SAP IBP, Supply

Key Responsibilities

• Design and configure Flexible Planning Areas (SAP7F) and Order-Based Planning Profiles.
• Implement order-based heuristics and optimizers for supply and deployment planning.
• Set up and manage Real-Time Integration (RTI) with SAP S/4HANA.
• Configure supply planning runs with switchable constraints and allocation creation.
• Develop and maintain master data extensibility and reconciliation processes.
• Execute constrained and unconstrained planning algorithms (heuristics, prioritization, optimization).
• Model and constrain against production, transportation, and storage resources.
• Create short-term deployment runs and operational supply plans.
• Analyse supply usage.
• Integrate SAP IBP with external systems using CPI-DS and RTI.
• Develop simulation scenarios and compare outcomes using Excel and Web-based dashboards.
• Support synchronized planning with SAP S/4HANA for production and detailed scheduling.
