Smart SAP Assistant

• Key Concepts: 
  Indirect assignment is a feature of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) that allows users to assign a single demand or supply item to multiple locations. This feature is useful for companies that have multiple warehouses or distribution centers and need to manage their inventory across multiple locations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use indirect assignment, users must first create a demand or supply item in IBP. Then, they can assign the item to multiple locations by selecting the “indirect assignment” option in the item’s settings. This will allow the item to be assigned to multiple locations at once, instead of having to assign it individually to each location. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using indirect assignment, it is important to ensure that all of the locations that the item is assigned to have the same inventory levels. This will help ensure that the item is available in all of the locations and that there are no discrepancies between them.
