• Key Concepts: 
  Launch dimension is a feature of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) that allows users to create and manage multiple versions of a plan. It enables users to compare different versions of the same plan and make changes to the plan without affecting the original version. The launch dimension also allows users to store different versions of the same plan in different locations, making it easier to access and manage them. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the launch dimension, users must first create a new version of the plan. This can be done by selecting the “Create New Version” option from the IBP menu. Once the new version is created, users can make changes to it without affecting the original version. The changes can then be saved in a different location, allowing users to access and manage multiple versions of the same plan. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new version of a plan, it is important to give it a descriptive name so that it can be easily identified later on. Additionally, users should always save their changes in a different location than the original version so that they can easily access and manage multiple versions of the same plan.
