In 2016, B. Braun implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as part of an ERP Financial initiative aligned to global process harmonization. The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 rollout built on master data restructuring and capacity planning work that began in 2005, and it foregrounded SAP PP and PI coordination as central functional pillars.
Configuration and module work emphasized SAP Production Planning and Process Integration, with definition of template processes in the SAP environment to standardize manufacturing and planning workflows. Master data models were restructured to support capacity planning scenarios and to enable consistent bill of materials, material master, and planning parameters across sites.
Integrations were defined at the shop floor and systems level, with explicit interface definitions to weighing systems, manufacturing execution systems, EWC, and in-house label print systems. From 2016 the Track and Trace project defined the interface requirements between ERP systems and ATTP, signaling an enterprise focus on traceability integration alongside core ERP Financial operations.
Governance was centralized through the SCORE project, which oversaw the global SAP rollout across national companies, and through a designated global process coordinator for SAP PP and PI who owned template process definition and interface specifications. The implementation narrative centers on aligning SAP ERP ECC 6.0, ERP Financial controls, production planning, and traceability interfaces to support consistent operational governance at the national and global level.
