See how SAP IBP 2602 makes planning approvals smarter and simpler by bringing approval tasks directly into the Planner Workspaces app, so you can manage S&OP sign-offs without switching applications.
In this highlight tour, you’ll see how approval workflows can be handled end-to-end inside SAP IBP: business process owners configure the right workbook as the approval context, managers review aggregated KPIs and charts, and approvals move the process forward, all within the planning environment. This helps teams implement dual control more easily and keep monthly S&OP cycles running smoothly.
✅ Approvals inside Planner Workspaces — Approve or reject SAP IBP workflows directly in the planning environment—no need to switch to SAP Build Process Automation.
📊 Right context for the right approver — Configure workbooks to show aggregated data at the level managers need, so decisions are informed and fast.
🔁 Seamless workflow progression — Approval tasks arrive in Planner Workspaces with full business context, completed tasks are tracked, and the process automatically continues to the next step after sign-off.
