1 Introduction

1.1 About this Document

The SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for planning & scheduling capability of SAP Digital Supply Chain Management,
edition for SAP S/4HANA (DSC system) is not a legal successor of the PP/DS component from the SAP SCM Server.
A standard migration path does not exist for data migration and customer code migration from the SAP SCM Server
to the PP/DS component. However, you can achieve this using a customer-specific implementation project.
This guide describes the detailed configuration for using the SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for planning & scheduling
capability of SAP Digital Supply Chain Management, edition for SAP S/4HANA (DSC system), in a side-by-side
deployment with one or more additional ERP systems.
In the DSC system, you only use Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) (aka Advanced Planning,
embedded Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling, embedded PP/DS). In the ERP system, which can be
another SAP S/4HANA system or an SAP ERP system, you can use all available components.

Note
This guide describes the settings that are only specific to the tested scenarios. Depending on your business
processes, additional configuration settings and master data may be required.
For current constraints and restrictions, see SAP Note 2997719.

Check Settings in the ERP System

1. In customizing of the ERP system, open activity Production → Production Planning → Demand Management →
Planned Independent Requirements → Planning Strategy → Define Strategy and check the details of the strategy
you are using for your business scenario.
For example, you are using strategy Planning without final assembly (50).
2. On the Details screen for the strategy, check the requirements class and the allocation indicator that is specified
under Requirements type of customer requirements.

For example, for strategy 50, the requirements type of customer requirements is Make-to-order with
consumption (KEV), and the requirements class is MTO val. with cons. (045). The allocation indicator is Consume
planning w/o assembly (2).

Specify Requirement Strategies

1. In customizing of the PP/DS system, open activity Advanced Planning → Specify Requirements Strategies.
2. For the requirements strategy you are using in for your materials, ensure that the correct category group is
assigned, and that the assignment mode number is the same as the allocation indicator number in the ERP
system.

For example, if you are using Planning Without Final Assembly (30), select the Assignment Mode that fits to the
allocation indicator setting in the ERP system (e.g. 2 - Assign customer requirements to planning without
assembly) and assign category group K01.

Caution
The descriptive text for the assignment mode can be different from the text for the allocation indicator. It is only
important, that the technical values are the same.

3.3 Customizing for Material Master Data in Both

Systems
Ensure that the customizing settings for the following activities are the same both in the ERP system and in the
PP/DS system.
In both systems, open the customizing path Logistics - General → Material Master and compare the following
settings.

Field Selection
Open customizing activity Field Selection → Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens in both systems. Ensure that all
fields that are set as Required Entry in the PP/DS system are also defined as required entries in the ERP system,
otherwise the integration might fail if the data is missing in the ERP system.
Fields that are needed in the ERP system for other business purposes but that are not relevant for PP/DS, should be
defined as Optional Entry in the PP/DS system.

Example
In the ERP system, Checking Group for Availability Check (MARC_MTVFP) is defined as a required entry for raw
material (ROH). Since the PP/DS system does not support Available-to-Promise (ATP) features, this entry
should be set to optional.

Material Types
1. In customizing of both systems, choose Basic Settings → Material Types → Define Attributes of Material Types.
2. For each material type that you are using, choose Details.
3. Ensure that the settings in both systems match except for the setting Value updating in subsection
Quantity/value updating.
In the ERP system, the setting can be defined per valuation area in the Quantity/value updating view according to
your business needs.
In the PP/DS system however, you set the Value updating to In no valuation area or deselect the Value Update
checkbox for all valuation areas in the Quantity/value updating view.

Settings for Key Fields

1. In customizing of both systems, choose the activities under Settings for Key Fields.
2. Define all settings according to your business needs.
3. Ensure that all the value lists in both systems are the same.

Organizational Areas
If you are using classes and characteristics, assign the classes and characteristics to an organizational area before
they can be transferred via the Core Interface (CIF).
In both systems, use transaction Maintain Class Types (O1CL) to create the same organizational areas.

4 Setup and Integration of Master Data

Basically, all master data is created in the ERP system and the master data that is relevant for PP/DS is transferred to
the PP/DS system via Core Interface (CIF). This means that, for the distribution of master data, the direction is
always from ERP system to PP/DS system.

Note
The integration via CIF only transfers the data that is relevant for PP/DS. Material or work center attributes that
are not relevant for PP/DS are not made available in the PP/DS system.

Master data changes made directly in the PP/DS system, will in most cases be overwritten with the data from the
ERP system by the CIF integration. Therefore, we recommend changing master data only in the ERP system.
Nevertheless, some master data and master data attributes cannot be transferred using CIF and therefore must be
maintained in the PP/DS system as described in chapter 4.1 Manual Creation of Master Data in PP/DS System (p.
23).
After the manual setup is done, you create CIF integration models for all master data objects as described in chapter
4.2 Master Data Integration (p. 28).

Note
If you are using classes and characteristics, the process is different as classes and characteristics must be
transferred via Application Link Enabling (ALE). See chapter 7.1 Master Data Integration with Classes and
Characteristics (p.33).

Classes and Characteristics ALE/CIF Classes and Characteristics

Caution
If you connect multiple ERP systems to one PP/DS system, ensure that the master data is unique in each ERP
system, to ensure that the master data is not overwritten in the PP/DS system and that related transactional
data is sent back to the correct ERP system.

4.2.3 Define Additional Master Data Attributes in the PP/DS

System
If your ERP system is not an SAP S/4HANA system, you can use the following Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to transfer
attributes for PP/DS that cannot be maintained in the ERP system:
• Change Product Data Before CIF Outbound to Connected SAP S/4HANA System
(CIF_S4_BADI_PRODUCT_OUTBOUND)
The default BAdI implementation sets the PP Planning Procedure to Manual Without Check (2), if it’s not yet
defined.
Other product attributes that you can transfer via the BAdI are, for example, attributes for Production Planning
Optimization (PPO):
o Priority
o Safety Stock Penalty
o Product-Dependent Storage Costs
o Goods Issue Processing Time
o Procurement Costs
• Change Work Center Data Before CIF Outbound to Connected SAP S/4HANA System
(CIF_S4_WORK_CENTER_OUTBOUND)
The default implementation of this BAdI activates the work centers for Advanced Planning (PP/DS).
After the first transfer via CIF, the following attributes of materials or work centers must be defined manually in the
PP/DS system as they are not transferred via CIF:

Material Attributes

Attributes Maintenance View/Transaction

Penalties for PPO

Delay Penalty for customer demand and
forecast demand
Maximum Delay Penalty for customer Transaction /SAPAPO/PPO_DPEN
demand and forecast demand
Non-Delivery Penalty for customer demand
and forecast demand

Time-dependent safety stock penalties for PPO Transaction /SAPAPO/TDS

Work Center Attributes

Attributes Maintenance View/Transaction

Transaction Change Work Center (CR02) → Capacity Header → APO

PPO Capacity Constraints
Resource view → PPO Capacity Constraints

Note
If you change work center data after the initial transfer via CIF, the change is only transferred if at the same time
data on the Capacities view that is relevant for PP/DS is changed. If your ERP system is an SAP S/4HANA
system, changes are also transferred, if intervals or shifts are changed at the same time.

5 Integration of Transactional Data

For the integration of transactional and master data between the ERP system and the PP/DS system, you use CIF
integration models. The same CIF integration models transfer the transactional data that contains classification and
configuration information. The integration of transactional data is bi-directional for most object types.
Create CIF integration models for all object types you need as described in chapter 4.2 Master Data Integration (p.
28).

Note
In the PP/DS system, the transactional data is only available in the PP/DS transactions and not in classical PP
transactions like the Stock/Requirements List (MD04).

Creating Reduced Message Types

You use this procedure to select segments and fields of the basic types for master data that you want to integrate. By
reducing the number of segments and fields, you also reduce the number of customizing tables (containing allowed
field values for master data) that need to be synchronized between both systems.
Basic types for master data are supplied in the standard SAP System. If you want to reduce the basic types, you use
transaction BD53 to select the segments and fields that you want to integrate. To do this you activate the segments
and fields that you require and generate a new message type.
Mandatory segments and mandatory fields cannot be deactivated.

Note
If you change a reduced message type after you have set up filters, some entries may be reset. In this case, you
will receive a warning in transaction BD53. You should then test the transfer again. For example, you must check
new entries in transaction BD59 as they may be removed in case of changes of an existing reduced message
type.

Note
If you use Data Replication Framework (DRF) for the integration of customers and vendors, you do not need to
create the reduced message types for DEBMAS and CREMAS.

7.4 Additional Settings for Subcontracting

We support the following Subcontracting scenarios:
• Subcontracting with Source Location in PP/DS
• Subcontracting with Scheduling Agreements in PP/DS
• Subcontracting with Third-party Provision of Components in PP/DS
• Subcontracting with Phantom Assembly in PP/DS
• Subcontracting without Source Location in PP/DS

Note
To use the Subcontracting without Source Location in PP/DS scenario, you must first implement the SAP Note
3133251.

If you want to implement a subcontracting scenario, you need to make additional settings as described in the
following section. Currently, subcontracting with source location is the only subcontracting scenario that is
supported in this release. To understand the restrictions in subcontracting scenarios, see SAP Note 3073717.

Create Business Partners

1. Create a business partner in the PP/DS system with role Vendor (for example, FLVN00) as described under
4.1.5 Create Business Partners (p. 25).
2. Select an account group with external number assignment, for example, LIEF.
3. Use the same vendor number as the vendor number that is used in the ERP system on the Vendor: General Data
view.

Create MRP Areas (for Subcontracting with Source Location)

1. Create an MRP area in the PP/DS system as described under 4.1.7 Create MRP Areas for Subcontracting (p. 25)
and assign the vendor. Ensure that the names of the MRP areas in the ERP and the PP/DS system are identical.
2. Add the MRP area to material master of the relevant components in both systems.

Create Locations
Create locations for plants, MRP areas, and vendors in the PP/DS system as described under 4.1.8 Create Locations
(p. 26).

Integration Model
Create and activate an integration model for subcontracting in the ERP system.
Ensure that the Production Data Structure (PDS) with type PP/DS Subcont. and the relevant info record are included
in the same integration model.

Caution
Don't include the vendor in the integration model!

7.5 Supported and Unsupported Scenarios for

Planning Products in the ERP and/or PP/DS
Systems
In a side-by-side deployment of the PP/DS system with an ERP system, you can plan the materials and components
present in the BoM structure either in the ERP and/or PP/DS systems.
In a BoM structure, if a BoM header material is relevant for planning in the PP/DS system and its components are
relevant for planning either in the ERP and/or PP/DS systems, you must perform the following:
1. In the PP/DS system, use Product Heuristic to plan the BoM header material and all its components that are
relevant for planning in the PP/DS system.
2. After the PP/DS system saves the planning results, ensure that the updated transactional data is available in the
ERP system. For more information, see chapter 5 Integration of Transactional Data (p. 31).
3. Ensure that the ERP system creates the requirements for components that are relevant for planning in the ERP
system.
4. In the ERP system, plan the materials and components that are relevant for planning in the ERP system.

Caution
In a BoM structure, for a BoM header material relevant for planning in the ERP system, you cannot plan the
components that are relevant for planning in the PP/DS system.

7.5.1 Examples of Supported and Unsupported Planning

Scenarios
The examples given below provide a better understanding of the supported and unsupported planning scenarios.

Context
In the examples given below, the materials ERP-RAW-MAT and ERP-FINISHED-MAT:
• Are created in the ERP system and are not relevant for planning by Advanced Planning in the PP/DS system.
• Are not transferred to the PP/DS system using Core Interface.
• Exist only in the ERP system together with their transactional data.

In the examples given below, the materials DSC-RAW-MAT and DSC-FINISHED-MAT:

• Are created in the ERP system and are relevant for planning by Advanced Planning in the PP/DS system.
• Are transferred to the PP/DS system using CIF.
• Have the MRP Type X0.

Example 1: Supported Planning Scenario

BoM Header Material

DSC-FINISHED-MAT

BoM Component BoM Component

DSC-RAW-MAT ERP-RAW-MAT

This example explains how you can plan the components that are relevant for planning either in the ERP and/or
PP/DS systems and have a BoM header material that is relevant for planning in the PP/DS system.

Note
In this example, the Production Data Structure (PDS) will display only DSC-RAW-MAT as a component under
DSC-FINISHED-MAT.

When a demand for DSC-FINISHED-MAT is placed:

1. The PP/DS system plans DSC-FINISHED-MAT and DSC-RAW-MAT using Product Heuristic.
2. After the PP/DS system saves the planning results, the updated transactional data should become available in
the ERP system.
3. The ERP system then creates a requirement for ERP-RAW-MAT based on the BoM structure present in the ERP
system.
4. The ERP system plans the component ERP-RAW-MAT, either using MRP Live (if the ERP system is an SAP
S/4HANA system) or any of the MDXX transactions.

Example 2: Unsupported Planning Scenario

BoM Header Material

ERP-FINISHED-MAT

BoM Component BoM Component

DSC-RAW-MAT ERP-RAW-MAT

This example explains why you cannot plan the components that are relevant for planning in the PP/DS system and
have a BoM header material that is relevant for planning in the ERP system.

If a demand for ERP-FINISHED-MAT is placed:

1. The ERP system plans ERP-FINISHED-MAT and ERP-RAW-MAT, either using MRP Live (if the ERP system is an
SAP S/4HANA system) or any of the MDXX transactions.
2. The ERP system creates a requirement for DSC-RAW-MAT in the ERP system, but does not plan it in the ERP
system because DSC-RAW-MAT has MRP Type X0.
3. The requirement for DSC-RAW-MAT depends on the planned order created for ERP-FINISHED-MAT. Therefore,
because ERP-FINISHED-MAT and its transactional documents are not transferred to the PP/DS system, the
requirement for DSC-RAW-MAT is not available in the PP/DS system.
4. Now, because the requirement for DSC-RAW-MAT is not available in the PP/DS system, it cannot be planned in
the PP/DS system. And, because DSC-RAW-MAT has MRP Type X0 in the ERP system, it cannot be planned in
the ERP system as well.

Conclusion
In a BoM structure:
If you plan a component in the PP/DS system, then you must plan all components up to the BoM header
material in the PP/DS system.
If you plan a component in the ERP system, then you must plan all its sub-components.

7.6 Integrate Material Master Data with MRP Areas

1. Create an MRP area in the ERP system and the PP/DS system as described in chapters 4.1.6 Create MRP Areas
for Plant/Storage Locations (p.25) and 4.1.7 Create MRP Areas for Subcontracting (p.25). You must create the
MRP Areas in the ERP system and the PP/DS system with identical names.
2. In the ERP system, add the MRP area to the material master using transaction MM01.
3. Create an integration model using transaction CFM1 to enable an initial transfer of the MRP area data for
materials from the ERP system to the PP/DS system via Core Interface (CIF).

Caution
After the initial transfer, if you update the MRP area data for materials, the changes to the MRP area data for
materials will not be transferred to the PP/DS system using business transaction events (BTEs). This is
because currently the transfer of updates to the MRP area data for materials using BTE is not supported. For
more information on transferring this data to the PP/DS system, see SAP Note 1875164.

Note
If you want to restrict the transfer of one or more MRP areas in the material master, use the following BAdI:
CIF_S4_BADI_PRODUCT_OUTBOUND

7.7 Real-time Integration of SAP Integrated Business

Planning (IBP) with the DSC System
You can use SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) 2211 and above for Supply Chain order-based planning in
combination with the DSC system by implementing the SAP Note 3250473.
With SAP IBP 2211 and above, you can perform operational supply planning (OSP), which allows you to create a
rough-cut plan to optimize the use of your supply chain network. In the DSC system, you can use Advanced Planning
(PP/DS) to optimize the use of the production resources in your plants and finitely schedule planned orders and
production or process orders.
The DSC system performs the short-term detailed planning and scheduling of an SAP IBP production plan. The
changes to the planned dates and times of all supply elements are available in SAP IBP order-based planning.
For more information, see Using Order-Based Planning with Flexible Master Data.
