Do You Miss Detailed Planning?
SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP does not offer detailed planning – but conOperationScheduling.CLOUD does!
conOperationScheduling.CLOUD is the tool for your detailed planning in SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP!
What’s missing? An interactive planning tool that supports planners on a daily basis, enabling them to plan ahead and respond directly to current events on the shop floor. This allows planners to make more efficient decisions.
With conOperationScheduling.CLOUD, you can get more out of your SAP landscape without legacy issues and without compromises.
Based on our years of experience with classic PP/DS and ERP planning boards, we have developed a tool that not only improves familiar processes, but also takes your planning to the next level: transparent, ergonomic, responsive, and fully integrated in SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP.
Why use an add-on like conOperationScheduling.CLOUD?
The SAP standard (including PP/DS and SAP Manufacturing) offers many functions—but not all. In practice, integrated, user-friendly tools for short-term capacity planning and real-time control are often lacking.
That is why we developed conOperationScheduling.CLOUD as a targeted extension.
Close the gap in capacity planning within S/4HANA
Enable integrated detailed planning in SAP Manufacturing
Using modern technologies for a better user experience
Fully integrate existing SAP processes
Create a central, practical application for all planning-related activities
What is conOperationScheduling.CLOUD?
conOperationScheduling.CLOUD stands for interactive, practical detailed planning in real time. The add-on offers extensive visualisation options, individual customisation and real-time data processing – all in a central, user-friendly interface.
This enables companies to close existing gaps in the SAP standard, avoid planning uncertainty and increase their flexibility. Material bottlenecks, overproduction and rigid planning tools are now a thing of the past – production planning is fully digitalised, agile and future-proof.
conOperationScheduling.CLOUD works with SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP. It is the cloud-based version of conOperationScheduling – a modern detailed planning solution for manufacturing companies.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Let artificial intelligence simplify your work
How is artificial intelligence used in conOperationScheduling.CLOUD?
Artificial intelligence helps production planners to make processes more efficient and make decisions faster.
Planners can access relevant information about orders, processes, capacity utilisation, shifts, workstations or working hours at any time by asking specific questions.
In addition, AI is able to automatically program or reprogram planning processes using different strategies and logic. This opens up new possibilities for optimised setup planning, improved resource utilisation and dynamic response to bottlenecks.
The following demo video shows how this works in practice:
How can conOperationScheduling.CLOUD be visualized?
The planning board provides a Gantt chart for clear planning of processes and easy visualisation of dependencies. Capacities, working hours and shifts are displayed directly in the timeline, enabling intuitive planning.
The Tabular Planning Board provides a clear tabular view when operations in the Gantt chart become too small. It enhances visibility of order details, supports managing alternative capacities, and includes convenient Excel export functionality.
The Dashboard displays the production schedule in the production area – similar to the Planning Board, but without planning or change functions. It is designed purely for overview and information.
