- Production Planning (PP): Material master, BOMs, routings, work centers, production versions, MRP (including MRP Live in S/4HANA), demand management, and capacity planning.
- Materials Management (MM): Purchasing, release strategies, source determination, inventory management, subcontracting, consignment, stock transport orders, and Logistics Invoice Verification.
