Espresso Tutorials Schnelleinstieg in die Produktionsprozesse (PP) in SAP ERP und S/4HANA

This book familiarizes you with the fundamentals of production planning in SAP S/4HANA. After a brief introduction to the new SAP Fiori user interface, all processes of discrete manufacturing are described in the new Fiori apps, while also considering the original SAP GUI transactions.

In addition to long-term and strategic planning using Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II), the planning-determining classification of products in the production approaches Engineer-to-Order, Make-to-Order, Assemble-to-Order, and Make-to-Stock is highlighted. With the Make-to-Stock strategy, a product is procured and manufactured based on a preliminary plan that includes all components. You can follow this process through a comprehensive example illustrated with numerous Fiori screenshots.

During the design and work preparation phase, the master data necessary for demand planning and its realization is created in SAP S/4HANA. You will learn about the impact of this master data on planning and how to analyze the results. The authors guide you through the structure of the key planning elements and show you the steps involved in production. The book is rounded off with practical knowledge on production control and capacity planning.
