SAP Production Planning(PP) is the process of aligning demand with manufacturing capacity to create production and procurement schedules for finished products and component materials.
SAP PP is an important module of SAP. SAP Production Planning (SAP PP) is the component of ERP Central Component (ECC) that helps businesses plan the manufacturing process flows, for example, the planned and actual costs.
