Hello Prakash,
Production Planning is core module of SAP.It is related to actual manufacturing and about its planning activities.
                    For any company it is focus point. It involves many sub process like SOP,Demand Management,MRP,MPS, LTP,Prodcution Order Creation, Capacity planning and Prodcution Order Execution.In PP module you have to maintain main master data like Material master,BOM,Routing,Work Center.Your accuracy to SAP transaction will be more only if you maintain master data properly and accurate.PP has integrated towards many module , but major is with SAP MM and SAP SD along with SAP QM.
To understand more detailed views on SAP PP , use following link.

    for example if you have production stages like finished product(stage 1 ,stage 2) this willl have one GLs,other semifinished (stahes) will havwe GLs, RMs,and consumptions GLs,GRs GLS etc.

  • MRP II in Production Planning and Control

    Dear all,
        I am studing SAP Production planning and control. What is Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) and  what is the role of MRP II in PPC? What all modules MRP II covers in ERP?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    MRP-II includes following SAP modules:
    Materials Management
    Production Processes

    Product Costing
    The end result of MRP that supports enhanced inventory tracking, limited product and project costing, quality management, and process order management. Despite its complexity, the system is both flexible and easy to use.

  • SAP PP (Production Planning) Master Data Definitions

    SAP PP (Production Planning) Master Data Definitions and Transaction codes.

    SAP PP (Production Planning) Master Data Definitions
    • Factory Calendar
    • Material Master
    • Resource • Bills of Material (BOM)
    • Production versions
    • Master recipe
    Factory Calendar: The factory calendar is defined on the basis of a public holiday calendar. The public holiday and factory calendar is a central module in the SAP System. It is assigned to a specific plant during the initial system setup and therefore used in many areas (e.g. in Logistics and in Human Resources) in the system.
    Material Master: Material master comprises if all the basic data of the material for each department. The data covers all the relevant information required for the transactional flow e.g. sales, Planning, Production, Quality, Purchasing, Costing etc. Material master covers all the descriptive and control data and the flow of information depends on fields maintained within it. The integration of all material data in a single database object eliminates redundant data storage. Material Masters are created once and can be changed or extended whenever required
    Bill of Materials: Bill of Materials or commonly called BOM is a formally structured list of components that make up a product or assembly. The list contains the material number of the component together with the quantity and unit of measure. BOMs are used in their different forms in various situations where a finished product is assembled from several component parts or materials. Resources: Resources are production facilities and persons involved in a production process that have capacities. They are subdivided into categories to specify their suitability for certain purposes or their use in certain processes
    Product Versions: A production version determines which alternative BOM is used together with which task list/master recipe to produce a material or create a master production schedule. For one material, we can have several production versions for various validity periods and lot-size ranges. The production version determines the following:
    • The BOM alternative for a BOM explosion.
    • The task list (master recipe) and any alternate, as needed.
    • Lot-size restrictions and validity parameters.
    Master Recipes: A master recipe defines the following data that is required for the production of materials without relating to a particular order: processing steps, resources, material components, and control information for the process control level. Master Recipe enables to plan the production of materials (products). Therefore, Master Recipe is used as a template for process orders and run schedules as well as a basis for product costing. In a Recipe
    • The Phases (work steps) to be carried out during production.
    • The activities to be performed in the operations as a basis for determining dates, capacity requirements and costs.
    • The use of materials during production.
    • The use of resource.

  • Intergration of Production Planning with Plant Maintenance (SAP Modules)

    Our SAP Implentation Consultants are creating work centres in Production Planning which are different to the workcentres in Plant Maintenance as follows.
    Work Centres in PP
    Mixing
    Blowing
    Filling
    Packaging
    Work Centres in PM
    Mechanical
    Electronics
    Electrical
    My observation is that in PM the work centres should be identical to PP work centres. whereas Mechanical, Electronics and Electrical should be configured as divisions or departments. The idea is that by having PM WC identical to PP WC the costing will be simplified.
    looking forward to expert's advices, please

  • Unable to create a production plan and schedule on SAP B1

    Hi,
    I've been trying to figure out how to use SAP B1 to give me a production plan and schedule for quite some time now.... I have no problem in accessing my pending orders. There seems to be no option in my production tab to enter resource information! Would be great if you could possibly tell me how to figure this out.

    Hi,
    Without capturing the actual time of production orders, it is not possible to perform scheduling. You may create planned production order by based on theoretical time.
    Only third party add-on fulfill your requirement.

  • Sales order reference at the time of Production Planning

    Hi all,
    Is there any Hard check (or) Validation at the time of assigning sales order in Production order?
    to be more specific
    At the time of creating production plann, we assign open sales order  to that. Again if new production plan is created and with out knowing if he assign the same Sales order number system should block  it.
    Is there any solution for this
    Regards
    Shashi

    Shashi,
    Couple of important things to be noted.
    1.  How could you determine if the first user linking the SO to the Production Order really selected the correct one.  It could be very much possible that the same Sales Order linked to the another Prod Order is actually correct.
    Unless you have a business validation procedure to check this it will not be of much value to prevent duplicated.
    You can read about the transaction notification stored procedure using the link below
    https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1011154
    This transaction notification is a stored procedure available in a company database and can be accessed from SQL Server Management Studio

  • Sending Production Plan to Vendor / Supplier

    Dear Sir
    Ours is a production unit (assembly line) we use lot of components. So I want to know is it possible to send plan directly to Vendor by E-mail from SAP.
    Thanks & Regards
    Vishal

    Hi Vishal,
    Sending out Production Plan to Vendors by email is possible but given nature of dataset involved (not documents in form of Production Orders) it may not be a very feasible option. Instead either develop a report to extract relevant Production Plan data and send it out as email.
    But better look at Supply Chain Collaboration applications like SNC Supply Network Collaboration that has Outsourced Manufacturing processes catering to these kind of supplier / vendor collaboration requirements.
    Hope this helps.

  • Daily production plan in manufacturing shop floor

    Hi, we want to generate 2 different weekly production plans based on 1) roh available 2)customer delivery date. pls advise how to generate same.

    Hi
    There is no planning method in SAP based on raw materials. if you know how much finished product can be made out of one raw material then you can use SOP and create a prodcution plan as inactive version.
    For customer delivery date, if you know the cumulative requirements then place this quantity in SOP as the sales plan with delivery dates and create synchronous production plan and save it as another inactive version.
    Once you take a decision on which version to be used you can copy the version to a active version and transfer to demand managment and run mrp which creates planned orders.
    Make sure you use backward scheduling in the material master
    Thanks

  • Which SAP products would address these issues

    Dear All,
    We have implemented ECC 5.0 version of SAP in feb 2006, we are evaluating Hyperion for the undermentioned management requirements
    1) Business Planning
    2) Balance Scorecard
    3) KPI Reporting and Strategic management
    4) MIS Reports ( yeraly/halfyearly/Quarterly/monthly/ daily)
    5) Profitability Analysis & Simulation
    We are  in talks with SAP implementation partners also , but we are not sure how SAP currently fulfills all the above requirements ?
    In ECC 5.0 we have licenses for BIW 3.5 and SEM, the doubts are
    1) Which has better product features SAP products or Hyperion ?
    2) Which is the most cost effective solution especially for us since 95% of our data is in SAP ECC 5.0 ?
    3) Which additional Licenses we will have to buy to get the best features ?
    4) What hardware requirements will have to be fulfilled for above management requirements. ?
    Detailed answers are welcome.
    Regards
    Milind Nair

    SSM for the balanced scorecard
    BPC for high-level, top-down planning and mutli-year projections
    PCM for accurate, bottom-up operational cost and profitability managment, also for simulation of cost changes, activity / quantity changes and impact on product, customer or segment profitability
    They are all part of SAP's latest EPM suite

  • ATP Check Finished Goods against Components for production planning

    Hi All,
    Our business has a requirement that they want finished goods to be planned based on the availability of components. Currently we have an APO solution which plans at finished goods level only so there is no need to bring components into APO. We will probably use CTM (currently using Heuristics)
    We have concerns about the harm that this will do to our system performance and we really do not want to bring these components into APO.  We are therefore interested if there is any way we can avoid bringing these components into APO.
    In the past, there use to be a seperate ATP server from SAP where this could be done but my understanding is that this was discontinued and is no longer supporetd. Can someone advise me if there was a product that replaced this ATP Server or does anyone have any suggestions on how we can avoid bringing the components into APO. Please consider that it is not possible to limit to just critical components.
    Mark

    Mark,
    Hmmm..   Your seem to be considering adding hardware to support ATP server, but you seem unwilling to consider adding more hardware to the current SCM solution?  Doesn't make much sense to me.  Like most SAP products, SCM/APO can be expanded almost infinitely, if you need performance gains.  Which you don't know yet.
    Anyhow, depending on your requirements, CTM is probably overkill.  PPDS or SNP alone would be adequate.  If enhanced availability checking is what you want, then one of the GATP solutions would work.
    I guess ATP server still exists (run transaction ACBD from ECC) but I don't think I have ever seen anyone use ATP server at the same time they are using SCM.   All ATP server does is move the processing load of ECC ATP check onto a distinct buffered memory area.  I don't see how that will solve your problem, but I guess I don't really understand what you mean by "planned based on the availability of components." You don't need anything special to plan FGs in SCM and components in R/3, this is pretty standard.

  • How to implement the WIP in production planning module?

    Hi Gurus,
    Good afternoon! We are planning to Implement the WIP in Production Planning Module. Current set-up, we create production order and confirmed for all process in production transaction especially the consumption of raw materials and Goods receipt of FG from one Production order. We have two activity in production transaction. But we would like to separate the process per activity. Can we ask on how to separate the transaction or implementing the WIP? To create production order as semi-finished goods and one production order for final finished goods. We would like to ask for your expertise and advise on how to implement WIP in SAP PP that there is no duplication of manufacturing FG cost.
    We would like also to know all FI entries per transaction to make sure there is no double entries in manufacturing cost of FG.
    thank you,
