SAP PP (Production Planning) is a core module in SAP ERP that helps businesses efficiently plan and manage their manufacturing processes. It integrates seamlessly with other SAP modules such as Materials Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), and Quality Management (QM) to provide a streamlined and automated production workflow. SAP PP allows organizations to maintain high levels of productivity by optimizing production schedules, managing resources, and monitoring manufacturing performance in real-time.
The primary components of SAP PP include Material Requirement Planning (MRP), Bill of Materials (BOM), Work Center, Routing, and Production Orders. These features help businesses determine the quantity of raw materials needed, define the structure of finished products, allocate machinery and labor resources, and create step-by-step production processes. By automating these critical tasks, SAP PP reduces the risk of production delays and ensures efficient use of materials and equipment.
