Business Challenges & Our Approach
Ferrarelle needed a reliable integration platform to eliminate manual data transfers between SAP S/4HANA and SAP IBP while improving planning accuracy and operational visibility across the supply chain.
Key challenges included:
✓ Manual movement of planning data
✓ Limited real-time visibility
✓ Inconsistent master and transactional data
✓ Delayed demand planning
✓ Need for secure cloud integration
Datametron implemented SAP Cloud Integration for Data Services (CI-DS) to automate the movement of master and transactional data between SAP S/4HANA and SAP IBP. The solution included data mapping, transformation logic, scheduled integration jobs, and secure data exchange to support end-to-end planning processes.
Implementation included:
✓ SAP CI-DS implementation
✓ Data mapping & transformation
✓ Master data replication
✓ Transactional data synchronization
✓ Scheduled integration jobs
✓ Integration monitoring
✓ Secure cloud connectivity
Discovery
Analyze planning workflows, integration points, and business data requirements between SAP S/4HANA and SAP IBP.
Integration Design
Define CI-DS data flows, transformation rules, replication schedules, and secure communication between systems.
Implementation
Develop and configure CI-DS jobs, automate master and transactional data synchronization, and validate end-to-end integration scenarios.
Deployment
Deploy integration jobs, monitor production workloads, optimize performance, and provide post-go-live support for continuous operations.
Impact
Real-Time Planning Data
Automated synchronization of master and transactional data between SAP S/4HANA and SAP IBP improved planning visibility across the business.
