• Key Concepts: 
  Calculation Graphs are a component of the SAP IBP Configuration module. They are used to define the logic of calculations and the sequence in which they are executed. Calculation Graphs are composed of nodes, which represent individual calculations, and edges, which represent the flow of data between nodes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Calculation Graphs can be used to define the logic of calculations for a variety of purposes, such as forecasting, inventory optimization, and demand planning. To create a Calculation Graph, users must first define the nodes and edges that make up the graph. Once the graph is defined, users can then configure the individual calculations that will be executed by each node. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Calculation Graph, it is important to consider the order in which calculations will be executed. This will ensure that all necessary data is available for each calculation and that calculations are executed in an efficient manner. Additionally, it is important to consider how changes to one calculation may affect other calculations in the graph.
