    Introduction to Enterprise Planning

    As an answer to the fast-paced and complex business landscape,  Extended Planning and Analysis (xP&A) emerged as a new paradigm to bring increased agility and visibility to the planning processes across the organization. xP&A eliminates the traditional barriers between finance and operations, and connects strategic, financial, and operational plans in real time. For more information about xP&A and SAP's pre-built Business Content, please visit the xP&A Business Content Community Page.

    SAP Analytics Cloud for planning enables Extended Planning and Analysis (xP&A), allowing you to crowdsource plans across your business, create accurate forecasts and drive better business outcomes. Achieve agile planning and analysis with a single enterprise solution!

    Predictive Planning

    SAP Analytics Cloud Predictive Planning provides the ability to automate data-driven enterprise planning with time series forecasting, through a tight integration. In practice, predictive scenarios can consume planning models as a data source. They can use not only the actuals but also the semantic richness of the concepts that are built in the planning model. The predictive models are “white boxes” with full transparency. Easy to understand predictive insights together with quality indicators are accessible in the model debriefing. Additionally, SAP Analytics Cloud Predictive Planning should be understood as part of a bigger, end-to-end planning process where the predictive forecasts are reported in stories and financial planners add their business judgment to revise them.
