Our Freelance SAP PP consultants are responsible for the design, configuration, and optimization of SAP production planning—from bill of materials (BOM) maintenance and work plan design to MRP runs, capacity planning, and production order control. They deliver concrete deliverables: documented system configurations, test reports, training materials, and operationally ready PP processes that transition directly into production. For manufacturing companies, this is the difference between a stable production process and costly downtime.
Typical triggers for engaging our experts include SAP S/4HANA migrations with PP scope, the establishment of new plant structures, and the replacement of outdated planning logic with modern scheduling methods. Even short-term capacity bottlenecks within your own SAP team or the upcoming go-live of a production site make experienced external support necessary—and this must happen before delays occur, not after.

These profiles help you identify the real drivers behind scheduling and capacity issues: master data, parameters, strategies, and process breaks. Our experts prioritize quick wins in MRP and ensure production control through clear lines of responsibility. This allows you to achieve predictable production runs instead of constant chaos in production planning.
With these profiles, you’ll have consultants who take a holistic approach to PP processes in S/4HANA—both from a business and a systems perspective. From planning strategy to backflush, Customizing, Fiori roles, and data migration are integrated. This reduces rework during cutover and prevents production downtime caused by incorrect parameters.
With these profiles, you close gaps between PP, MM, SD, CO, and warehouse processes (WM/EWM). Our consultants verify the consistency of document flows, availability logic, inventory management, and cost updates. The result: fewer discrepancies, clear traceability, and reliable KPIs for the shop floor and planning.

We will assess your exact PP scope: Which planning strategies are affected, which plants and production lines, which SAP version, and which integration points with MM, SD, or QM are relevant? Based on this information, we will work with you to define the requirements, the project timeline, and the specific success criteria for the implementation.
We match your role specification with our vetted profiles—based on industry experience, level of customization expertise, availability, and cultural fit for the project. You’ll receive suitable recommendations within 24–36 hours, so your project won’t have to wait for a consultant.
What matters to us isn’t whether a candidate lists “SAP PP” on their resume—but whether they have a proven track record of successfully implementing production planning processes. Our experts are judged by their results: stable planning runs, successfully implemented go-lives, and knowledge that can be shared throughout the company.

You’ll typically receive an initial selection of qualified candidates within 24–36 hours. To do this, we directly match your requirements regarding processes, plant structure, production type, and system landscape with our profiles. You’ll then receive profiles that clearly highlight the candidates’ areas of expertise, availability, and relevant project experience, so you can begin interviewing them right away.
We start with a brief clarification of your requirements regarding scope, priorities, and stakeholders to ensure our profiles are a true fit for your project. We then match technical areas of expertise—such as MRP, planning strategy, production orders, master data, or S/4HANA PP—against your target processes and Customizing setup. You’ll receive a curated selection and can compare candidates in a structured way before conducting the final interviews.
We don’t just look at “SAP PP”—we specifically examine planning strategies, MRP and scheduling logic, bills of materials (BOMs)/work plans, and production order processing within the context of your actual manufacturing operations. Our experts are categorized by industry focus, production type (discrete, batch, and process manufacturing), and integration requirements with MM, SD, CO, and warehouse processes. This helps you avoid generalists and ensures you get candidates who can immediately address your critical levers for success.
We work with you to define measurable outcomes such as on-time delivery performance, MRP exception rate, missing-part rate, WIP, lead time, and stability of backflush data. Our experts provide a clear list of actions and prioritize them in sprints: first stabilization, then optimization. Weekly reporting and thorough documentation ensure that progress is transparent and embedded within the organization.
At the outset, we systematically document processes, system statuses, authorizations, plant structure, and the most important master data objects. Our experts work with traceable artifacts such as process maps, Customizing logs, decision logs, and test cases to ensure your team remains on the same page at all times. Knowledge transfer occurs continuously through pairing with key users as well as a thorough handover for operations or follow-up projects.
The daily rate for an SAP PP consultant typically ranges from €850 to €1,200. The exact rate depends primarily on the scope (e.g., MRP redesign vs. plant rollout), S/4HANA experience, the scope of integration, and the required on-site presence. With these profiles, you’ll receive transparent terms upfront so you can plan your budget and start date.
Yes, our profiles typically cover test design, test execution, and defect triage along the end-to-end PP chain. During cutover, they ensure master data freezes, initial MRP runs, open orders, and confirmation logic so that production starts up smoothly. During hypercare, issues are systematically analyzed, permanently resolved, and fed back into processes and customizing as lessons learned.
