EBS was better in that aspect. This is my opinion. SAP had a large market share in the traditional ERP space. Part of this was because once it was implemented it work very well and customizations were bolt-on functionality. With Cloud Apps/Fusion, Oracle wants to make sure that the base code stays at a level that they have complete control over. This is to ensure peak performance and consistency of the applications between environments. This also appears to be a similar approach to that of SAP. They are still all for the ease of creating customizations on top of their base code to enhance and meet their customer specific requirements. They have just become more protective of their core functionalities and private packages/tables/workflows. Larry Ellison said during on of his keynote's at OOW 2018 (paraphrased), "Customizations are good and we still want you to create them and use them as needed, we just do not want you changing our core code and functionality. But please, build on top of that code." So, the limitations are there in their efforts to standardize and streamline their base code in order to allow for additional enhancements and functionality like their autonomous functions in the future.

SAP IBP excels at managing the fluid data needed to perform dynamic inventory optimization, demand planning and supply planning in an always changing supply chain environment. Previous planning tools were designed to fulfill more of a measurement role, providing static data about how many items one might have in stock or need in the future, rather than looking at those quantities as a dynamic number within the flow of materials. https://www.zdnet.com/video/zdnet-insight-analysis-and-the-best-reporting-in-the-b2b-technology-space/?TRE-04-10aaa6g Answered: Bunh tha Chau on December 25, 2020 [Your answer](/discussions/i-am-still-looking-for-more-details-on-ibp-roles-and-resposbility-infomration/comments/new?remote=true) 0 Question on: SAP Integrated Business Planning [How you can handle Deployment Planning in IBP as it was possible in earlier APO](/discussions/15537-how-you-can-handle-deployment-planning-in-ibp-as-it-was-possible-in-earlier-apo) Deployment of Stock from factory to distribution centers.
