<p>The client owns multiple manufacturing facilities with different product processing units. These products are passed through various stages of lifecycle that are managed through ENOVIA— a PLM software—where the client’s team can search for parts, report problems, change parts, and design documentation. SAP ECC (ERP Central Component) acts as the core enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, while all produced data gets stored in the SAP HANA database.</p>
<p>The data produced from ENOVIA is collectively transferred to the SAP ECC system, irrespective of whether it is an in-work or a released bill-of-materials (BOM) or part. However, there is a continuous change in in-work parts at the revision level and, with technical limitations related to ENOVIA, this data could not be transferred to the SAP ECC system. This restricted the client’s team from loading the data of ‘in-progress products’ accurately into the SAP ECC system.</p>
<p>Also, each product being processed had parts and subparts, that could be arranged in a hierarchical tree-branch model. However, no report was generated to display all the parts in a hierarchy with a single click. This made work tedious for the team, since they had to manually type the part number to search data in SAP ECC software.</p>
