SAP S/4HANA Flexible Integration with PP/DS

Flexible Integration with PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA aims to give customers the option of choosing between several 'Scope Limitations' for Advanced Planning and Detailed Scheduling capabilities. Its purpose is to distinguish ownership of planning and scheduling capabilities between SAP S/4HANA PP, PP/DS for Sap S/4Hana, and other external planning applications such as SAP IBP.

In SAP IBP order-based planning, the location material master data attribute Production Planning Integration Mode (in short: PP integration mode or PPIM) has been introduced in order to model different flavours of production planning integration. PP Integration Modes enable the following –

  • Define the order life cycle of supply elements planned in two systems at different levels of detail, including:
  • an operational supply planning stage (OSP stage) as an outcome of rough-cut planning in SAP IBP order-based planning
  • a detailed planning and scheduling stage (DPS stage) enabling planning steps within PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA
  • Differentiate the allowed actions in both automated and user interactive planning regarding these supply elements and regarding their planning stages across all applications involved. These applications include the following:
  • SAP IBP order-based planning
  • SAP S/4 HANA logistics components MM and PP
  • PP/DS for SAP S/4 HANA

Apart from SAP IBP order-based planning, the integration of the following scenarios will also be supported with improved flexibility

  • MRP Based DS
  • DD MRP Integration
  • Local Networks Planning

The following new UI fields have been added to the Advanced Planning tab in the Material Master and the Fiori Manage Product Master App –

  • Scope Limitation
  • Scope Profile

Scope Limitation is enabled for input during material creation only when the ‘Advanced Planning’ flag is checked for the material. Following are the values or Scope Limitation which can be set for a material –

  • 1’ – PP/DS Display Only
  • 2’ – PP/DS Restricted for Inhouse Only
  • 3’ – PP/DS Restricted
  • 4’ – PP/DS Entire Scope for Inhouse Only
  • Blank) – PP/DS Entire Scope?
Scope Limitation 2 – PP/DS Restricted for Inhouse Only

Characteristics of Scope Limitation ‘2? – PP/DS Restricted for Inhouse Only are –

  • External Procurement Orders are sent from PP to PP/DS as ‘Display Only’ orders during CIF
  • Create, update and delete of External Procurement orders interactively or automatically is not allowed
  • Execution of Planning Functions on External Procurement orders is not allowed
  • Execution of Heuristics on Planning Objects (Products, Resources, Orders) is allowed as per the list of allowed Heuristic Algorithms maintained in the Scope Profile.
  • Execution of Heuristics on External Procurement orders is not allowed
Scope Limitation 3 – PP/DS Restricted

Characteristics of Scope Limitation ‘3? – PP/DS Restricted are –

  • Create, update and delete of both Inhouse & External Procurement orders interactively or automatically is allowed
  • Execution of Planning Functions on both Inhouse & External Procurement orders is allowed
  • Execution of Heuristics on Planning Objects (Products, Resources, Orders) is allowed as per the list of allowed Heuristic Algorithms maintained in the Scope Profile.
