts allowing the alert to be solved by changing data.
The new app provides an overview around the logins via the IBP Excel add-in and provides detailed information about the IBP Excel add-in a version that was used, the user name and contact details, and the number of logins in that specific week.
This app is designed to be used by the administrator. Using this app, the administrator can send an email to the user who is using an old IBP Excel Add In version.
A new Copy Operator (Advanced) is introduced with IBP 2002 and will replace the existing copy
and disaggregation operators in a non-disruptive way over the next releases.
The new copy operator offers all features of the two existing operators plus some additional options.
You can now use calendars in forecast consumption profiles to specify the planning periods in
which you don’t expect sales orders and forecasts, that is, the periods in which no forecast
consumption would happen.
The forecast consumption range (defined in the forecast consumption mode) is extended by the number of non-working periods falling inside the range.
To set up forecast consumption calendars, you must create a calendar, a calendar attribute
containing the ID of your calendar, and a master data type for the forecast consumption calendar.
Include the calendar attribute in the forecast consumption master data type and then assign this master data type and calendar attribute to a forecast consumption profile in the Forecast
Consumption Calendar Assignment section of the Forecast Consumption Profiles app.
Planning calendars Fiori App introduced as part of the 1911 version but in this release, additional features added.
The Fiori App “Planning Calendars” is in the business catalog SAP_IBP_BC_PLAN_BASICS_PC
“Planning Basics”, which is in all business roles.
Use rolling aggregation to aggregate key figures across several time periods, for a specified time
window. Instead of requesting L-code to create such an aggregation, you can use the
IBP_RAGGR function to configure rolling aggregation in one step.
Use period shift to shift key figure values by time periods. Use a constant to define the number of periods by which you want to shift the input key figure.
The number has to be either a positive integer (you shift into the future) or a negative integer (you shift into the past).

Introduction of the New Copy Operator

The new copy operator offers all features of the two existing operators plus some additional options.
- You can copy values from source to target key figures within one planning area or between two planning areas.
- You can copy multiple key figure pairs on different copy levels.
- Source key figure values are aggregated if required.
- Target key figure values are disaggregated if required.
- Missing planning objects and missing time period entries can be created.
- Target key figure values can be initialized.
- Processing can be spilt into packages to limit memory consumption and the risk of locking issues.
