SCM240 Production Planning in ERP

SCM240 Production Planning in ERP develops the practical capability to plan demand, execute material requirements planning, evaluate capacity, and control production orders in SAP ERP. The course connects SAP concepts with controlled execution, evidence-based decisions, and responsibilities that can be reviewed after implementation.

Applied work follows a discrete manufacturer balancing customer demand, component availability, finite work-center capacity, and reliable shop-floor execution. Learners create production master data readiness workbook, MRP execution and exception analysis pack, production order and capacity control workbook, production planning assurance and handover plan. Scenario testing addresses realistic conditions including a material uses a planning strategy inconsistent with its fulfillment model; MRP generates proposals with dates that cannot satisfy the required production calendar; an order is released despite an unresolved component availability shortage; the planning result is technically complete but planners cannot reconcile a rescheduling exception.

By completion, participants can apply the relevant SAP processes and configuration, explain observed results, correct supported exceptions, and hand over monitored controls that sustain stable production planning.
