1. SAP Help Portal for SAP S/4HANA: Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) -> Procurement Proposal. The documentation explicitly lists the possible procurement proposals created in PP/DS as "PP/DS planned orders," "Purchase requisitions," and "Scheduling agreement schedule lines." This confirms that planned orders and scheduling agreement schedule lines are direct outputs, while production orders and purchase orders are not. (Accessed for SAP S/4HANA 2023).
2. SAP Learning Hub Course S4220 (Production Planning in SAP S/4HANA): Unit 5: Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) -> Lesson: Executing the Planning Run. This course material details that the PP/DS planning run (e.g., using a heuristic) results in the creation of planned orders for in-house production and purchase requisitions or scheduling agreement schedule lines for external procurement, depending on the source of supply defined.
