OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Planners need to balance customer demand, materials and capacity. Overnight planning runs and disconnected spreadsheets make it hard to respond to change.

SAP S/4HANA Production Planning provides MRP Live for fast planning on the HANA database, production and process orders, capacity planning and production confirmations, integrated with procurement, quality and costing.

Demand-driven MRP and production planning and detailed scheduling (PP/DS) extend planning for more complex needs.

Webtel implements each module using SAP Activate and fit-to-standard workshops. Your key users see the standard processes in a working system, agree what fits and what does not, and help test the result. Extensions are built side by side, on SAP Business Technology Platform where appropriate, to keep the core clean.

What Makes SAP S/4HANA Different

Finance and logistics share one source of truth, including the Universal Journal.

Real-time

Reports and planning run on live data instead of overnight batches.

SAP Fiori

Role-based apps that work on desktop, tablet and phone.

Production planning and detailed scheduling, embedded in S/4HANA for advanced, constraint-based scheduling.

Yes, with recipes and process orders.

What is demand-driven MRP?+

A planning method that uses strategic buffers to reduce stock and improve flow.

Can we implement one module at a time?+

S/4HANA modules are closely integrated, so most projects implement core finance and logistics together. Some areas can be added in later phases, and we help you plan the order.
