1. MRP DISPATCHER
2. INTEGRATION OF ECC &APO
It was advisable and possible to integrate these 2 systems and used both for planning. CIF
was used for integration.
3.
4. APO is a planning tool that cannot be used in isolation. It relies on data from ECC like stock
or sales orders on the other hand dates and quantities planned in APO are executed in ECC.
Therefore, the planning process in APO requires a constant exchange of data with ECC. SO &
PIR forms the basis of Supply Network Planning. In PPDS you generate planned orders & PR
in planning horizon and plan procurement with precise time.
5. Scheduling is performed at resource level. MASTER DATA INTEGRATION with PP/DS
6. INTEGRATION MODEL-CIF INTEGRATION is required for transferring location master data
and external procurement relationships like purchase info records, contracts or scheduling
agreements.
7. INTEGRATION OF MATERIAL TO PRODUCTS & WC TO RESOURCES select Advanced planning
in material and work center master data.
8. Naming convention of work center and resources—During transfer of a S4 HANA WC to
PP/DS. First a W for WorkCentre is added to WC number 1904 followed by the Plant and WC
Category.
9. PRODUCTION DATA STRUCTURE
10. PLANNING METHODS—We need to tick the Advanced planning checkbox in MM and on
running MRP LIVE RUN executes the maintained product heuristics in PP/DS in live cachebased planning and scheduling. Therefore, an integration model develops in background and
developed automatically.
11. OBJECTIVES OF PP-DS—It is used for short term planning with exact time in production plant
with exact timing both for in house production and external procurement. Advanced
planning functions that are available in PP-DS may not be required for raw materials.
Typically critical products that are manufactured using bottlenecks resources are planned in
PP-DS while less critical materials that are consumption based purchasing materials are
planned in MRP LIVE.
12. ADVANTAGES---You can define the resources as finite resources in the resource master.
Order operations are only created in this resource if only there is sufficient capacity available
by the indicated GU Date or else the system searches for a new date by taking the capacity
situation in account.

USE DEMAND MANAGEMENT & PLANNING STRATEGIES IN PP-DS
PLANNING STRATEGIES defined in S4HANA is transferred to PP-DS PRODUCT MASTER using
CIF. The logic differs in the 2 systems. Even the numbers indicated in the systems are not
identical because several S4HANA PLANNING STRATEGIES can be mapped with one
requirement strategy in PP-DS. Strategy group which contains one main strategy is entered
in S4HANA MATERIAL MASTER which is transferred to the PP-DS System. In S4HANA a MRP
Group can also be used to assign a Strategy group to the Material Master. When such a
material is transferred to PP-DS system also checks and transfer the settings.
The settings in MM for consumption mode are also transferred to PP-DS through CIF. In
S4HANA System a MRP GROUP can also be used to transfer the consumption details to PPDS which is checked by system and settings are transferred.
MTO Production which is defined in S4HANA as strategy 20 is transferred without an entry in
the proposed strategy of PP-DS Product Master. Since the requirement strategy only
concerns PIR in PP-DS in contrast to S4HANA no requirement strategies are required in PPDS for MTO production with no planning.

NOW CREATE NEW OVERALL PROFILE
Once the lot size of the planned order has been determined and PDS has
been exploded the production planning run calculates the dates of the
planned orders. Dependent requirement dates of the planned order
have been moved to assigned activities. This ensures that material
purchase orders are planned in accordance with the operations. A GR
TIME is calculated from S4HANA MM to PP-DS PRODUCT MASTER.
