S\u0026amp;OP requires inputs from other planning systems, and requires collaboration on the part of Sales, Finance and Operations. S\u0026amp;OP is long term planning that attempts to match supply and demand and provides a financial plan to support the firm's strategy. S\u0026amp;OP is in part a subcategory of consensus based forecasting, however, it means driving to a consensus from what are more often than not branches within the company or entity that are more competitive than collaborative. This is no easy task. Beyond the political aspects of S\u0026amp;OP, S\u0026amp;OP is a software challenge because it means both planning at a higher level of aggregation than other planning processes, while also exposing the specific constraints so that those constraints can be evaluated for alteration.
