SAP PP

Master Data Management

Should have working experience in how to set up the foundation of the system. This includes building:

• Bills of Materials (BOM): A detailed list of the raw materials and parts needed to make a product.
• Work Centers: The specific locations where work happens (e.g., a specific machine or a group of workers).
• Routings: The step-by-step instructions and time required to turn raw materials into a finished good.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

MRP is the brain of SAP PP. It ensures you never run out of materials to keep the factory running. You must master:

• Running MRP: Calculating exactly what to produce or buy, and when.
• Planning Strategies: Differentiating between Make-to-Stock (producing for inventory) and Make-to-Order (producing based on specific customer orders).

3. Production Execution & Shop Floor Control

Once the plan is made, it must be executed. You must understand:

• Production Orders: Documents that tell the factory floor what to make and which materials to use.
• Goods Movements & Confirmations: Tracking the real-time use of materials and logging the completion of production steps.

4. Capacity Planning

This skill ensures you don't overbook your machines or workers. You need to be able to spot production limits and balance your workload so the factory can handle the demand.

5. Cross-Module Integration

SAP modules do not work in isolation. You must know how PP connects to:

• Materials Management (MM): To handle inventory and purchasing.
• Sales and Distribution (SD): To understand customer demand and sales orders.
• Finance and Controlling (FICO): To track the actual costs of manufacturing a product.
