• Key Concepts: 
  Production Request is a document used in SAP Production Planning (PP) to define the production of a material. It contains information such as the quantity of the material to be produced, the production date, and the production order number. The Production Request is created in the system and then sent to the production department for approval. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PP, a Production Request is created by entering the material number, quantity, and production date. Once this information is entered, the Production Request is sent to the production department for approval. Once approved, the Production Request is converted into a Production Order and sent to the shop floor for execution. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Production Request, it is important to ensure that all necessary information is entered correctly. This includes the material number, quantity, and production date. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all approvals are obtained before converting the Production Request into a Production Order.
