Beginner guide

What is SAP PP (Production Planning)?

SAP PP is the manufacturing module of SAP. It holds the recipe for each product, plans the materials and capacity needed to meet demand, and tracks production orders on the shop floor until the finished goods are booked into stock.

Companies that make things, from auto components to food and pharma, rely on PP. It works closely with MM for materials, SD for customer demand and CO for product costing.

Key concepts

The main building blocks of PP

In practice

From demand to finished goods in PP

  1. Sales orders and forecasts create demand for a finished product.
  2. MRP compares demand with stock and creates planned orders and purchase requisitions for components.
  3. Planned orders are converted into production orders and released.
  4. Components are issued from stock, operations are confirmed on the shop floor, and capacity is consumed.
  5. The finished goods are received into stock, and costs are settled by Controlling.

FAQ

SAP Production Planning (PP) — your questions

Material Requirements Planning calculates which materials must be produced or purchased, in what quantity and by when, to meet demand.

A BOM lists what materials go into a product. A routing lists the operations and work centres used to make it.

No. Engineers have an advantage, but anyone willing to learn manufacturing basics can follow the course.

Wherever manufacturing runs on SAP, PP skills are needed, particularly in the industrial belts around cities such as Pune, Chennai and Aurangabad.

It helps, because production consumes materials, but the course explains the links as they appear.

Yes. Pro Soft Academy teaches live, instructor-led online SAP Production Planning (PP) training with hands-on practice and placement support. See the course page for the syllabus and enquire for the next batch.
