This module explains different production methods, manufacturing strategies, and production execution processes used by modern manufacturing organizations.0
- Module 7: Master DataMaster Data forms the backbone of SAP PP. In this module, you will learn how to create and manage essential production planning master data, including Material Master records, Bills of Materials (BOM), and other key data required for efficient production planning and manufacturing execution.0
- Module 8: Production OrderThis module provides a complete understanding of Production Orders in SAP PP. You will learn how to create, release, and process production orders, integrate them with planning activities, manage material staging, print production documents, and monitor the complete production lifecycle from planning to execution.0
- Module 9: Variant ConfigurationThis module introduces Variant Configuration, enabling organizations to manufacture customizable products efficiently. You will learn about classes, characteristics, variants, classification profiles, and object dependencies that help manage configurable products and complex manufacturing requirements.0
- Module 10: Sales and Operational PlanningThis module explains how sales forecasts are transformed into production plans through Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP). You will learn product group planning, material planning, standard planning, demand management, and plan development to align production activities with business objectives and customer demand.0
- Module 11: Material Requirements Planning (MRP)This module focuses on Material Requirements Planning (MRP), one of the most critical components of SAP PP. You will learn how to manage master data requirements, understand the differences between MRP and MPS, process planned orders, perform order conversions, and execute master production scheduling to ensure uninterrupted production.0
- Module 12: Batch ManagementThis module provides comprehensive knowledge of Batch Management in SAP PP. You will explore condition tables, access sequences, strategy types, classes and characteristics, Shelf Life Expiration Date (SLED), and both automatic and manual batch determination methods used to maintain product quality and inventory traceability.0
- Module 13: Repetitive & Discrete Manufacturing ProcessThis module covers the implementation and management of both Repetitive Manufacturing (REM) and Discrete Manufacturing processes. You will learn about production versions, backflushing, REM profiling, material staging, and master data maintenance, enabling efficient execution of different manufacturing strategies.0
- Module 14: Integration with QM & MMThe final module focuses on integrating SAP Production Planning with SAP Quality Management (QM) and SAP Materials Management (MM). You will understand how production planning interacts with procurement, inventory management, quality inspections, and manufacturing execution to create a seamless end-to-end production process across the organization.0
