SAP PP Module

Manufacturing in any company has at its disposal various resources. The nature and the constraints of these resources are determined by some strategic decisions. The day-to-day running of manufacturing rests with Production Planning and Control (PP&C) The purpose of PP&C is to ensure that manufacturing runs effectively and efficiently and produces products as required by customers.

SAP R/3 has a highly integrated Production Planning System. The PP module is divided into two Sub-modules: 1. PP-PI and 2. Production General.
PP-PI sub-module is designed for process industries like Oil and Gas.

The Production Planning module of SAP takes care of Master data needed like Bill Of Materials, Routings and Work Centers and stores it in one separate component.

Various stages of the planning system can be planned by using components like

1. Sales and Operation Planning
2. Long Term Planning
3. Demand Management
4. Materials Requirement Planning, etc.
