Custom Solutions for PPDS

Joaquin Perez Barrios. have 20+ years of experience consulting and developing custom solutions to enhance SAP’s production planning and scheduling functionality.

With Tailored ERP Consulting, he now concentrates on developing code for PPDS and ePPDS.

Planning and scheduling can be very specific in each company, and standard configuration and best practices may not be enough to adapt PPDS to the particularities of your products and processes.

ADDV Planner®

The first commercial solution by Tailored ERP is a DDMRP solution for SAP® APO.
ADDV Planner has been evaluated and included in the list of DDMRP compliant software by the Demand Driven Institute, The Global Authority on Demand Driven Education, Training, Certification & Compliance.

We plan to have an ePPDS version ready by 2024 to be followed by a version that will also cover DDMO.

Multiple Options to Improve

SAP offers a wide range of customization options to support your process initiative.
I have delivered all range of tailored solution from the simple to the highly complex using these options.

Customized Ad-Ons

There is no limit of what can be done using SAP’s ABAP language. Brand new functionality can be developed from scratch or can be based on modified versions of standard transactions and programs (for example custom heuristics). Code is open so it can be supported by your IT team.

Operational interactive reports

SAP List view (ALV) reports and ABAP Queries can be quickly implemented to dynamically collect data from different sources, calculate, compare and flag alerts. Then jump to the required transaction or do predefined actions with just one click.

BAdIs and User Exits

These are predefined points in the code with a programmable subroutine. Customer-specific logic can be used to check or modify the data being processed. SAP has been progressively adding more of these options.

SAP Enhancements

SAP Enhancements Framework is used to create and organize extensions to SAP’s original code. Custom code can be added before or after any subroutine or function to modify the system behaviour.

Unusual Standard Functionality

SAP has powerful functionalities that may not be included in a first wave implementation to reduce complexity and risk or for lack of knowledge by the consultants. For instance, Variant Configuration can dramatically reduce the required number of BOM and Routings.

Excel Templates with Macros

Many users extract SAP data to Excel to use its flexibility for data analysis and its graphic engine. This makes sense in cases where SAP cannot provide similar functionality without substantial work. Users can be provided with a well designed Excel template using VBA.

Operational Reports

Tailored reports that bring you collected and pre-processed information to decide and take action. If the solution is predefined by business rules, the system can take automatic action by itself, running transactions and changing fields values, running background jobs, etc.

Operational reports can run periodically in the background, solving problems and adapting the system to changing conditions.
