Lima Backbone reads planning data from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain through data Management Framework packages, 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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain 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 data Management Framework packages. Change capture (entity change tracking; Synapse Link tables) keeps the daily volume small afterwards.
| Planning object | Source objects | Destination in SAP Integrated Business Planning |
|---|---|---|
| Items | Released products V2 | Product master data type |
| Bills of material | BOM versions · BOM lines | Production source and component ratio |
| Routings | Routes · Route operations | Resource and production source |
| Stock | On-hand inventory entity | Stock on hand key figure |
| Open purchase orders | Purchase order headers and lines | Open supply key figures |
| Open sales orders | Sales order headers and lines | Sales order key figures |
| Production orders | Production orders and BOM lines | Product master data type |
| Forecasts | Demand forecast entries | Statistical forecast and consensus demand key figures |
| Customers and suppliers | Customers V3 · Vendors V2 | Customer and supplier master data types |
| Calendars | Working time calendars | 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: entity change tracking; Synapse Link tables. The plan returns to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain through OData entities; response is the confirmation.
Four weeks, fixed price. One planning dataset from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain 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.
