Sample SAP Production Planning (PP) Business Blueprint (BBP)

This document describes the proposed blue print for SAP Implementation at a company. It outlines all the business processes associated within the scope of implementation. The intent of the document is to define the TO-BE model for the process for which an AS-IS study was conducted during the knowledge gathering phase.

The production planning within SAP (PP) would encompass all activities relating to Material Requirement Planning (MRP) and processing through production. It would include master data maintenance and the controlling transactions needed for the same.

The blueprint aims to cover all the business processes within the scope of the project and in case there are any processes which are not covered for lack of clarity, better solution, etc these would be detailed as additions to the blueprint as and when they are ready. See below the covered topics;

  • Organizational Structure

  • MRP
  • MRP Controller
  • Capacity Planning
  • Production Process Execution
