Summary :
SAP Note highlights differences and limitations between Product Data Structure (PDS) and Production Planning and Manufacturing (PPM) in master data management. PDS supports functionalities like engineering change management, full ERP integration for subcontracting in SNP, and variant management, which are absent in PPM. PDS is favored in scenarios using Rapid Planning Matrix, model-mix-planning, and certain class nodes. Limitations in PDS include lack of direct support for product flows, time-dependent parameters, and synchronization settings override at the resource level on activity, requiring BADIs for implementation. Models differ in handling phantoms and subcontracting documentation, with SNP-specific strategies and attributes. Further developments will focus on PDS, while continuing support for PPM.
