SAP reference for the Demand Planning workflow¶
This page complements the Demand Planning workflow. The closest concept is SAP IBP Process Management, with processes, steps, owners, and event-linked application jobs.
| OpsFactor | Nearby SAP IBP concept | Caution |
|---|---|---|
| workflow | planning process/cycle | Scope and states are not identical |
| stage | process step/phase | Translate order, owners, and advancement condition |
| stage key figures | data/actions exposed to the planner | SAP may govern this through planning view and authorization |
| automatic execution | application job template at step start/end | Do not confuse a job with human approval |
An ID such as DP-SOP-MONTHLY and stages 01-STATISTICAL,
02-COLLABORATION, and 03-RELEASE are reproducible. Do not use only the
current status of an SAP process instance as the OpsFactor workflow definition.
The analogy does not exist in basic S/4HANA and may also be implemented through another workflow product. A native integration must separate process definition, instances, and execution history.
Nearby SAP transactions or apps¶
There is no single S/4HANA transaction. Use SAP IBP Process Management and Application Jobs apps to reconcile stages, owners, automation, and logs.
