Master SAP PPDs technical configuration in SAP S4HANA with this step-by-step training, covering key elements, master data creation, and a quick test to validate operations.
Explore SAP PPDS, production planning and detailed scheduling, now integrated in SAP S4HANA as PPDS MBDI or EPPDS, with CIF core interface enabling supply and production proposals.
Explore the RFC concept in SAP, enabling remote systems to communicate via client-server architecture over TCP/IP, with QRFC queuing for asynchronous processes in PPDS embedded, inventory and order synchronization.
Use the scheduler to automate repetitive tasks and optimize warehouse and business processes, improving efficiency, reliability, and flexibility for inbound and outbound queue operations.
Explore idoc and ale to automate sap edi data exchanges between sap and non-sap systems. Identify the three idoc parts—control record, data recording, and status registration—and outbound and inbound transfers.
Enable the SCM_PPDS_ON_ERP business function using the switch framework (SFW5) to access embedded PPDS detailed scheduling, and verify its active status, which is typically on by default in S4HANA.
Define the name of the logical system for SAP PPDS embedded by using SPRO to access the customizing tree, navigate to advanced planning, CIF, and the name logical systems setting.
Assign a defined logical system to client 400 using SPRO in the CIF integration path, completing the system landscape and preparing the QRFC destination.
Configure the RFC destination in SPRO to match the logical system, using an RFC connection over tcp/ip with load balancing and logon security, then test connection and authorization.
Define the business system group using transaction code /n/sapapo/c1, manage existing groups, and prepare to assign the BSG to the logical system in the next video.
Assign the logical system and queue type to the business system group using /n/SAPAPO/C2, mapping BSG to S4HCLNT400 with inbound queues to improve performance.
Configure the target system and queue type in SAP S4/HANA PPDS by using CFC1 to set inbound queues and enable transactional events active standard.
Maintain the SCM release using transaction code NDV2 by configuring the logical system S4HCLNT400, assigning the system type SAP APO, and specifying release 713 to enable the PPDS embedded feature.
Configure the Qout scheduler and outbound queues, using SMQS and SMQ1, and define the RFC destination for the logical system to monitor QRFC outbound transfers and diagnose data transfer errors.
Configure the inbound queue scheduler by registering QIn queues with SMQR in the QRFC monitor, define queue names (star or D-L-V prefix), and monitor with SMQ2 to diagnose inbound errors.
Activate advanced planning and scheduling for PPDS embedded in SAP S4 HANA by enabling the customization point in SPRO, then transfer orders between S4 HANA and PPDS embedded system.
Define which data to transfer between the ASAP S4 HANA system and the PPDS embedded system using SPRO, then select data types in the advanced planning settings and save changes.
Use transaction /n/SAPAPO/MVM to create and activate the model 000 and planning version 000, set the PPDS horizon in days, priority, and safety stock.
Activate the business transfer event (BTE) to enable data transfer between the SAP ERP and the ASAP PPDS embedded system; use BF11 to enable the ND-APO application ID indicator.
Define and configure a dedicated number range for PPDS production orders using SAPAPO RRCP1, and choose between internal or external number assignment via the external checkbox.
Configure global settings and defaults for PPDS, assign number ranges to production orders, and set scheduling and planning profiles using SPRO and the SAP reference implementation.
Understand the SAP S4HANA business partner concept, where a single BP can represent people or organizations with multiple roles, such as customer or supplier, managed via the BP transaction.
Learn how to create and manage the PPDS master data by setting up a location, using SE38 and LOC3, and assigning location types (plant, shipping point, business partner, MRP area).
Learn how to enable advanced planning in MM02 to generate a PPDS product from ERP material in SAP S4HANA, with the product view in ASAP APO MAT 1.
Map ERP work centers to PPDS resources by marking the PPDS relevance checkbox; CR02 generates resources, RES01 verifies, with the W prefix, MIX01, and 001 machine/002 labor codes.
Learn to send the production data structure (PDS) for internal procurement to PPDS using CURTOADV_CREATE, with test mode and absolute or change transfer options.
Create a production order in sap erp (co01) for glass bottle x1, 44 units, and verify it transfers to ppds and shows in the stock requirement view.
Demonstrates transferring a PPDS production order to SAP ERP, verifying the order in ERP with MD04, and confirming successful bidirectional communication and number range alignment.
Learn the key technical components of SAP PPDS in SAP S4HANA, perform the basic technical configuration, create and manage master data, and validate your setup with a quick functional test.
Disclaimers: This course focuses solely on configuration and communication between SAP ERP and PPDS Embedded or ePPDS.
With over 400,000 customers worldwide, SAP has established itself over the years as a benchmark in ERP.
Few software packages are as powerful, and as adaptable to all types of business.
It enables significant process improvements, boosts business performance and, above all, increases communication and information exchange between departments, thanks to its unique database.
SAP training today is clearly an excellent choice for the future. Application areas are constantly expanding, and the need for companies to improve productivity and quality is growing.
However, it must be recognized that it is as powerful as it is complex, which may seem disconcerting at first.
This comprehensive training course is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to take full advantage of the power of SAP PPDS Embedded by configuring it in S/4HANA.
Throughout the course, students will learn about the key concepts and fundamentals of SAP PPDS Embedded, as well as how to configure the system.
