PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA (Advanced

Planning) : A powerful planning and
scheduling tool
 61  58  114,504
History
PP/DS which is the production planning part of SAP APO is now integrated to
SAP S/4HANA from 1610 on-premise onward’s. The migration of PP/DS to SAP
S/4HANA comes with simplifications in CIF infrastructure for master and txn
data with an aligned process integration with SAP S/4HANA. It also comes with a
Fiori based apps for monitoring capacity and a gantt based production
scheduling board. In 1709, it additionally comes with a Fiori app for Shift
maintenance.

Why PP/DS
PP/DS supports various features, that is considered as very advanced features
Sub-daily planning possibilities.

Advanced planning and scheduling features like Finite/ Detailed scheduling,
setup matrix, sequence constraints, Min/Max distances, alternative modes,
propagation of schedule changes across all BOM levels, multilevel material
flow visibility using pegging.
Simulative (what-if) planning capabilities
Industry planning features and advanced algorithms to support Automotive,
mill, process industries etc including
Conti-IO, full pegging, Block Planning, Campaign Planning, Shelf-Life
Heuristics for compact planning, load leveling, closing gaps, … and
heuristic framework
Various optimizers

In case you are upgrading from SAP S/4HANA 1610 to SAP S/4HANA 1809 and
above releases you have to be aware of the simplification item S4TWL –
Performance optimizations for publication of planning orders, as described in
note 2643483
1909 – On-Premise
IMPORTANT : Refer KBA 2867950 for resetting the new publicaiton option.
Installation
PP/DS is available as part of standard installation as part of S/4 core. But you
need to install integrated live cache with HANA data base. Only integrated live
cache option is supported for PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA.
Information on installation and version on live cache can be found in following

notes
2074788 – Patch strategy for SAP HANA-integrated liveCaches
2074843 – Version Matrix for HANA integrated liveCaches
2037585 – Upgrade of SAP-HANA-integrated liveCaches
1686826 – Installation help for installing SCM Optimizers
Sizing
The HANA version of the quick sizer provides help to size your live cache memory
requirements. Navigate to the node “Advanced Prod. planning & sched.” under
“SAP S/4HANA”
Optimizer
PP/DS for S/4HANA also supports optimizer for planning. This needs to be
additionally installed preferably in a separate hardware. For the version refer
S/4HANA Product Availability Matrix.
For optimizer sizing refer the link :
https://websmp209.sap-
ag.de/~sapidb/012002523100010357172015E/SizingSheetPPDSOpt.zip
Licensing
To be able to use Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling for SAP
S/4HANA, you must activate Advanced Planning and Scheduling in the back-end
system. In Customizing, choose Advanced Planning -> Basic Settings -> Activate
Advanced Planning and Scheduling.
Fig 1: Customizing: Activate advanced planning
The features activated by the Advanced Planning and Scheduling switch are not
part of the standard SAP S/4HANA Enterprise license. A dedicated
license, Manufacturing for Planning and Scheduling is required if this switch is
set to Active.
What’s new
PP/DS for S/4HANA has made several improvements Standalone SCM-APO-
PP/DS to simplify CIF in one system, eventhough its not completely eliminated.
Improvements are made in following topics
Harmonized master data

One Material Master (Material master as a CDS view), One Resource
Maintenance
Create, Update for Source of Supply without Queues
Simplified transactional data Integration (The settings are controlled in

customizing by selecting Advanced Planning > Basic Settings > Settings for
Data Transfer)
MRP Live Run with SAP ERP and “Advanced Planning” Materials
Unified Order Conversion Reports
Period-Based consumption adopted for PP/DS
Visually Harmonized screens for PP/DS (HINT: For the list search with
“/sapapo/ “in Fiori apps reference library)
Fiori apps Monitor Capacity Utilization and Production Scheduling Board
For 1709 On -Premise:
Location simplification
Support for combined orders (mainly for Mill industries)
Fiori app for Capacity and shift maintenance
For 1809 On -Premise:
Advanced Planning fields for MRP areas

Customer specific fields support(extensibility) in side panel of Fiori app
Production Scheduling Board
Performance improvement for Order publication to PP

Fig 3: One Workcenter maintiainance
Fig 4: Settings for data transfer.
Implementation considerations
The concept for PP/DS for S/4HANA starts with classifying if a material is
relevant for advanced planning or not.
It is recommended that all downstream materials should be Advanced Planning-

relevant if planned together with MRP Live. This means the data modelling should
be such that once a material at one BOM level is PP/DS-relevant (Advanced
Planning-relevant), then the materials above that BOM level should also PP/DS-
relevant (Advanced Planning-relevant). This is to ensure that depended demands
are also in liveCache or PP/DS.
In addition to this you also needs to maintain advanced planning flag for work
centers.
Once this is done, you can transfer PDS with transaction CURTOADV_CREATE (in
the SAP Easy Access Menu, select Logistics > Master Data > PDS for Advanced
Planning) to enable PDS transfer to PP/DS
Most of the Order and batches are always enabled to be integrated once a
material is classified as Advanced Planning. The settings are controlled in
customizing by selecting Advanced Planning > Basic Settings > Settings for Data
Transfer. In case some order types need not be needed to be integrated(eg:
Production order only), uncheck unnecessary items
In most of the common cases of Sales Scheduling Agreement, if delivery

schedules are managed in SAP S/4HANA, and not in PP/DS, you need to unflag
check box SD Sched. Agmt.
Note: All objects that needs to be in PP/DS is not simplified to be integrated

without integration model, that includes
Plant(1610 only)
Source of supply for external procurement(purchase info record, contracts,
scheduling agreements)
Classes and characteristics in case of using CDP(characteristics depended
planning) using integration model for organisational area
Setup groups
Maintenance and network orders(material Independed)
more.. (HINT: To see what all objects needs integration model in Txn CFM1,
and in Logical System male the entry of same logical system(own logical
system) and press ENTER)
It is recommended to read the initial sections of note 2382787 where it is

mentioned in detail on how to integrate the objects to PP/DS for S/4HANA.
As in Standalone SCM-APO-PP/DS, in case you are using CDP configuration, you

need to set this client depended settings.
Note : “Standalone SCM-APO” and PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA can be used
together, but the data modelling should ensure that there is no data dependency.
In case you need to replicate the Forecast released from APO DP to S/4HANA
also to be replicated to PP/DS for SAP S/4 HANA, you need to do do a custom
development.
You need to added a small code snippet in the order inbound user exit in S/4
where the CIF-reconciliation function for that object which was processed. This
means you are exactly doing automatically what CCR is doing.
Only active model is supported in PP/DS for S/4HANA.
PPM is not supported in PP/DS for S/4HANA. So it will be needed to migrate

from PPM to PDS. It could be also achieved in the source system before
migration. This can effect standard support for
Parameter efficiency
Extended order generation (EOG)
Multiple output planning (MOP)
Since only PDS is possible in PP/DS for S/4HANA, the support for the above
functionalities can only be supported with help of BADI implementation
In S/4HANA, production versions are mandatory for in-house production

sources.
Material master changes

While migrating to from Standalone SCM-APO-PP/DS, the main change you
notice would be that the material master is not maintainable in PP/DS for active
planning versions. This will have an impact on your migration and modelling of
PP/DS.
Its important to note that the mapping is done with a redirect CDS view and is
also have no option to change standard mapping, event though the product
master can be extensible with new fields.
I recommend to verify the standard mapping and see if this is matching with you
modelling blue print before implementation. The mapping is available at SAP
Note 2393581
Its important to note that there are some fields that are defaulted in PP/DS for
S/4HANA due to simplification reasons. Few major ones are below
TABLE : MATLOC:
CONVH PP/DS Horizon in Alternative : use value from

Calendar Days Model
CTHOR Requirements Used by standard heuristic

TABLE: MATLOTSZ
/SAPAPO/REORD_METHOD Reorder If reorder day’s supply is

Point maintained in Advanced
Method planning tab, then, reorder
point procedure 2. (reorder
supply) can be used by
heuristics SAP_PP_002
(planning of standard lot
sizes).
/SAPAPO/TARGET_METHOD Target Use Always from product

Stock master. User Option available
Level in Heuristics. You have to
Method maintain if target day’s
supply in Advanced planning
tab in
heuristics SAP_PP_002
(planning of standard lot
sizes).
In addition it is to be noted that PP/DS product master(Transaction

/SAPAPO/MAT1) is read-only for active planning versions, but can be used for
maintaining simulation depended parameters for inactive planning versions
Modelling customer and vendor product-

locations
There is no standard way to have product at customer and vendor locations. This
will impact you if non supported processes like VMI is used.
Alternatives:
An alternative to evaluate would be to model customer and vendor locations as

storage location MRP area, if modelling is made in a way that only one plant is
supplying to customer or vendor locations. With this it would be still possible to
have visibility on the customer or vendor locations. It should be noted that in this
case MRP areas should be used as a stock transfer to production plant and not
as a production location.
It should be noted that the modelling should fit to storage location modelling
support in S/4HANA and standard PP/DS. Locations corresponding to Storage
location MRP areas (location type 1007) and subcontracting MRP areas (location
type 1050) are planned before planning the corresponding plant locations MRP
live. Also MRP live will not support planning with stock transfer between MRP
areas
Local Product/Work center Creations

PP/DS specific product locations and work centers are not possible to be
created. This means that all products and work centers that needs to be needs to
be enabled to with “Advanced Planning” flag to be used in PP/DS for SAP
S/4HANA.
Most of the resource master data do not need any maintenance from PP/DS
resource master(/SAPAPO/RES01). But PP/DS specific features like block
maintenance needs to be performed from PP/DS resource master
To create a Handling Resource for Storage Location and subcontracting MRP

areas, the report /SAPAPO/COPY_RESOURCE_HU can be used
Forecast Management
Since PP/DS is the only APO solution embedded with S/4AHANA, it it required to
have forecast management and creation in S/4HANA and integrate that with
PP/DS. You will have to adopt you business process to achieve this.
Note that characteristics based forecasts while planning with characteristics for
CDP and CBF is not supported.
In case you need to replicate the Forecast released from APO DP to S/4HANA
also to be replicated to to PP/DS for SAP S/4 HANA, you need to do do a custom
development.
You need to added a small code snippet in the order inbound user exit in S/4
where the CIF-reconciliation function for that object which was processed. This
means you are exactly doing automatically what CCR is doing.
Forecast Consumption
Consumption period is calculated in calendar days in PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA
and in working days in SAP S/4HANA.
Updated Info : You can use BAdI /SAPAPO/BADI_FC_CSP_CLNDR to associate a

calendar in PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA to use calendar days
Weekly, Monthly and user-defined consumption from standalone SCM-APO-

PP/DS is not supported for PP/DS for S/4HANA.
In addition Forecast Consumption for sales orders for characteristics-based

forecasts while planning with characteristics for CDP and CBF are no longer
supported.
Alternatives:
A new consumption type “5 – Period-Based Consumption“ is also supported

which will support Forecast periods into account for consumption. For more
details refer SAP Note 2567437 – Forecast consumption with mode 5 (Period-
Based Consumption) for Advanced Planning materials
It is recommended to read section “Forecast Consumption” of SAP

note 2382787 for details.
Subcontracting
Subcontracting is modeled with subcontracting MRP areas for components in
PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA, inline with S/4HANA modelling. Subcontracting is only
supported with rough cut planning. So a finite planning of subcontractor is not
possible
Also it needs to be noted that subcontracting location type 1050 is now

mandatory.
the modelling of subcontracting is changed from standalone PP/DS and is not

modeled with subcontracting MRP areas for components. It is recommended to
check section “Modeling considerations” in SAP note 2518497 for details.
Alternatives:
In case it is needed to have finite scheduling model for subcontracting some work
around like below could be evaluated.
A solution could be designed with a dedicated storage location for each

Subcontractor, a routing with 2 operations, one with external key just for PR
creation and one with fake internal key for resource capacity management and
order scheduling.
BAdi’s and User Exits

PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA has made BAdi’s, Enh.Spots and user exits removed,
especially true for areas in
Master data (not just material master)

Many CIF APO inbound that changes just data
Txn data that is having scope outside that of only PPDS.
Only process related BAdi’s, Enh.Spots and user exits and fully PP/DS specific
txn data BAdi’s, Enh.Spots and user exits are available.
The main idea is that there is no possibility of changing mapping that makes data
different in ECC and in PP/DS, as now its one system.
It is recommended to review your custom code implementation, before going for

a migration.
Safety Stock as a Live-Cache element

In stand alone APO-PP/DS , we had following options.
Virtual Safety Stock Elements that is used to cover unexpectedly high

requirements. This also helps to allow planner to see that in case of a delayed
receipt, how much is covered immediately by safety stock and how much is
delayed. Focused in planning.
The option Real Safety Stock Requirements that is needed to resolve delays or
problems in production
Real Safety Stock Requirements are not supported in PP/DS for S/4HANA.
Alternatives:
What is supported in PP/DS for S/4HANA is custom heuristics and heuristics

framework. You could simply copy the existing heuristics from somewhere and
remove the check of safety stock from /sapapo/mvm in the heuristics(also make
customizing of safety stock in /SAPAPO/MVM initial, if needed) and use this
heuristics to create real safety stock.
MRP
PP/DS for S/4HANA in standard supports only planning and scheduling with
advanced planning. It is recommended to use MRP live, in case you do not have
restrictions mentioned in “MRP Live” section of SAP note 2382787 as classic
MRP is in compatibility list.
In general customer use-cases comes with derivations and below are the cases
used.
Case : PP/DS with split planning( Not with MRP live)
Use (MRP classic(MD01) + PP/DS planning Run). Needs a setup similar to MRP
type X0 with MRP Procedure “X Without MRP, with BOM explosion” for material
with advanced planning. For PP material use relevant MRP Procedure
In case using MRP Live(to plan only for PP materials), you need to implement
BAdI MRP_DISPATCHER_BADI and need to skip the Advanced Planning
materials.
Case : Planning PP/DS materials only in PP and schedule in PP/DS.
Use (MRP classic(MD01) + PPDS planning Run). You need to also use a MRP type
like ‘PD’ , Planning in Planning run or that suits your business need. Use PP/PDS
planing run only for scheduling heuristics.
In case using MRP Live, you need to implement BAdI MRP_DISPATCHER_BADI

and need to route the Advanced Planning materials to plan in PP(probably with
classic ABAP if you need replication, similar to MRP_FORCE_CLASSIC). You need
to also use a Planning procedure like ‘PD’ , Planning in Planning run or that suits
your business need.
Update:
It may be that even rerouting with classic MRP the replication will not happen. In
case of that the options would be to run a report similar to CCR or Initial load
report( /SAPAPO/PPDS_DELTA_ORD_TRANS -might have performance issues
as its full transfer) to integrate the order.
Another practical option would be to use planning method ‘6’ in a new customer
specifc MRP type that woudl reroute the planning to PP, for a PP/DS material.
Case: No planning for PP/DS material
The best option is to have a custom product heuristics that not do anything.
Optionally for MRP live you need to implement BAdI MRP_DISPATCHER_BADI
and need to skip the Advanced Planning materials.You can also evaluate using
MRP type ‘ND’.
Case: Skip planning MRP areas and only Plant locations
Use BAdI “/SAPAPO/RRP_HEUR_DO” and on the BEFORE method, customer has

to filter out the peg areas that has location type “1007
Please note that the above recommendations are purely concept based and is
not tested. It needs to be tested and evaluated independently.
Heuristics and Planning Procedure

Due to the simplification reasons the following heuristics are not supported.
SAP_DEPL_MUL PP/DS Deployment Multiple Products
SAP_DEPL_SNG PP/DS Deployment Single Product
SAP_PP_CTP Planning Shortage Quantities for CTP
SAP_SNP_MULT SNP –> PP/DS Conversion for Many

Prods
SAP_SNP_SNGL Individual Conversion SNP –> PP/DS
SAP_SNP_LLC Stage-Numbering Algorithm for SNP
SAP_MRP_002 Product Planning (Plan Comp

Immediately)
SAP_PP_MRPDS MRP-Based Det. Scheduling: Order

Network
SAP_PP_20 Stage-Numbering Algorithm
SAP_PP_023 Propagation of descriptive char. Values
SAP_PP_018 Create Safety Stock in SAP liveCache
SAP_PP_003 Planning of Shortage Quantities
In addition standard planning procedures, 3-Cover Dependent Requirements

Immediately, 5-Multilevel ATP Check and 7-Length-Based Planning Procedure are
not supported. This is mainly due to non supported CTP and gATP usecases.
However multilevel automatic planning can be used without CTP process using
custom specified planning procedures and heuristics.
Integration with advanced- ATP

gATP is not available/integrated with PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA. The basic
principle followed is that PP/DS for S/4HANA is integrated to advanced-ATP for
planned and production/process orders for component check. In this case,
integration with advanced ATP will not check with orders in liveCache, but with PP
orders instead.
Also for a consistent result, it requires the orders in liveCache to have the same
components as that of the PP orders. This restriction coudl efffect business
processes like CDP, interchangeability etc where PP orders do not have visibility
of PPDS.
In addition, ATP Check for Planned Orders for RPM Products is supported for
component check during order conversion for PP/DS for S/4HANA.
Orders other than planned and production/process orders can rely on the fact
that the advanced-ATP executes an ATP check during conversion anyway, given
appropriate customizing settings in S/4HANA
For details its recommended to check the “Availability to Promise Integration”

section in SAP note 2382787
Migration Options
There is no standard migration tools available yet for To migrate PP/DS for SAP
S/4HANA. But there are few options to help.
Material master could be integrated with MASSD/MM17 transactions by setting

“Advanced Planning” indicator.
For integrating orders, re-transfer report /SAPAPO/PPDS_DELTA_ORD_TRANS

could be used.
There is also a PP/DS migration solution currently delivered through SAP

consultants. Please communicate with your SAP contacts for details on this.
Fiori Apps
Following Fiori apps are delivered with PP/DS for SAP S/4 HANA.
Production Scheduling Board

detail/Apps(‘F2176’)
Monitor Capacity Utilisation :

Monitor Capacity Utilisation – Object page (1709 onwards)

Launching PP/DS applications from

Fiori Launchpad
Certain transactions in PP/DS are supported and tested with new sap
theme(visually harmonised). These transactions can be found in Fiori reference
library with a search string ‘/SAPAPO’. To use this in Fiori launchpad, a tile has to
be created for these transactions.
But, certain PP/DS transactions like production planning board and product
planning table is not enabled for web UI. For this it is still possible to launch the
applications from Fiori launch pad, if NWBC is installed in the system. To see the
details refer to the blog
https://blogs.sap.com/2020/01/06/sap-fiori-for-s-4hana-launch-sap-business-
client-from-sap-fiori-launchpad/
Shift management
From S/4HANA OP1709 onwards there is a Fiori App to manage shifts (Monitor
Capacity Utilization – Object Page) for PP/DS for S/4HANA. This powerful app
helps you to change the shifts and operations in simulation mode and then see
capacity situation/utilization depending on different parameters like order type,
materials to adapt the changes
The Capacity Variants and Definitions for Resources with External Capacity are
disabled in SAP GUI by default, is enabled for editing Monitor Capacity Utilization
Fiori app. This is to prevent data corruption. In case you are not using Monitor
Capacity Utilization Fiori app, for shift maintenance, you can enable this. Refer
note 2598760 for details.
Combined Orders
From S/4HANA OP1709 onwards order combination for production/process
orders are supported. The details can be found in PP/DS Help Landing Page:
To navigate go to S/4 HANA 1709 Landing
Page( https://help.sap.com/s4hana_op_1709 ) and then navigate
to Enterprise Business Applications -> Manufacturing -> Production
Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS)-> extended orders ->
combined order scheduling oand in SAP note 2501607
Integration with stand-alone APO or IBP

Standalone SCM-APO or IBP and PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA can be used together,
but the data modelling should ensure that there is no data
dependency.Integration of orders generated out of Standalone SCM-APO or IBP
to PP/DS for SAP S/4HANA or vice versa is not supported.
From a process point of view both “Standalone SCM-APO” or IBP and PP/DS for
SAP S/4HANA schedules the orders(eg: planned orders), if enabled could create
a recursion.
In case as a custom development you can integrate orders as PIR’s from APO-DP,
APO-SNP or IBP.
The long term planning results (or orders) from IBP or SNP/DP results can be
read and can be written to S/4HANA as (converted into) PIR’s that will be
replicated to PP/DS, if product is advanced planning.
In case of IBP you can use the CPI-DS integration tool to map this. In case of
DP/SNP, it could be a report run. This could be automated to be triggered after an
DP/SNP or IBP planning run.
To write to S/4HANA PP/DS as PIR’s you can use PIR

BAPI(BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CHANGE) or PIR
API(https://api.sap.com/api/API_PLND_INDEP_RQMT_SRV/overview) .
