• Key Concepts: 
  Direct assignment is a feature of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) that allows users to assign a specific demand or supply to a particular source or target. This feature enables users to create a more accurate and detailed plan for their supply chain. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use direct assignment, users must first create a demand or supply plan in IBP. Once the plan is created, users can assign specific demands or supplies to particular sources or targets. This can be done by selecting the “Direct Assignment” option from the IBP menu. From there, users can select the demand or supply they wish to assign and then select the source or target they wish to assign it to. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using direct assignment, it is important to remember that only one demand or supply can be assigned to each source or target. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the demand or supply being assigned is compatible with the source or target it is being assigned to.
