Hello Folks,
I have a quick questions,
1) Do i need HANA DB to run SAP IBP
2) Is is a cloud based solution.
3) if its a cloud based solution, do i need seperate cloud licence.
Kindly through some light on it.
Regards
Vivek
Hello Vivek
Here are the answers below:
1. You don't need HANA DB to run IBP
2. IBP is currently only available on Cloud
3. You don't need separate cloud license. However you only cloud subscription for the SAP IBP.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hey Yeu Sheng,
I had the same impression. But i am not able to find any solid proof -
Everywhere its written that- "SAP IBP- powered by hana " thats Ok, but I cannot find SAP HANA DB in the prerequisite.
So what I am looking is a Official Document where is says - prerequisite of SAP IBP is SAP hana.
Hope you got my point
Regards,
Vivek
Hi Vivek,
To simplifiy it, SAP IBP is only available on Cloud version. So you actually do not need anything. SAP will take care of DB, Application, HCI etc.
The old release of S&OP 3.0 is also available on on-premise version. For that you do need HANA DB. Since it is pure HANA application, only HANA DB is supported.

Hello Rinju,
Got it, but in that case how will be data flow in and out of IBP. Meaning can i connect my existing BW data to IBP and save the data back from IBP to BW , or IBP has a seperate DB , in that case the data is redundant and will require data loadoing again into cloud , like master data and stuff.
Hi Vivek
as the IBP HANA Cloud is a separate system , you can NOT use your BW data model
That means, you build a new data model in IBP.
But within IBP the several applications like IBP for Demand and IBP for SOP can share the same data model. If you compare with APO, you needed separate models for DP and for SNP (DP was in timeseries LiveCache and SNP in Order LiveCache)
Now you can run e.g. strategical planning and supply planning in one model, both working either at the same granularity / planning level or at different levels.
Second, as stated already above, you can interface all kind of source systems via HCI = Hana Cloud Integration. The license is included in the cloud contract (if that has not changed meanwhile, I am not from Sales). You connect SAP-systems like ECC, BW or APO and directly read from an Infocube for example, or you can do a direct read on tables or join several different tables.
And surely you can interface flatfiles. HCI evolved very much the last months ad became pretty powerful
There is an implementation guide just for HCI that provides all details you need
Enjoy
