SAP S/4HANA
What is Plan to Produce?
The manufacturing process from demand planning and MRP through production execution and order settlement.
It spans PP (MRP, planned and production orders), inventory movements, quality inspections, and CO product cost collection. Integration points with FI and CO make it complex to test. Variants include discrete, process, and repetitive manufacturing.
