Overview of PP-PM integration Capacity planning process Master data setup (Work Center, Routing, BOM) Equipment creation in PM Preventive maintenance order creation and scheduling Capacity leveling scenario PRT usage tracking process Overview: Integration between PP and PM modules happens during the following scenarios: A) During Capacity Planning for work centers B) For tracking the usage value of PRT's Process flow of integration during Capacity Planning for work centers: When the production work center is overloaded with capacity, if we try to do capacity leveling and want to shift the capacity to other dates, where already some preventive maintenance activity is planned for the same work center (equipment) during that period, then the system will not allow rescheduling the production order to those days. PP Work center is Equipment in PM. In the concerned equipment's master data, you can mention the PP work center's name. This links the PP work center and PM...

IR01 and CR01 are both SAP transaction codes used to create work centers, but they are specialized for different functional modules within SAP. The primary difference is  the work center category they are designed for :   CR01   is used to create work centers with the category   0001 (Production)   for the   Production Planning (PP)   module. It is intended for creating and managing resources on the shop floor. IR01  is used for work centers with the category  0005 (Plant Maintenance) , which is part of the  Plant Maintenance (PM)  module.  

  Comprehensive Discussion of Core Data Services (CDS) Views This document synthesizes information regarding Core Data Services (CDS) Views, drawing upon the provided sources and organized by the topics discussed. I. Introduction and Definition: CDS Stands For Core Data Services (CDS) fundamentally represent a new approach to data modeling, departing from older methods. Definition: CDS stands for Core Data Services . Paradigm Shift: CDS is completely based on a top down approach . This is synonymous with the code to data Paradigm , recognized as one of the important features of the Hana database. Code Push Down: CDS views follow the crucial concept of code push down , similar to Application Managed Database Procedures (AMDP). This principle moves processing logic closer to the database layer. II. Programming Approach The programming approach associated with CDS Views is central to their definition and efficiency: Core Paradigms: CDS utilizes the top down approach ...

 The source material provides an introductory overview of SAP Core Data Services (CDS) , explaining why SAP developed this technology as a common, higher-level data model to be consumed across various technologies like OData and Business Intelligence. It defines CDS as a set of domain-specific languages (DDL, DQL, DCL) used for creating semantically rich data models that include extra metadata through annotations for applications like Fiori. The discussion also clarifies the distinction between ABAP CDS and HANA CDS , noting that the former is open-source and database-agnostic while the latter is native to the HANA database and developed by native HANA developers. Finally, the text highlights the key advantages of CDS over classical SAP views, such as supporting code pushdown , advanced join types, and the use of parameters and complex expressions. Here’s a more detailed, “from‑scratch” view of SAP Core Data Services (CDS) — how it works, key building blocks, types of views, and ...
