Characteristics-Based Planning with Shelf Life in SAP IBP | 2602 Release Highlight & Demo

Learn how SAP IBP 2602 streamlines complex inventory decisions with characteristics-based planning (CBP) and shelf life, so planners can meet compliance requirements while protecting product quality and reducing waste from expired stock. In this highlight tour, you’ll see a real planning scenario where demand requires specific CBP attributes (market qualification and potency) plus a minimum remaining shelf life. Instead of running separate checks and making risky trade-offs, the planning run evaluates all constraints at once, automatically selecting suitable inventory and creating the right supply to fulfill demand. 🧬 Plan with CBP attributes + shelf life together — Link demand to a specific attribute combination (for example, market qualification and potency) with a required minimum remaining shelf life. 📦 Automatically identify suitable batches — The system considers batch qualification and remaining shelf life to select inventory that meets both compliance and quality needs. ⚙️ One run, all constraints — A single supply planning run evaluates constraints simultaneously and can trigger new compliant supply (for example, stock transfer requisitions and planned orders) with shelf-life parameters applied.
