Order-Based Planning
Order-based planning (OBP) helps you to create a supply plan using operational data and react to short-term changes.
This approach enables supply planning from an operational perspective: It uses detailed data from external systems, and takes into account, for example, planned
orders, production orders, sales orders, and purchase orders. Compared to the time-series-based planning functions of SAP Integrated Business Planning for
Supply Chain (SAP IBP), the order-based approach takes a shorter-term view.
You can use the resulting supply plan, for example, to adapt your stock levels as required, and to quickly respond to changes that might arise at short notice.
Note
Since the planning runs and the apps for order-based planning consider all dependencies within the supply chain, they do not take any permission filters into
account.
Order-based planning supports make-to-stock production strategies. This means that sales orders for location products to which strategy group 10 or 40 is
assigned in SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA can be adequately planned, while sales orders for location products to which make-to-order production strategies
are assigned can’t. The latter are therefore not integrated to SAP IBP.
Order-Based Planning Process

With the order-based planning functions, you can take care of the entire planning process as follows:
Setting Up and Refining Plans
This includes the following functions:
The basic settings required to configure order-based planning, including the integration with exernal systems. For more information, see Basic Settings.
Note
As of release 2111, OBP planning areas can be set up based on two configuration models. If you want to get familiar with the basic settings adapted to the
newer configuration model, which is based on flexible master data, see Basic Settings. For more information about the available planning area configuration
models, see Selecting Your Master Data Configuration Model.
The core functions of order-based planning come with the different OBP planning runs. You run them in different phases of the planning process. For more
information, see OBP Planning Runs.
Functions to review and refine plans that are shared by the different planning processes. For more information, see Reviewing and Refining Plans.
Planning Processes
The following planning processes are supported by order-based planning:
With demand-driven replenishment, you can generate supply elements as part of the DDMRP process in SAP IBP. For more information, see Demand-
Driven Replenishment.
You can create a supply and allocations plan and react to suppy and demand changes in response management. For more information, see Response
Management.
You can do detailed planning and scheduling in an SAP S/4HANA system that is connected to your SAP IBP system with production planning integration.
For more information, see Production Planning Integration.
You can distribute available supply to demand with deployment planning. For more information, see Deployment Planning.

Selecting Your Master Data Configuration Model

To set up order-based planning (OBP) for SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain (SAP IBP), you first need to configure an OBP planning area. As a
part of the process, you must create a master data model, and specify important attributes like key figures and time periods.
The master data model you select greatly influences what the next steps of your configuration will be. Therefore, the documentation we provide is structured
according to this model choice.
As of release 2111 you can select between a model based on external master data and one based on flexible master data. But no matter which configuration model
you choose, OBP planning runs and applications offer mostly the same features and benefits.

Planning areas are only used to expose OBP data toward SAP IBP through OBP applications run based on a planning area, similarly to all other SAP IBP

To understand how to configure OBP based on external master data, you can find a detailed documentation at Setting Up Order-Based Planning Based on External
Master Data.
To familiarize yourself with OBP based on flexible master data, which has been new in release 2111 of SAP IBP, start by reading Getting Started Using Order-
Based Planning with Flexible Master Data and Prerequisites to Start Using Order-Based Planning with Flexible Master Data.
