SAP PP Training: Master Production Planning
Discover SAP PP (Production Planning), from business process to customization and certification.
Schedules are exploding, workshops are running on empty, and your teams are drowning in production orders. You may use SAP, but planning still seems like a never-ending puzzle.
This is where it all comes down to it: SAP PP. The module that organizes demand, structures production and synchronizes every component, every machine, every operation. When well mastered, it reduces delays, secures your supplies and finally gives your company visibility.
Our SAP PP training course shows you exactly how. No dusty theory, but real-life cases, two tracks (Business Process & Customizing), and direct preparation for official SAP S/4HANA certification.
👉 You'll leave with a system that works, a skill that's rare on the market and a real advantage for your career.
What is SAP PP
A customer order arrives. But without solid planning, it triggers an avalanche: lack of materials, saturated workshops, delivery delays. The company loses time, and you lose credibility.
SAP PP (Production Planning) is the answer. This SAP S/4HANA module centralizes the production planning and execution : managing requests, calculating component requirements, scheduling operations, monitoring production orders.
In concrete terms, it links three often disconnected worlds: the commercial which promises a date on store which manages materials inventories, and theworkshop which executes the operations. The result: smooth production, aligned and controlled in real time.
Mastering SAP PP means more than just clicking on transactions. It means understanding the logic of the discrete industry, knowing where to customize parameters, and transforming a cumbersome system into an effective management tool.
And that's exactly what this course teaches you, before we get into the detailed content.
Target audience
SAP PP training content
The course is divided into two phases.
First, you learn how to read and execute business processes production planning. Then you move on to the internal mechanics: the customizingThis is how to set up SAP PP to reflect the reality of your business.
The two parts flow naturally, chapter after chapter:
Result: you know understanding business processes AND set up the system. Two skills that make all the difference... and on the SAP S/4HANA PP certification exam.
Training resources
PDFs don't train anyone. Workshops do. Here, every resource sticks to the production floor, not to theory.
You move forward with guided videos directly in SAP S/4HANA. We follow the actual flow: customer request, planning, MRP, production orders, operations, confirmations. You see the screen, the gesture, then you repeat the action. Result: less hesitation, more execution.
You receive ready-to-use checklists for discrete manufacturing: material creation, master data quality, BOM and routing checks, pre-MRP checks, component tracking. These are checklists that secure the process and avoid errors that can bring a workshop to a standstill.
You work with reusable templates: master data frames, order templates, PP process maps, PP glossary (order, work center, operation, batch, requirement). Everything is designed for the company, not for an academic course. The aim: to save time right from the first planning session.
Test your understanding with targeted quizzes and case studies "from need to production order". We'll put you in the shoes of a planner: prioritizing, adjusting, relaunching. You solve a real problem, step by step, right through to the workshop and maintenance.
Finally, you have a clear plan for certification SAP S/4HANA PP (C_TS422_2021 / C_TS422_2022) You'll find all the information you need: recommended route, reviews by topic, and guidelines to help you stay on track. You'll know what to review, in what order, and why it counts in production.
Training format
There's no need to block off your days. Training is available online, 24 hours a day on Udemy. You can progress when you want, at your own pace, with no schedule constraints.
Each chapter is divided into short, targeted sequences A concept, a demonstration in SAP S/4HANA, an exercise. No three-hour tunnel that's impossible to digest. You progress block by block, like a real production line assembling skills.
Once registered, you keep a unlimited access. You can revisit a module before a workshop, revise before a mission or reuse checklists in the middle of an emergency. Training becomes a permanent basis for work.
And because we know that a screen is no substitute for a trainer, you can ask your questions directly on the platform. Answers are public, enriching the experience for all learners.
👉 The result: flexible, practical training that's always accessible, and fits into your daily routine without ever blocking it.
Requirements
You don't need to be an SAP expert to get started. But you do need a minimum of experience.
If you've already dabbled in SAP ERP or another module such as MM (materials management) or SD (sales and distribution), you're off to a flying start. You know what it means to navigate between transactions, consult master data and understand a business flow.
On the job side, experience in the supply chain, production or planning helps a lot. You don't need to have managed a factory, but knowing what a BOM, a production order or a machine capacity is makes learning more concrete.
The rest we build together: understanding needs, configuring the system, executing an order and preparing for certification.
In short: a basic knowledge of the business + a first contact with SAP are all you need to get started. Training is designed to transform these foundations into real expertise.
Key skills
You don't leave with slides. You leave with planner's reflexes and consultant's automatisms.
At the end of the training, you will know :
- Managing production planning transform a request into a plan, then into executable orders.
- Managing critical master data The new, easy-to-install software: materials, BOMs, routings and workstations without blocking errors.
- Using MRP anticipate needs, avoid disruptions and adjust lead times.
- Follow order execution from launch to workshop confirmation, with real control in real time.
- Configuring SAP PP Set up planning strategies, batch rules and organizational structures to suit your business.
- Preparing for SAP S/4HANA PP certification : knowing which topics fall, how to practice and how to pass the exam.
Result: you master both business logic and technical configuration. A rare, sought-after dual profile that can be directly put to good use in a company.
Additional training for SAP PP
SAP PP is not an isolated module. It's an integral part of the ERP suite, in constant dialogue with the others. To go further and broaden your skills, you can complete the training with :
- SAP MM (Materials Management) Planning depends on reliable inventories and controlled supplies.
- SAP SD (Sales & Distribution) Customer demand triggers the entire production chain.
- SAP QM (Quality Management) quality control right from the manufacturing stage, avoiding returns and hidden costs.
- SAP PM (Plant Maintenance) anticipate machine maintenance to avoid blocking orders.
- SAP Fiori Clear interfaces, modern PP applications, useful daily dashboards. You gain adoption on the shop floor and speed on the planning side.
- ABAP basics (debugging) The key is to understand errors, to read a log, to follow a blocked process. Not to code a module, but to diagnose quickly and speak the same language as the technical team.
In practice, an SAP PP planner who understands these interfaces, knows how to use Fiori like a pro, and how to debug a flow with an ABAP eye, becomes more than just an executor: a ERP orchestra conductor.
By combining PP with these bricks, you gain a cross-functional view of the company and become indispensable to SAP projects.
