PP Master Data
Foundational and intermediate coverage of PP Master Data: the material master, bill of material (BOM), work center/resource, and routing/recipe objects that underpin production planning and execution, including their business purpose, configuration touchpoints, cross-object relationships, and how they drive MRP, capacity, and costing downstream.
Overview
Foundational and intermediate coverage of PP Master Data: the material master, bill of material (BOM), work center/resource, and routing/recipe objects that underpin production planning and execution, including their business purpose, configuration touchpoints, cross-object relationships, and how they drive MRP, capacity, and costing downstream.
Lessons in this topic
- Understanding the Core PP Master Data ObjectsAn introduction to the four foundational PP master data objects—material master, bill of material, work center, and routing—and why they exist as separate but linked structures.
- Integration and Relationships Between PP Master Data ObjectsA deeper look at how production versions, BOM/routing selection logic, and cross-module links (MM, CO, PS) tie PP master data together during MRP and order execution.
- Work Centers and Routings: Configuration and IntegrationLearn how work centers and routings are structured, configured and linked together to drive capacity planning, scheduling and costing in production orders.
- Production Versions, Alternative BOMs and Engineering Change ManagementMaster how production versions tie BOM alternatives to routings, how alternative BOMs and quota arrangements are governed, and how engineering change management controls master data versioning safely.
- PP Master Data Architecture: Governance, Global Templates, and Migration Strategy at ScaleArchitect-level guidance for designing enterprise-wide PP master data governance, global template harmonization, and migration/cutover strategy across ECC and S/4HANA landscapes.
