Course Overview
The SAP course Consumption-Based Planning and Forecasting in SAP S/4HANA (S4525) delivers comprehensive training on material requirements planning (MRP) processes within the SAP S/4HANA environment, specifically designed for business users, application consultants, and business process architects. This course equips professionals with the skills to manage inventory and procurement through data-driven planning methods, aligning with industry demand as over 70% of global enterprises now use SAP S/4HANA for core supply chain operations. Participants will gain expertise in reorder point planning, forecast-based planning, and time-phased planning, preparing them for roles that require precise inventory control and demand forecasting. The curriculum supports professionals aiming to pass the SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement (C_TS450_2023) exam, which includes a dedicated section on consumption-based planning.
Students engage directly with core SAP S/4HANA tools including MRP Live, classic MRP, Material Master configuration, MRP areas, lot-sizing procedures, and the Stock/Requirements List (MD04). The hands-on lab environment simulates real-world planning scenarios using the SAP S/4HANA system, where learners configure MRP types, execute planning runs, and evaluate procurement proposals. A key lab project involves setting up automatic reorder point planning for a sample material, running MRP Live to generate purchase requisitions, and analyzing forecast results to optimize inventory levels. Through these exercises, participants gain practical experience in managing net requirements calculation, source determination, and scheduling, ensuring they can implement efficient planning strategies in live enterprise environments.
This course prepares learners for the globally recognized SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement certification, a credential valued by enterprises undergoing digital transformation. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 15–20%, with mid-level SAP S/4HANA consultants earning between $110,000 and $150,000 annually in the U.S., according to 2026 market data. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official SAP courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring learners master complex planning scenarios with expert guidance.
