• Key Concepts: 
  Operational supply planning is a component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) suite. It is part of the Integrated Business Planning (IBP) module and is used to plan and manage the supply chain in real-time. It helps to optimize inventory levels, reduce costs, and improve customer service. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Operational supply planning can be used to create a demand plan, which is a forecast of customer demand for a product or service. This demand plan can then be used to create a supply plan, which is a plan for how much of the product or service needs to be produced or purchased in order to meet customer demand. The supply plan can then be used to create an inventory plan, which is a plan for how much inventory should be kept on hand in order to meet customer demand. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a demand plan, it is important to consider factors such as seasonality, customer preferences, and market trends. When creating a supply plan, it is important to consider factors such as production capacity, lead times, and supplier reliability. When creating an inventory plan, it is important to consider factors such as safety stock levels and reorder points.
