SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) Job Scheduler Integration
Integrate SAP IBP supply chain management processes
Manage IBP jobs within your enterprise processes
Apply advanced scheduling functionality to IBP jobs
Coordinate your IBP jobs with your SAP ERP scheduling activities
Improve Visibility & Control
SAP IBP is a cloud-based supply chain management (SCM) software that helps organizations streamline sales and operations planning (S&OP) and analytics. The application provides job templates to define steps for a process. It has embedded scheduling capabilities that provide basic functionality and can only manage scheduled jobs, workflows, and SAP processes within IBP.
Tidal’s integration provides pre-populated IBP job templates. Simply search for and select the templates, then apply more advanced scheduling functionality to IBP tasks— use variables, define dependencies, trigger actions based on events, and more.
Your IBP jobs are centrally managed within your enterprise processes and you get full visibility and control of these activities:
- Retrieve IBP job templates
- Schedule IBP job templates
- Get IBP job run status – did it succeed or fail
- Get IBP job run info – what happened when the job was running
- Cancel IBP jobs

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the role of a job scheduler in SAP IBP?
A job scheduler in SAP IBP automates and orchestrates the execution of planning processes, data loads, and system tasks. It helps schedule and manage job timing, frequency, and dependencies within the SAP IBP environment.
-
Does Tidal work with SAP IBP job scheduler’s ABAP language?
Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) is SAP’s high-level programming language for use across the SAP environment. When you use Tidal, it will communicate with SAP and your other business applications but it does not use ABAP. You can still use ABAP in the SAP ecosystem, but Tidal does not require it or work in ABAP.
-
Does Tidal work with SAP RFC?
SAP Remote Function Call (RFC) allows communication between different systems or components in the SAP landscape. While RFC still works when you integrate with Tidal, Tidal is its own central control point and dashboard to control SAP and all your other business applications and platforms. Commands executed from Tidal will work in the way RFC does, and you will always be able to use RFC through the SAP platform itself.
-
What happens to my master data when I integrate with Tidal?
Your SAP master data will remain separate and managed within the SAP system. Tidal orchestrates and automates business processes and schedules jobs, integrating with platforms across your enterprise. While Tidal will interact with SAP, it will not directly modify or manipulate the master data stored in SAP.
-
Does Tidal integrate with other SAP systems?
Yes, Tidal also integrates with SAP NetWeaver, SAP Solution Manager, and S/4HANA HCI. In addition, Tidal can integrate with and automate across different SAP modules for total end-to-end process automation.
