Implementing Manufacturing in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition is a learning journey focused on implementing and working with manufacturing processes in SAP S/4HANA. It combines implementation fundamentals with manufacturing planning, production execution, master data, capacity planning, and advanced planning capabilities.
The course covers both discrete and process manufacturing. It progresses from implementation activities and manufacturing fundamentals into supply chain planning, demand management, MRP, production orders, process orders, and manufacturing master data.
Advanced topics include predictive MRP (pMRP), MRP Live, demand-driven replenishment, embedded SAP S/4HANA PP/DS, detailed scheduling, optimization, and capacity planning.
This course follows the attached SAP learning journey and begins with the implementation activities required for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition. Learners explore implementation teams, system landscapes, system setup, users and authorizations, fit-to-standard workshops, business-process validation, SAP Fiori Launchpad, application customization, integrations, data migration, and testing.
The manufacturing content then develops an understanding of supply chain planning, demand management, MRP, capacity planning, production planning, and shopfloor execution. Separate learning areas address discrete and process manufacturing and their respective order lifecycles.
The journey also covers manufacturing master data and advanced production planning, including pMRP, MRP Live, DDMRP, PP/DS, detailed scheduling, optimization, and capacity leveling.
Learners develop a structured understanding of how manufacturing implementation, planning, and execution are organized in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition.
They can connect implementation activities with manufacturing processes, understand the master data supporting planning and execution, and follow production and process orders through their relevant lifecycle stages.
They also gain coverage of advanced planning concepts including pMRP, MRP Live, demand-driven replenishment, PP/DS, detailed scheduling, optimization, and capacity planning.
