What Is SAP PP – Production Planning?

SAP PP (Production Planning) is an SAP application area that supports manufacturing planning and production execution. It helps organizations translate production demand into planned requirements and coordinate the materials, operations and resources needed for manufacturing. Key SAP PP processes include demand management, material requirements planning (MRP), planned orders, production orders, production scheduling and capacity planning. Manufacturing master data, such as Bills of Material (BOMs), routings and work centres, also supports effective production planning. SAP PP can integrate with other SAP functions, including Materials Management (SAP MM) and Sales and Distribution (SAP SD), depending on the SAP product, edition and system configuration. These connections help coordinate production requirements with material procurement, inventory and customer demand.

What You Can Learn Through SAP PP Training

Prompt Edify’s SAP PP Training introduces learners to the core concepts and workflows involved in production planning and manufacturing. The course can help learners understand how production demand is translated into material requirements, planned orders and production orders.
