# Sales and operations planning to supply

Synthetic business case

Use an S&OP cycle to connect demand, supply, inventory, capacity and customer commitments for exception coordination.

## Business question

When demand rises, how should inventory targets, supply capacity and customer commitments be balanced?

## Who it is for

S&OP, supply-chain coordination and sales planning teams

## Business objects

- Demand forecasts
- Supply plans
- Inventory targets
- Capacity constraints
- Customer commitments

## Try the workflow

1. Inspect linked business records — Select sample SOP-202606 and inspect demand forecasts, supply plans, inventory targets and their linked records.
2. Analyze risk and source evidence — Analyze demand changes, shortages and capacity conflicts against customer commitments and exception-approval evidence.
3. Edit source data and recalculate — Edit the demand-forecast source record and analyze again to compare demand/supply response proposals.
4. Review and track the current response — Review supply/demand trade-offs, progress approvals and tasks as guided, and inspect plan status and coordination records.

## Adapt to your business

- Align planning cycles, material locations and customer commitments.
- Have sales and supply owners agree on priorities, inventory targets and exception rules.
- Use existing enterprise roles and resource permissions. This package is a synthetic business example; live SAP connections and updates require separate integration and validation.
