## 4.10  Integration with SAP Integrated Business Planning
SAP Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP) combines supply chain monitoring, sales and operations planning, demand management, inventory planning, and supply planning into a comprehensive solution.
With Joule, business users have conversational access to the SAP IBP product documentation on SAP Help Portal from the SAP Fiori launchpad of their SAP IBP system.
##  Note
To access Joule within SAP IBP, an additional entitlement and authorization may be required. For more information, please consult your account executive and see https:/ /www.sap.com/products/artificialintelligence/joule-base-entitlement.html .
## Prerequisites
- You've read and understood the relevant security information for Joule. For more information, see Security.
- You're using the same email address for your SAP IBP system and in SAP Cloud Identity Services - Identity Authentication.
## Prerequisites related to SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP)
Joule is an SAP BTP based solution, so you need working knowledge in the following topics: entitlements, subaccount, system landscape, booster, and you need to set up SAP BTP. This includes the following requirements:
- You have an enterprise global account on SAP BTP with license type CUSTOMER and have configured your global account with the required entitlements.
- In addition, you have registered your SAP IBP system in your global account. For more information, see Register an SAP Integrated Business Planning System in a Global Account in SAP BTP and Trigger the Registration in the SAP Integrated Business Planning Tenant.
- In your SAP BTP global account, you have a subaccount that includes your SAP IBP system. In addition, you've completed the following configuration steps for this subaccount:
- You've established trust between SAP Authorization and Trust Management Service and SAP Cloud Identity Services - Identity Authentication. For more information, see Configure Trust to the Identity Authentication Tenant [page 15].
- You've configured the user\_uuid assertion attribute to the Global User ID field in the Identity Authentication application corresponding to this subaccount to allow user identification based on global user ID. For more information, see Global User ID in Integration Scenarios. For a step-by-step procedure, see Configure User Attributes for Joule from the Identity Directory [page 16].
- You've added the entitlement for the connectivity plan of SAP Cloud Identity Services.
- You have created an SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition application and instance. For more information, see Create SAP Build Work Zone Application and Instance [page 11].
## Other Prerequisites
When you fulfill the above prerequisites, check whether you also fulfill the general prerequisites for Joule. For more information, see Prerequisites [page 7].

Check which path you need to follow to integrate Joule with your SAP IBP system. This depends on whether you're integrating Joule for the first time or not.

- Add the domain of your SAP IBP system as trusted domain in SAP BTP. [page 21]
- Add the domain of your SAP IBP system as trusted domain in SAP Cloud Identity Services - Identity Authentication. [page 20]
- Use the Setting up Joule booster to create a formation in the SAP BTP global account that includes your Joule system. [page 17]
- Maintain the custom content security policy in your SAP IBP tenant to enable loading the Joule icon. [page 87]
- If you have integrated Joule with another SAP product, you can use the existing formation to include your SAP IBP system. [page 84]
- To use Joule to find and navigate to SAP IBP apps, SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition needs to be included in the same formation. [page 84]
- Add your SAP IBP system as an additional system to the existing formation that you have set up for Joule and the other SAP product. [page 19]
- Add SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition and your SAP IBP system to the existing formation that you have set up for Joule and the other SAP product. [page 19]
- Before you can start the new integration, you need to clear the previous integration. [page 84]
- First, exclude your SAP IBP system from the existing formation for Joule. [page 19]
- Then, delete the formation for Joule that used to include your SAP IBP system. [page 20]
- Make sure you have completed the preparatory integration steps, then proceed with running the Setting up Joule booster. [page 84]
##  Note
The Setting up Joule booster creates a communication arrangement and communication system in your SAP IBP system for the SAP Digital Assistant Services ( SAP\_COM\_0882 ) communication scenario. Do not create, change or remove this communication arrangement and system from your SAP IBP system. Otherwise, the Joule integration will fail.
## Verifying the Integration
After you've completed the integration process, Joule should be available in your SAP IBP system. To verify this, navigate to the SAP Fiori launchpad of your SAP IBP system and check whether the Joule icon  appears in the upper right part of your shell bar.
