In SAP, there are basicaly some configurations items which provide link between SD and PP, to mention some of them:
- Requirement type
- Requirement class

In operation wise, depends on the mode of manufacturing. There 2 basic modes of manufacturing: make to stok and make to order. There are many variants in between, but let just concentrate on the 2 basic types.
1. Make to stock
- Production department will produce finish goods base and stock them on the warehouse. They will produce the goods base on forecast. In this case the link is in the forecasting module of PP where all the historical sales order can be taken into account to create a sales forecast.
2. Make to order
- Production department will only produce the goods when there are sales order created.
- During data entry, user can select product variant and this information must be transferred to PP module.
- The sales order number can be reference during planning and production of the goods.
- The stock can also be referenced to a sales order number.
- The product costing module can also refer to sales order number so that if you wish you can identify the margin for each sales order.
