In this blog post I collected some useful links for SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain, short SAP IBP. These links might be more useful for someone new to SAP IBP, but even experienced users or consultants might find some of these links interesting.

The official name of the solution is “SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain” (until 2019 it was called “SAP Integrated Business Planning”). SAP approved abbreviations are “SAP IBP” and “SAP IBP for Supply Chain”.
