What are some of the key capabilities of SAP Integrated Business Planning for demand?

SAP IBP for Demand enhances demand planning with advanced features, per SAP IBP’s demand module documentation.

Option A: Automated, exception-based processingThis is correct. Automated forecasting with exception handling (e.g., alerts for outliers) is a core capability, per SAP IBP’s demand planning features.

Option B: Statistical analysis using the predictive analytics toolsThis is incorrect. Predictive analytics (e.g., machine learning) is available via SAP HANA integration, not a native IBP Demand tool.

Option C: Determination of coefficient of variation (CV)This is correct. CV (variability measure) is calculated in ABC/XYZ segmentation and demand analysis, a standard feature, per SAP IBP’s documentation.

Option D: Classifying demand into zonesThis is incorrect. "Zones" is not a standard demand classification in SAP IBP; ABC/XYZ segmentation is used instead.

Option E: Embedded, on-the-fly demand analyticsThis is correct. Real-time analytics (e.g., in Excel or Planner Workspaces) provide instant demand insights, per SAP IBP’s demand capabilities.

Thus, A, C, and E are key capabilities, per SAP IBP’s official demand planning scope.
