What is Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS)?
Advanced planning for finite scheduling and sequencing of production orders, embedded in S/4HANA or in APO.
PP/DS considers resource capacity and setup times, unlike classic MRP. Embedded PP/DS in S/4HANA still uses a CIF-based model internally. Testing focuses on heuristics and scheduling results.
