CAD Integration
Modern CAD systems go beyond the mere creation of geometry data and drawing out. You already have a community-oriented in their purpose information and technological data to and are often a stand-alone development system. Thus arises during development a product in a CAD development system is a data structure that already contains a lot of data necessary for the transaction of business in the SAP business solutions are needed. As products change subject to a transparent exchange of data between the CAD system one hand and the management of master data and documents in the SAP business solutions on the other. Both systems are but not directly linked indirectly through an application-specific component that is designed by a Complementary Software Partner is. About the CAD interface runs the bi-directional data exchange between the two systems. The exchange includes not only documents and Technical data but also information contained in the business be used. Thus it is possible that some of the master data in the CAD system is maintained and the user of this system is not directly on the accesses R / 3 system, although this information is not for him in R / 3 are modifiable.
Product Structure Management
The product structure management includes all the product associated data. It provides the product structure browser, an overview of:
• Material master
• BOM
• Work plans (recipes)
• Documents
• Class assignments
• Change Status
• The status of the displayed objects
Thus, a simple entrance is in the processing of various SAP object. With another tool that can engineer, BOM and work plans dealt with in an integrated presentation. Thus the variant configuration is greatly simplified. It is even possible that multiple users working on the same product.
Change Management
Through the integration of PLM solutions is in the business of change management seamlessly inserted. The changes are immediately processed in PLM in SCM are directly visible and effective in the ongoing planning processes. You can with existing construction contracts and orders taken over are men. Alterations must be carried out with minimal effort and their execution can be directly observed by all parties. By creating a change number, the changes are recorded and their validity determined. This creates a complete history of the changes that suffices to proof. The changes are the effective date specified in the planning of the Supply Chain effective. About the planned orders, the changes are automatically in construction contracts and purchase orders accepted. With an amendment to a processing and release procedure system-are used. There will be a status management effective a horizontal machining support.
Configuration
The configuration accompanies the product through its life cycle. During this cycle is subject to the product according to its life changes. There will be a lot of data from different business areas, including Service, sales, engineering, production, maintenance, purchasing. These data document the conditions a product during its life cycle at a given takes time.
With so-called configuration sessions, this data is up to collect certain time and then documented. Configuration Solution contain all the objects for the management of product and project data are relevant, for example, material master records, documents, information records bills, but also project structures and networks.
The configuration folders documenting the career of such a product. They are created as a work environment (as c folders), the development groups working together to offer one platform. Using the enterprise portals is available to assist those c Folders over the Internet and the joint work from different locations. |
