• Key Concepts: 
  PP-firmed is a term used in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It refers to the process of confirming a production plan, which is the result of a planning run. This confirmation process ensures that the plan is feasible and can be implemented. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use PP-firmed, you must first create a production plan. This can be done by running a planning run in the PPS component. Once the plan has been created, it must be confirmed using the PP-firmed process. This will ensure that the plan is feasible and can be implemented. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When running a planning run, it is important to ensure that all relevant data is included in the plan. This will help to ensure that the PP-firmed process produces an accurate and feasible plan. Additionally, it is important to review the results of the PP-firmed process before implementing the plan. This will help to ensure that any potential issues are identified and addressed before implementation. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The PP-firmed process is closely related to other processes in the PPS component, such as capacity planning and material requirements planning (MRP). Additionally, it is important to understand how these processes interact with each other in order to ensure that production plans are accurate and feasible.
