The S&OP Operator Profiles app is used to configure different types of algorithms.

The S&OP Operator Profiles app in SAP IBP configures planning algorithms (e.g., heuristics, optimizer). The Time-Series-Based Supply Optimizer has unique settings reflecting its optimization approach.

Option A: DiscretizationThis is correct. Discretization (e.g., binary or integer variables for lot sizes) is specific to the optimizer, enabling discrete decisions (e.g., full truckloads), a feature not in heuristics, per SAP IBP’s optimizer documentation.

Option B: Time profile levelThis is incorrect. Time profile level applies to all time-series planning (heuristics and optimizer), not unique to the optimizer.

Option C: Global cost factorsThis is correct. The optimizer uses global cost factors (e.g., non-delivery, inventory holding costs) to balance trade-offs across the network, a unique setting compared to heuristics, per SAP IBP’s configuration guides.

Option D: Processing modeThis is incorrect. Processing mode (e.g., batch vs. interactive) is a general job setting, not algorithm-specific to the optimizer.

Thus, A and C are unique settings for the Time-Series-Based Supply Optimizer, per SAP IBP’s official documentation.
