Extend Your Capabilities with ARENA SAP ERP Integration
Is your product development today is globalized, consisting of many teams, partners, vendors and suppliers? More often then not, product data is often siloed in each department and limits your ability to efficiently create your products in this fast-paced world.
Because you leverage the power of ARENA to help you deliver your products, the SAP ERP integration from PROSTEP can unify your processes and data. This makes your information such as bill of materials (BOM), data master, approved manufacturers list (AML) and other documentation consistent and up-to-date across your systems.
The Arena ERP Exchange works with PROSTEP’s OpenPDM Connector for Arena and SAP to automate the transfer of released product record information from Arena to your SAP system.
How does it work?
- This integration validates your 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, which sends error alerts to a designated administrator.
- This administrator can fix the error and reprocess updates without corrupting SAP.
The solution creates and modifies the following information in SAP:
- Material Master
- Bill of Material (BOM)
- Plant Specific Information
- Valuation Information
- ECM (Engineering Change Master
- Document Information Records Including BOM
