The Planner Workspaces app in SAP IBP is a flexible tool for creating integrated dashboards. Its core capabilities revolve around composing a workspace with various analytical and planning components. It directly supports adding planning views that are based on templates, which planners save as "favorites" in the SAP IBP, add-in for Microsoft Excel. Furthermore, a key integration feature is the ability to embed "analytic stories" from SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) as a workspace component, allowing for a combination of operational planning data and strategic analytics in a single view.

A. It supports simulating the effect of the changes: While simulation is possible within a planning view component inside a workspace, it is a function of the component, not a defining capability of the workspace app itself, which is primarily for composition and visualization.

D. It supports sharing with other users or user groups: Although sharing is a supported and important function, it is a general collaboration feature. Options B and C are more specific to the unique content integration capabilities that define the purpose of the Planner Workspaces app.

1. SAP IBP Help Portal

"Planner Workspaces": This document outlines the main features. It explicitly states

"Add components to your workspace

for example

analytics charts

planning views

and custom alerts." This supports the general concept of composing a workspace.

2. SAP IBP Help Portal

"Planner Workspaces"

section "Components in a Workspace": This section details the types of components.

For option C

it states under "Analytics": "You can embed stories from SAP Analytics Cloud in your workspace."

For option B

it states under "Planning Views": "The planning views that you can add to your workspace are based on the planning view templates that are available for your user." These templates are created and saved as favorites in the Excel add-in.

3. SAP IBP Help Portal

"Working with Planning Views in Planner Workspaces": This page confirms that simulation is possible within the planning view component ("You can run simulations on the data in your planning view. To do this

you can use the Simulate button...")

justifying why option A is a feature

but a feature of a component rather than the workspace itself.

4. SAP IBP Help Portal

"Sharing Workspaces": This page details the sharing functionality

confirming its existence (supporting the analysis for option D) but framing it as a collaborative action on a completed workspace

distinct from the core composition capabilities.
