Vendor Managed Inventory in IBP

[former_member591118]

Will IBP support Vendor Managed Inventory scenario? I have seen few threads around TLB not being on roadmap but what about VMI scenario?

Hi Manasa,

good questions!

VMI is part of the future direction for SAP IBP (slide #22 of roadmap Section: Supply chain control tower).

TLB is as well on the future direction for SAP IBP, working title is "Load Consolidation". This you can find on slide #42 of roadmap Section: SAP Integrated Business Planning for response and supply).

Access the roadmaps here:
https://www.sap.com/products/roadmaps.html

run a search for "integrated" & select SAP IBP

kind regards

Michael

Hi Michael,

I have browsed through the roadmaps and release notes but haven't come across more detailed information on TLB/Load consolidation, is there a release note with more information regarding functionality or do you know when this will be released?

Hi there,

Any update on the topic? Is Load Consolidation available already?

Another follow up question: Is there a reason why this solution is listed under Control Tower. My understanding is all supplier integration scenarios with Ariba are listed under CT. Can you confirm?

Michael,

Thanks much for a quick response. Is there a tentative date for these solutions to be available?
