In 2012, ULVAC implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as its ERP Financial system. The SAP ERP ECC 6.0 deployment at ULVAC, Inc. was focused on consolidating core financial processing and operational accounting across its Kanagawa headquarters and broader corporate operations in Japan for a company with approximately 6,235 employees.
Configurations covered SAP FI and CO for core financials and controlling, MM for procurement, PP for production planning, SD for order to cash, and PS for project accounting, reflecting a standard ERP Financial module footprint. SAP ERP ECC 6.0 was configured to centralize master data maintenance and period-end settlement workflows, with in-house system engineers responsible for planning, operation, and maintenance.
ULVAC has positioned the SAP ERP ECC 6.0 instance as the foundational platform for later regional information centralization, with the DX Planning Promotion Department initiating a program to centrally manage information across China, Taiwan, and Japan targeting 2026. The system supported finance, procurement, production planning, sales order processing, and project cost tracking across group companies, aligning application team responsibilities to cross-company coordination and data harmonization.
Governance and operational ownership for SAP ERP ECC 6.0 are retained internally by an application team within the DX Planning Promotion Department, charged with master data governance, next settlement processes, and operational support. In-house SEs perform system planning, runbook operations, routine maintenance, and act as project leads for business system planning and statutory or process-driven changes.

In 2012, ULVAC implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Production Planning (PP) as the company’s core Advanced Planning and Scheduling capability. The implementation was managed by ULVAC’s in-house application SE organization based at the company headquarters in Kanagawa, with responsibility for SAP planning, operation and maintenance and ongoing master data maintenance.
SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Production Planning (PP) was configured to support production planning workflows typical of the Advanced Planning and Scheduling category, including material requirements planning, production order management, capacity-related scheduling and master data governance for items and BOMs. The deployment emphasized application-level configuration and operational ownership by internal SEs, aligning PP workstreams with factory planning and shop floor scheduling practices.
The PP implementation operated inside an SAP ECC landscape alongside other SAP functional modules, reflecting on-site operational experience across FI, CO, MM, SD and PS modules listed in ULVAC’s application team requirements. This architecture enabled planning to finance and procurement continuity, with the Production Planning module interfacing functionally with procurement and costing processes and supporting next settlement work and master data maintenance activities.
Governance was organized through ULVAC’s internal DX Planning Promotion and application teams, which retained control of SAP operations, project leadership and ongoing development. Staff-level requirements and recruitment signals indicate sustained in-house operation and iterative enhancement of SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Production Planning (PP) functions to support group and regional planning initiatives.
