ARENA PLM and SAP ERP Integration Demo

Here is the Engineering Change Order with Arena PLM and Integration with SAP Workflow

  • Verify that these materials are not located in SAP.
• 00:01:35
  • Create an engineering change order to move the materials into production.
  • ARENA PLM shows you the tab used to create the change.

About ARENA PLM SAP ERP Integration

PROSTEP's OpenPDM connector for ARENA PLM and SAP integration uses ARENA ERP Exchange to automate the transfer of released product record information from Arena to SAP.  

The integration validates data changes before importing them to SAP.  An audit trail records success and failure for product data and change order transfers.  You can monitor changes and the success of the product record transfers through the Arena dashboard.
