Production Planning with SAP S/4HANA PP/DS

Production Planning with SAP S/4HANA PP/DS develops practical capability in production planning and detailed scheduling with PP/DS master data, heuristics, pegging, resources, optimization, alerts, and execution integration.

Learners progress through PP/DS Architecture, Master Data, Integration Models, Products, and Resources; Product Planning, Heuristics, Pegging, Planning Procedures, and Shortage Resolution; Detailed Scheduling, Setup Matrices, Resource Optimization, and Sequencing; Alerts, Interactive Planning, Analytics, Execution Integration, and Operational Tuning, connecting SAP behavior with business decisions, controls, and reviewable evidence.

The learning journey follows a manufacturing planning team balancing material availability, capacity, setup effort, and delivery priorities and produces a practical PP/DS planning model and scheduling decision log for implementation and operational use.
