Course Description
SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is a powerful, cloud-based supply chain planning solution designed to help organizations align demand, supply, inventory, and financial plans in real time. SAP IBP Training provides professionals with the knowledge and hands-on skills required to plan, simulate, and optimize complex supply chain processes using advanced analytics and integrated data models.
The training begins with an introduction to SAP IBP architecture, core components, and user interfaces, including the web UI and Excel add-in. Learners gain a strong foundation in how SAP IBP supports end-to-end planning by integrating multiple planning functions into a single, unified platform. Key modules covered in the training include demand planning, supply planning, inventory optimization, sales and operations planning (S&OP), and response and supply management.
A major focus of SAP IBP training is on real-time, scenario-based planning. Participants learn how to create forecasts, run simulations, evaluate constraints, and make data-driven decisions using key figures, planning operators, and analytics dashboards. The course also covers inventory strategies such as safety stock optimization and multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO), helping businesses balance service levels and costs effectively.
In addition, SAP IBP training introduces data integration, configuration concepts, and basic administration tasks, enabling learners to understand how planning models are built and maintained. By the end of the training, participants are equipped to support modern, agile supply chains, improve cross-functional collaboration, and contribute to smarter, faster planning decisions across the enterprise.
