• Key Concepts: 
  Segment priority is a feature of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) that allows users to prioritize the order in which segments are processed. This feature is useful for ensuring that the most important segments are processed first, allowing for more accurate and efficient planning. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use segment priority, users must first define the segments they wish to prioritize. This can be done by assigning a numerical value to each segment, with higher numbers indicating higher priority. Once the segments have been assigned a priority, the system will process them in order of highest to lowest priority. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning priorities to segments, it is important to consider the importance of each segment and how it affects the overall planning process. For example, if one segment is more important than another, it should be given a higher priority. Additionally, it is important to consider how long each segment will take to process and adjust the priorities accordingly.
