Which of the following key functions are supported by SAP IBP for sales and operations?

SAP IBP for Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) supports demand, supply, and inventory alignment. Key functions are defined by its modules.

Option A: Allocation planningThis is incorrect. Allocation planning is specific to SAP IBP for Response and Supply (order-based), not the S&OP module, which focuses on time-series planning.

Option B: Simple statistical forecastThis is correct. S&OP includes demand planning with simple statistical forecasts (e.g., moving average, exponential smoothing), a core function, per SAP IBP’s demand documentation.

Option C: Multi-level supply planning heuristicsThis is correct. S&OP supports multi-level supply planning via heuristics (e.g., infinite/finite) to balance supply across the network, a key feature, per SAP IBP’s supply planning guides.

Option D: SAP Product Lifecycle ManagementThis is incorrect. SAP PLM is a separate system, not a function of SAP IBP S&OP, though IBP can integrate with lifecycle data.

Thus, B and C are supported S&OP functions, per SAP IBP’s official scope.
