About The Course
SAP Production Planning (PP) is an SAP module designed for planning and managing manufacturing processes. It helps businesses optimize production capacity, manage materials, and meet customer demand efficiently. It is commonly used to forecast demand, create production plans, schedule operations, and monitor production progress. PP integrates with other SAP modules like Materials Management (MM) and Sales and Distribution (SD) to ensure a seamless flow of information across the supply chain.
Production Planning is the process of aligning demand with manufacturing capacity to create production and procurement schedules for finished products and component materials. SAP PP tracks and makes a record of the manufacturing process flows, for example, the planned and actual costs, as well as goods movements from the conversion of raw material to semi-finished goods.
PP creates schedules for production, for procurement, and for purchasing — ensuring that raw materials are available for production as required. The module records the production process with planned and actual budgets and records the movement of goods when raw material is converted into a semi-finished product. This module plays an essential role in the supply chain of any manufacturer and is primarily designed for production managers or other people who deal with manufacturing and scheduling and are responsible for optimising production costs.
SAP PP is a critical module for managing production planning and execution in modern enterprises. It enables organizations to align demand with production, optimize resources, and gain real-time visibility into manufacturing operations. When implemented effectively, SAP PP enhances productivity, reduces costs, and supports long-term operational excellence.

- Broad Industry Applicability — SAP PP training prepares professionals for roles like SAP PP Consultant, Production Planner, Operations Manager, or Manufacturing Specialist — roles that are in demand across manufacturing, retail, pharmaceuticals, and many other industries.
- Integration Knowledge Across SAP Modules — SAP PP integrates with other key SAP modules including Materials Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), Plant Maintenance (PM), Quality Management (QM), Finance (FI), Controlling (CO), and Human Resources (HR), giving trained professionals broad cross-functional expertise.
- Future-Ready Manufacturing Skills — With the advent of IoT, Artificial Intelligence, and advanced automation, SAP PP has significantly evolved within manufacturing, making training in this area essential for professionals aiming to stay relevant in the digital transformation era.
SAP PP has the following key features:
- Bill of Materials (BOM) — SAP PP allows companies to define and manage Bills of Materials, which list all the components required to manufacture a product, ensuring that production teams have a proper understanding of material dependencies. SAP supports up to 99 alternative BOMs for a single material, providing flexibility for design variations and multiple plants.
- Material Requirements Planning (MRP) — MRP is the backbone of SAP PP — it automatically calculates material requirements based on production schedules and inventory levels, helping organizations avoid both overstocking and shortages. In case of material shortage, it automatically generates purchase requisitions for externally procured materials and planned orders for in-house production.
- Work Centers — Work Centers in SAP PP represent the actual machines, assembly lines, and resources where production operations take place. They contain master data related to routing and are central to scheduling and capacity planning activities.
- Routing — Routing defines the sequence of operations required to produce a product, acting as a how-to guide for manufacturing. It is linked with the BOM and Work Centers to determine the manufacturing process and is used by MRP for lead-time scheduling and planned order date calculation.
- Demand Management — Demand Management helps organizations forecast product demand based on historical sales data, customer orders, and market trends. These forecasts are entered as Planned Independent Requirements (PIR) and serve as the primary input to MRP for production planning.
- Production Orders — A Production Order is a firm document specifying what material needs to be produced and in what quantity. It contains BOM components and routing operation data, is released for execution with material availability checks, and must be confirmed when goods are physically produced on the shop floor.
- Capacity Planning — Capacity planning in SAP PP ensures that production operations align with available resources, preventing overloads and inefficiencies, and helps maintain smooth and optimal production processes by analyzing whether available capacity can meet production demands.
- Production Versions — A production version in SAP PP links a specific BOM with a specific routing for a material, defining the exact manufacturing alternative to be used for planning and execution, allowing multiple versions per product for different manufacturing processes.
- Shop Floor Control (SFC) — SAP PP covers production execution through shop floor control, enabling production activities to be planned, released, and confirmed on the shop floor. It tracks actual vs planned costs and manages the complete manufacturing process flow from start to finish.
- Support for Multiple Production Types — SAP PP sub-modules vary as per industry type — including discrete production (where product changes with each lot and costs are calculated per order), repetitive manufacturing (where the same product is produced for a long period), and process industries — making it flexible for diverse manufacturing environments.
- Integration with SAP Supply Chain — SAP PP plays a vital role in a manufacturer’s supply chain and integrates seamlessly with MM (Materials Management), SD (Sales and Distribution), PM (Plant Maintenance), QM (Quality Management), FI (Finance), CO (Controlling), and HR — enabling end-to-end enterprise-wide coordination of production activities.

SAP PP (Production Planning) is an SAP module used to plan, schedule, and manage manufacturing processes. It helps organizations efficiently produce goods while controlling materials and resources.
The main components of SAP PP are:
- Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
- Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Routing
- Work Center
- Production Order
- Capacity Planning
A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a list of all raw materials, components, and quantities required to manufacture a finished product.
SAP PP helps improve production planning, reduce manufacturing costs, optimize resource utilization, increase production efficiency, and ensure timely product delivery.
A BOM lists the materials required to manufacture a product, while Routing defines the sequence of operations and work centres needed to produce that product.
A Work Center represents a machine, production line, or employee group where manufacturing operations are performed. It is used for scheduling and capacity planning.
A Production Order is a document that authorizes the manufacturing of a product. It contains details such as materials, operations, work centres, and production quantities.
MRP analyses demand, current inventory, and production schedules to determine which materials need to be purchased or produced and when they are required.
