Advanced Planning Capabilities – Built for SAP Users
The PPC Sequencer Package is part of our modular Production Planning Cockpit Suite (PPC) – a scalable planning suite designed for integrated, capacity-aware production planning in SAP environments. The PPC is an integrated product, which offers a package of advanced planning functions in addition to SAP S/4HANA and embedded PP/DS — from availability checks and capacity levelling to detailed sequencing and simulation — all in one cohesive, user-friendly environment.
Why the PPC Sequencer Package?
SAP has announced the discontinuation of the CM25 transaction. Our PPC Sequencer Package provides a powerful, future-ready alternative, retaining key usability elements while delivering significant improvements in planning efficiency, visualization, and automation.
What is Included?
The PPC Sequencer Package combines intuitive planning tools with robust technical foundations to deliver faster, clearer decision-making.
- Full-screen graphic views (dispatched resources & operations or orders & operations)
- Combination of graphics and tabular views
- Pegged requirement – calculation of due dates (single-level pegging between order and demand)
- Component availability checks (single-level components) according to PPC logic
- Alert Monitor
Planning Strategy:
- Flexible planning algorithms for finite sequence planning.
- Consideration of due dates.
- Drag & drop functionality (tabular and graphical views)
- Alternative resources using resource group logic
Key Benefits
1. Finite Capacity Planning from the Start
The PPC plans within your actual resource restrictions – removing overloads.
2. Automated Scheduling & Intelligent Sequencing
Predefined heuristics and sequencing rules minimize manual effort and improve production flow.
3. Synchronized Material & Capacity Planning
Real-time availability checks ensure you are not planning with unavailable components and finite capacity planning features ensure you can meet your production deadlines by optimizing the use of your resources.
4. Interactive Visual Board
Gantt-style interface with filters, color-coding, pegging-visibility and drag & drop functionality for fast and informed planning decisions. See more information with the combination of different views - tabular and graphical. Allowing you to cross-reference data at glance.
5. Built-in Alert Monitoring
Proactive alerts for delays, shortages, and overloads help planners focus where it matters most.
6. Cross-Plant, Multi-Resource Planning
Supports planning across plants and order networks – ideal for global or complex manufacturing setups.
7. Completely integrated into SAP S/4HANA
It works with the same objects and data model of your SAP S/4HANA system. Quickly implemented because of this. Pre-configured settings out of the box. You can immediately work with it with the pre-configured settings, but it is also completely customizable.
The PPC Sequencer Package is one of several interconnected modules within the Production Planning Cockpit Suite, including:
- PPC ATP Planner – Availability check, multi-level network rescheduling, and delivery date calculation
- PPC Rough-Cut Dispatcher – Medium to long-term strategic planning
- PPC Master Planner – Overview MRP planning situation with manual order creation and simulative demand coverage with capacity integration
- PPC Production Control – Shop floor tracking and execution
- PPC Constraints – Modelling additional planning restrictions (constraints) and consideration in planning algorithms, product allocation
From Integration to Innovation
Seamless Integration
The PPC Sequencer Package runs within SAP’s ABAP environment, ensuring compatibility with existing enhancements.
Ready to Modernize Your Planning?
The PPC Sequencer Package offers the capability to plan smarter and adapt faster – all with minimal disruption to your current processes.
Note on the Relevance of Compatibility Packages for the PPC Bar Chart Graphic:
In the SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP Private Edition (Private Cloud) with a RISE agreement, the PPC Bar Chart graphic falls within the compatibility scope and can therefore be used until the end of 2030. For SAP S/4HANA On-Premise, there is no time restriction.
