PPDS : Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling

 

Introduction to PPDS (Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling) 

 

Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling(PPDS) on SAP S/4HANA is the product running on SAP S/4HANA.  Production planning and detailed scheduling is a tool in APO(Advanced Planning and Optimization) which takes care of planning and scheduling considering the capacities of various resources.

 

 

 

Production scheduling Board app is the reflection of /SAPAPO/CDPS0 transaction in the SAPGUI. Unlike the traditional scheduling board which we have in the SAPGUI, this FIORI app has a limited and most important features. This was developed and is available from 1610 release of S4HANA.

The main advantages of this app are

1. Easy to use


2. Browser application(which means access from anywhere and any device)


3. Look and feel factor are good


4. UI 5 based app

Once, the app is configured for your landscape you can use it for the following purposes.

1. Display the operations of a resource(s)


2. Create an order


3. Delete an order


4. Change source of supply


5. Run the standard heuristics


6. Display the overload of the resource


7. Stretch or shrink an operation and so on

 

So, basically you can perform almost all the activities that you can perform in the production scheduling board in the SAPGUI but with certain limitations.

 

Let me run you through how does the app look like and its features.
