CIDEON 3DEXPERIENCE xPDM – SAP Interface
A solution by: CIDEON
Application domain: Infrastructure
Solution Overview
With the CIDEON 3DX - SAP Interface, CIDEON provides a powerful, high-performance integration solution to connect the SAP ERP world with the 3D EXPERIENCE system landscape. The integration synchronizes business objects (for e.g., parts and structures, materials, BOM etc.) and processes (for e.g. change management, release scenarios etc.) on demand and fully automatically based on various system events, between the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and SAP and vice a versa.
By default, the CIDEON interface supports important PLM functionalities and Data Models in the Dassault environment such as parts and BOM management, Unified Product Data Model, Manufacturing BOMs in the 3DEXPERIENCE landscape. On the SAP side, material management objects, Bill of Materials with associated change master records, documents and BOMs including status and effectivity dates are supported. The interface is very flexible in terms of mapping business objects between the two systems and can be easily extended (On Premise) with many enhancements to meet business requirements.
Product highlights are:
- The fully automated and asynchronous synchronization of data and processes between 3DEXPERIENCE platform and SAP Bidirectional data- and process mapping.
- Support of 3DEXPERIENCE and SAP Change Management objects (CA, CO, ECR, ECO).
- Highly flexible, customizable, and extendable mapping rules event-driven, customizable synchronization workflows (status- and parameter based).
- Object- and data filtering mechanism even with large data volumes.
- Scalable and reliable architecture.
- Complete traces of the synchronization process through detailed logging of all data transfer activities.
- Comprehensive administration tools for easy administration and controlled synchronization process.
Integration is based on standard DS technology such as xPDM for 3DX on-premises and EIF (Enterprise Integration Framework) for 3DX in the cloud.
Benefits
