SAP Production Planning is one of the key modules in ERP and deals with planning processes, such as capacity planning, material planning, execution of production orders, bill of material, and goods movement.  Production Planning is the process of aligning demand with manufacturing capacity to create production and procurement schedules for finished products and component materials.  It tracks and makes a record of the manufacturing process flows, for example, the planned and actual costs. Also, goods movements from the conversion of raw material to semi-finished goods. It is fully integrated with the other SAP modules: SD, MM, QM, FICO, and PM.  Production planning and control is a predetermined process that plans, manages, and controls the allocation of human resources, raw material, and machinery to achieve maximum efficiency. This helps manufacturers to work smarter by efficiently managing internal resources to meet customer demand
