SAP PP module is one of the core modules of SAP ERP


system. SAP PP stands for Production Planning and
Control. This module of SAP ERP is dedicated to planning
and execution of manufacturing business processes in an
organization. Unlike other SAP ERP modules like Financial
Accounting or Materials Management, not all companies
choose to implement SAP PP module because it is only
necessary if a company performs manufacturing activities.
However, since the majority of companies do have
manufacturing plants, SAP PP provides the capabilities for efficient management of
production facilities and processes.

Modelling of manufacturing processes in SAP PP starts with master data. It stores


information about characteristics of materials and other objects that doesn’t change
frequently. The key elements of master data in SAP PP include:

Materials
Bills of materials
Work centers
Task lists / Routings

Cost centers

These elements of master data enable companies to quantify parameters of manufacturing


processes. For example, material master data will provide differentiation between raw
materials and finished goods. Another example is routings that define sequences of
operations in production processes.

Besides master data, SAP PP also uses organizational data that is needed to capture the
organizational structure of a company. The most important organizational unit of SAP PP
module is not surprisingly plant. Plants should be assigned to legal entities (knows as
company codes in SAP) to properly reflect the organizational hierarchy of a company and
ensure integration with SAP FI module.

SAP PP provides support for different manufacturing processes, such as:

Make-to-Order Production
Process Manufacturing
Repetitive Manufacturing
KANBAN
Project-Oriented Manufacturing

Since manufacturing business processes are different from company to company,


implementation of SAP PP module requires customization of SAP ERP system according
to the needs to a particular company. This is usually performed by a team of professionals
known as SAP PP consultants.
