Summary

SAP S4HANA Production Planning Training

Parminder conducted the first session of SAP S4HANA production planning training, focusing on the end-to-end business process from demand generation to production execution. He explained how the planning process begins with demand inputs from sales orders and forecasts, which are processed through S&OP models to generate PIRs (Plan Independent Requirements). The session covered the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) process using transaction code MD01N, which runs in background jobs either daily or weekly, and discussed the distinction between planned orders (created by planners for 6-36 months planning horizon) and production orders (created by execution team for 1-3 weeks horizon). Parminder also introduced an AI-powered LMS system with features like chatbot assistance, summarized videos, and interactive games to enhance learning.

SAP PP Training Session

Parminder conducted a training session on SAP PP, walking participants through an end-to-end production process including demand upload, MRP run, and production order creation. The session included a demonstration of transaction codes MD04 and MD01N, explanation of key concepts like firming indicators and phantom materials, and a practical walkthrough of converting planned orders to production orders. Participants were assigned to complete a document using the demonstrated process and share it on LinkedIn as a PDF, while also being reminded to utilize the AI Learning Hub and Content Library for additional learning resources.
