SAP PP Tutorials – Production Planning Functional Module Training Materials

SAP PP ( Full form Production Planning ) is one of the largest functional module in SAP. This module mainly deals with production process like capacity planning, Master production scheduling, Material requirement planning shop floor etc.

The PP module of SAP takes care of Master data needed like Bill Of Materials ( BOMs), Routing and Work Centers and stores it in one separate component.In this page you will get some SAP PP module tutorials, transaction codes, tables and PDF training materials to download.

SAP PP MODULE FEATURES & FUNCTIONALITIES

Here are the important functionalities & features covered by production planning module.

  • Material Requirement Planning (MRP)
  • Billing of Material (BOM)
  • Routings
  • Capacity Planning
  • Master production scheduling
  • Shop floor

MASTER DATA IN SAP PP

It is the core data in PP module. Without these PP master data we cannot do & store any transactions. In other words it’s the mandatory data in production planning.

  • Routing
  • Work Center
  • Material Master
  • Product Version
  • Bill of Material

SAP PP PROCESS FLOW

After all the master data like material master, BOM, Work Center & route creation, see the flow of process occurring in production planning module.

  • Planning Independent Requirement
  • MPS / MRP Running
  • Production Planning
  • Receive Raw materials
  • Production Confirmation
  • Production order close & settled

PP MODULE DATA IS INTEGRATED WITH FOLLOWING MODULES

Production planning module data is tightly integrated with the following list of module data .
