Lima Backbone reads planning data from Infor LN and M3 through ION API gateway, shapes it into SAP Integrated Business Planning’s model, checks it, loads it inside the run window your planning calendar sets, and returns the approved plan to Infor LN and M3 with each write confirmed. The first planning dataset is live in four weeks at a fixed price.
Keeping every key figure complete at the planning level for combinations that exist in one ERP and not another.
The first load is assembled from these objects through ION API gateway. Change capture (BOD publications) keeps the daily volume small afterwards.
| Planning object | Source objects | Destination in SAP Integrated Business Planning |
|---|---|---|
| Items | Item master · item warehouse | Product master data type |
| Bills of material | Product structure BODs | Production source and component ratio |
| Routings | Routing BODs | Resource and production source |
| Stock | Inventory balance BODs | Stock on hand key figure |
| Open purchase orders | Purchase order BODs | Open supply key figures |
| Open sales orders | Sales order BODs | Sales order key figures |
| Production orders | Production order BODs | Product master data type |
| Forecasts | Forecast BODs | Statistical forecast and consensus demand key figures |
| Customers and suppliers | Business partner BODs | Customer and supplier master data types |
| Calendars | Calendar objects | Time profile and planning calendars |
Every check either passes a row or turns it into an exception record with an owner. Nothing is dropped silently.
| Check | Kind | What it catches, with an example |
|---|---|---|
| Every item has a plant and a unit of measure | completeness | an item without a plant cannot be planned; the row is held with its owner |
| Every child finds its parent | referential order | a bill-of-material line whose item has not arrived is held until the item loads |
| Each way of supply has its own structure | consistency | a production version without a routing or a bill is flagged |
| Open quantities are open | consistency | order lines with delivered quantity equal to ordered quantity are excluded |
| Dates are inside the horizon and the calendar | range | a due date on a non-working day is moved by the calendar rule and flagged |
| Units and currencies convert | consistency | a component in a unit with no conversion to the base unit is held |
| Hierarchies are strict | completeness | no orphan members, no duplicate codes across ERPs |
| Weekly equals the sum of daily | consistency | grain sums are checked for every measure |
| Counts and control totals match | reconciliation | rows and quantities per table compared between source and target |
After the first load, SAP Integrated Business Planning receives net change on your planning calendar: BOD publications. The plan returns to Infor LN and M3 through ION APIs; response is the confirmation.
Four weeks, fixed price. One planning dataset from Infor LN and M3 into SAP Integrated Business Planning, the nine checks, the run window on your calendar and a reconciliation report at the end. Your systems integrator can deliver it; so can Lima's team.
Offers and principles →Sized by the tier your estate needs. The whole platform is included; the price does not change with rows moved or questions asked.
How pricing works →Four weeks for one planning dataset at a fixed price; recent programs reached a first full planning load in eight to ten weeks (customer engagements, anonymised).
Counts per step, the check that stopped a row, the owner and the replay point, and the lineage of any number back to its source column.
Your team, on the schedule you set, with the same report after every run; or your systems integrator; or Lima's team under the subscription.
One call scopes the dataset, the run window and the tier. The reconciliation report at the end is the acceptance test.
