Overview

How the SAP PP syllabus is organised

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.

Each topic below combines the concept with practice on an SAP system. The order and depth can be adjusted for a batch, so ask for the current plan when you enquire.

Topics

Topics covered in SAP PP

Bill of Material (BOM). The list of components and quantities needed to make a product (for example transaction CS01).
Work centre and routing. The machines or lines where work happens and the sequence of operations to make a product (CR01 and CA01).
Demand management. Captures forecasts and sales orders as the demand that planning must meet.
MRP (Material Requirements Planning). Calculates what must be produced or bought, and when, to cover demand (MD01 or MRP Live in S/4HANA).
Planned and production orders. Planned orders are proposals from MRP, and production orders are the released instructions to the shop floor (CO01).
Shop floor execution. Release, goods issue of components and confirmation of operations (CO11N).
Capacity planning. Checks whether work centres have enough capacity and levels the load.
Production types. Discrete, repetitive and process manufacturing each use slightly different PP objects.

Hands-on

From demand to finished goods in PP

Practice should include walking through real business flows, for example:

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

S/4HANA

What is different in S/4HANA

MRP Live runs on the HANA database and is much faster than classic MRP.
Fiori apps support planning and shop-floor monitoring.
Material numbers and master data follow the simplified S/4HANA models.
Embedded extended warehouse management and advanced planning capabilities are available in newer releases.
