SCM242 Course Overview

Course OverviewThe course explains the functions of material requirements planning within ProductionPlanning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) in SAP APO. This course (ProductionPlanning Part 2) extends from SCM240 (Production Planning Part 1). SCM240 explainsthe basic concepts of material requirements planning, using SAP R/3 Enterprise as anexample. This course deals with transferring these basic concepts to SAP APO PP/DS andexplains the special functions available in SAP APO PP/DS that are not available in SAPR/3 MRP. The capacity planning and optimization functions that are possible in PP/DSare dealt with in the course SCM360. At the end of the course, participants will be able touse the functions of the following areas:

� Planned independent requirements in SAP APO PP/DS� Sales orders in SAP APO PP/DS� Execution of production planning and detailed scheduling, such as finite and infinite� Functions of the individual planning methods (heuristics)� Evaluation of the planning result� Transfer of the planning results to SAP R/3 for execution

Target AudienceThis course is intended for the following audiences:

� Project team members and key users who are responsible for the implementation ofproduction planning using SAP APO PP/DS within mySAP SCM.

Course PrerequisitesRequired Knowledge

� SCM200: Supply Chain Planning Overview� SCM210: Core Interface APO� SCM240: Production Planning Part 1
