SAP Business Network Planning Collaboration is a web-based cloud service for coordinating planning between suppliers and manufacturers. Its stated scope includes forecasting, capacity planning and manufacturing visibility. The listed Planning Collaboration plan provides one production tenant and one test tenant of SAP Business Network. Demand planning and supplier management are supported. Logistics functions include dock door scheduling, carrier self-service, appointment requests and driver check-in, with both supported load types listed. SAP also describes a separate Business Network Freight Collaboration plan billed in annual blocks of 10,000 documents, with contracts lasting one to five years. Planning Collaboration is a paid service with pricing available on request and no free plan. It is deployed in the cloud and available through the web. SAP was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Walldorf, Germany.

SAP Business Network Planning Collaboration brings supplier planning and logistics coordination into a web-based cloud service. Buyers should request pricing and review the separate Freight Collaboration terms if document-based billing matters.

It suits organizations coordinating supplier planning, demand, manufacturing visibility and freight activities through a cloud service. Teams needing scheduling, carrier self-service or driver check-in may also consider it.
