SAP PP-PI: Basic Overview Guide

This document is a detailed guide that provides a basic understanding of the Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) in SAP, primarily designed for batch-oriented process manufacturing in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and batch-oriented electronics.

The document explains the concept of PP-PI, which supports integrated planning of production, waste disposal, and transport activities within a plant. It also facilitates the integration of plants within the company, both vertically through an information flow and horizontally through the coordination of planning between production plants, recycling and waste disposal facilities, and production laboratories.

The guide then delves into a full-cycle scenario of SAP PP-PI, providing practical examples of creating material masters, bills of material, resources, master recipes, production versions, material allocation, standard costing, planned independent requirements, and running MRP. It also explains the process of updating stocks of raw materials, converting planned orders to process orders, checking material availability, releasing orders, issuing goods, confirming orders, receiving goods, calculating variances, doing settlements, and completing TECO.

Batch Management in SAP: Basic Overview Guide

This document provides a simple overview of batch management within the context of material production and stock management in SAP.

A batch is defined as a subset of the total quantity of a material held in stock, representing a homogeneous unit with unique specifications. Batch Management indicator can be set manually or automatically in the material master record, and it is maintained at different levels – plant, material, and client.

The document highlights the reasons for implementing batch management, such as traceability in case of complaints and recall issues, search via expiration date, ISO certification, and the management of batch characteristics to determine which batch fits a specific requirement.

The guide also provides practical examples of creating weekly requirements, running MRP against those requirements, converting purchase requisitions to purchase orders for raw materials, and creating batch numbers during goods receipt. It further discusses the process of issuing multiple batches to a single production order, a process known as batch splitting.

Finally, the document explains how to use MB56 transaction code to trace the usage of a particular batch of raw material, providing a valuable tool for quality control and customer complaint handling.

SAP S/4HANA PP Baseline Configuration Guide

Starting with a one page description to the terms of SAP Configuration, SAP Implementation Methodology, and SAP Landscape, this document then provides the 8 steps of baseline configuration of SAP S/4HANA Production Planning (PP) module.

  1. Factory Calendar: This involves creating company-specific dates such as alternate working Saturdays and holidays. The calendar ID can be used in the work center master data for calculating capacities.
  2. Shift and Shift Sequences: This step involves defining the timings for each shift and the sequence of each shift. The grouping created here can be used in the Capacities tab in the work center.
  3. Person Responsible: This refers to the person or group of people responsible for maintaining the master data in certain work centers. This key will now be available to select in the work center.
  4. Capacity Planner Group: This is a person or group of people responsible for planning certain capacities. This key will now be available to select in the capacities tab in the work center.
  5. Work Center Parameter: These are used in formulas for capacity planning, scheduling, costing, PRT management, and determining standard values using CAPP.
  6. Work Center Formula: This involves creating new formulas based on parameters defined in the previous step. The formula is used for capacity planning, scheduling, costing, etc.
  7. Standard Value Key: This key determines the meaning of the six standard values in the operation. It is used in formulas for the calculation of execution time, capacity requirements, and costs.
  8. Control Key: This specifies how an operation or a sub-operation is processed in functions such as orders, costing, or capacity planning. The control key specifies how the business functions you want to carry out with an operation and how the SAP System processes an operation.
