The acronym for SAP Production Planning is SAP PP. It is a module that addresses many facets of production planning and control within the SAP ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. Demand forecasting, material planning, production scheduling, and shop floor execution are just a few of the areas that SAP PP integrates to help organizations plan and carry out manufacturing processes more efficiently.
