Batch managed IBP supply planning

[former_member574207]

Dear experts,

could anybody give me a bit of light regarding Batch managed IBP supply planning?

Is it possible at this moment to plan in batches in IBP?

Would be Supply and Response module required or could be just with S&OP module?

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

IBP support batch managed supply planning with shelf life plannint functionalty.

The time-series-based shelf life planning heuristic takes the shelf life of products into account when creating an infinite demand and supply plan with no shortages.

The shelf life planning heuristic is similar to the time-series-based supply planning heuristic (type: infinite with no shortages). It follows the same planning philosophy, which is to balance insufficient supply with negative projected stock for the location products in question. It doesn't support all the features and key figures available with the other heuristics, or any of the time-series-based supply planning optimizer-only features.

Supply on a batch ID level, including batch IDs and batch numbers. Quantities of batches with the same remaining shelf life are aggregated (per planning period). There is no pegging between batches and customer or net demands.

If you want to use batch level shelf life and pegging, use the shelf life visibility feature.

For more details check the SAP documentation.

As of today, batches and shelf life is not supported by order-based planning, it is on the long term directional roadmap.

Dear Irmhild,

Is there any estimate when the Shelf life functionality will be available with Order based in IBP ?

Thanks,

Hi Lingaiah,

Thank you. Do you know if batch managed planning is also possible with order-based planning of Supply and Response? Or is the possibility you mention above the only one?

Thanks
