Key Differences in Functionality

  • Response Management: Utilizes the order-based data model (Planning Area SAP7) for handling complex supply chain responses effectively.
  • Total Planning Points: Defined by the cumulative number of stored key figure values, taking into account various planning parameters.
  • Total Object Points: Includes all objects relevant to order management and planning scenarios.
  • Data Models: The standard IBP uses the time-based data model, whereas the upgrade supports both time-based and order-based data models.
  • Planning Areas: Both variants include standard models (e.g., SAP1, SAP2) and the Unified Planning Area (SAPIBP1). The upgrade also adds support for the order-based model SAP7.
  • Development Limitation: Access to both variants is restricted to Test and Demo environments only, not intended for Development purposes.
