SAP PP-PI (Production Planning – Process Industries) offers specific functionality for industries where the tracking of manufactured products via batches is essential, such as Pharma, Food & Beverages or Chemicals.

Apart from Batch Management, there are other specific requirements common to these industries also included in this component.
