02 //Why this course

Why this course.

S4/SAP PP is proposed as a 75-day S/4HANA Production Planning program covering the journey from manufacturing master data and demand requirements through MRP, capacity planning, planned orders, production orders, shop-floor execution, confirmations, goods receipt, costing and operational analysis.

SAP's current learning content describes production planning as an end-to-end process that includes master data, production requirements, requirements planning, capacity planning and production execution. SAP also identifies materials, BOMs, routings, work centers, production resources/tools and production versions as key master data for production orders.

Production orders connect planning to execution: SAP describes creation, scheduling, release, material withdrawal/goods issue, confirmations, goods receipt and settlement as core execution steps, with integration into capacity planning, costing and inventory management.

05 //Projects and practice

Learning by doing.

  1. 01

    Product & Production Master Data Blueprint

    create a finished product, component structure, BOM, routing, work center and production version.

  2. 02

    Demand-to-MRP Simulation

    start with a demand scenario, execute planning logic and interpret planned orders/procurement proposals.

  3. 03

    Capacity Constraint Lab

    identify a bottleneck, inspect scheduling/capacity requirements and propose a planning response.

  4. 04

    Production Order Execution Lab

    create/release an order, issue components, confirm operations and post finished-goods receipt.

  5. 05

    Production Exception Lab

    troubleshoot master-data, planning, scheduling and execution exceptions.

  6. 06
