Course Overview
The SAP APO PP/DS course provides comprehensive knowledge of Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling within SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization. Learners will understand how PP/DS helps manage production demand, planning constraints, supply sources, capacity, scheduling, and manufacturing exceptions.
The training covers planning procedures, production planning runs, product heuristics, make-to-order planning, firming, scheduling, pegging, process and service heuristics, setup optimization, and detailed scheduling. Practical scenarios help learners understand how to evaluate planning results, resolve exceptions, and optimize production schedules.
By the end of the course, learners will have the practical knowledge required to work with SAP APO PP/DS and support advanced production planning and scheduling processes in supply chain and manufacturing environments.
