Planning Calendars - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Planning Calendars are a feature of SAP's Integrated Business Planning (IBP) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) suite. They are used to define the planning periodicity and the planning horizon for the IBP planning process. Planning Calendars are used to define the time periods for which IBP will generate plans and forecasts. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Planning Calendars can be created in the IBP system by navigating to the “Planning Calendar” tab in the IBP application. From there, users can create a new calendar by entering a name and description, as well as selecting a start date and end date for the calendar. Once created, users can then assign this calendar to specific planning areas within IBP. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Planning Calendar, it is important to ensure that the start and end dates are set correctly. This will ensure that all plans and forecasts generated by IBP are accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to note that Planning Calendars can be modified at any time, so users should be sure to check their calendars periodically to ensure they are still valid.
