IBP Vendor Calendar and Vendor Lead time

[former_member591592]

Hello Experts,

In our S&OP project we have one requirement where in we need to consider vendor delivery lead times and vendor delivery calendar in IBP supply planning (S&OP, Unified Planning Area). this will be specific to each vendor.( we have connection to S4).

does IBP currently support calendars?

is there any way by which we can make system to create receipts only on delivery day maintained in vendor master?

thanks in advance for the information.

Hi Matt,

Vendor lead time can be supported in IBP. Location source master data lead time to consider as a number of periods of the base planning level for receipt key figures. You can integrate S/4HANA material master planned delivery time to IBP location source lead time.

Vendor calendar functionality is not supported by SAP as of 1811 release. I would suggest raising an improvement request to SAP’s Customer Influence Program for IBP.
