Can you explain the difference between MRP (Material Requirements Planning) and PPDS in SAP APO?
Answer / Kirti Shrivastava
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) in SAP APO is responsible for generating and monitoring purchase orders, while Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPDS) focuses on production planning and scheduling. MRP calculates the required materials based on sales orders, work schedules, and stock levels, whereas PPDS creates a detailed plan over time for each production order by breaking down tasks into individual steps and allocating resources.
