3 List of Coristo Enhancements for PSM Enhanced Effectivity Information Display Valid From, Valid To, Change Number From, Change Number To for Product Variant and Product Item Variant Product Structure Comparison and Export Compare different configurations of product structures in SAP online or in EXCEL Export product structures to EXCEL Enhanced authorization for Filters (ippe) Authorization Management for ippe Filters 3

4 List of Coristo Enhancements for PSM Partial Configuration for ippe and PSM Partial Configuration (120%) of PSM and ippe Structures (can be switched on and off by user) PSM2BOM Synchronization Automatic Creation of Sync-Family PSM2BOM Synchronization by using Partial Configuration Simulation in Sync-Unit Automatic mapping between Engineering Change Number and Manufacturing Change Number Enhanced conflict management Logistic enhancements 4

6 Enhanced Effectivity Information Enhanced Effectivity Information Display Valid From Valid To Change Number From Change Number To for Product Variant and Product Item Variant in PSM 6

7 Change number handling in SAP PSM standard I With the PSM-standard the user is not able to see which change states exist with the according validity 7

8 Change numbers in SAP PSM standard II The user has to open an additional window for each change number to determine at which date the affected number is valid The user needs to open every change number and remember at which date the change state is valid to get an overview over the change states 8

9 BOM display in SAP-standard However in the SAP-standard environment for BOMs, the user always gets an overview of the different change states 9

change numbers, the user gets directly an overview over

10 Coristo Enhancement: PSM-Screen with additional fields for effectivities With the additional fields for the change numbers, the user gets directly an overview over the change states of the product variants/product item variants 10

12 Product Structure Comparison and Export Product Structure Comparison and Export Display a PSM-Structure in a Tabular View Compare different Configurations (Simulations) of a PSM structure Needed if you want to compare different 120% structures Excel-Export of PSM-Structures Export PSM-Structure to EXCEL Additional fields available e.g. Full Object Dependency, Valid from, Valid to,. Product Structure comparison in EXCEL 12

13 Product Structure Compare and EXCEL-Export Selection Criteria Product Structure Simulations (multiple selection possible) 13

14 PSM in Tabular View Tabular View for PSM Structures Integrated in SAP ALV-Layout with all sort and filter functionalities 14

15 EXCEL-Export EXCEL-Export Detailed Data of all simulations in separate EXCEL-Sheet Displays the different simulations and the characteristics and characteristic values, which are valuated in the according simulations 15

18 Authorization for Filters Authorization for Filters Add different authorizations to filters Available for SAP-GUI -> ippe/pdn Can be also be implemented for PSM Simulations 18

19 Authorizations for Filters When saving the filter the user can choose the according user group, which can change the filter. The authorizations for the user groups are managed by normal SAP PFCG-Roles. 19

21 Partial Configuration for ippe and PSM Partial Configuration for ippe and PSM Allows you to configure a product structure by using partial configuration Partial configuration can be switched on and off by user When partial configuration is switched on There is no need to valuate mandatory Characteristics You have the possibility to valuate more than one value in the characteristic even if the characteristic is single value. 21

22 Configuration - overview SAP Standard - Full configuration Configuration of customer-specific end-products Purpose is to get a valid configuration (customer order) for a single 100% product Best practice Single-value characteristics Partial configuration Any kind of partial configurations of a product structure Result can be >100% or part-structures with >100% or <100%. Variance is still allowed Multiple evaluation of single-value characteristics possible High-Level dependencies are not considered 22

23 SAP Standard configuration concept Each characteristic is valuated with one specific characteristic value Result of configuration: variantfree structures (100%) Table, oval Tabletop Oval Table frame Oval Table leg round Table platform Table, quadratic Tabletop Quadratic Table frame Quadratic Table leg square Focus: Customer orders SAP-standard 23

24 Full configuration usage I Create structures of customer-specific end-products Full configuration For each product item, there is only one product item variant valid. 24

item variants, which are dependent on values of a characteristic,

25 Full configuration usage II Not evaluated characteristics are not considered in the configuration precise configuration The product item variants, which are dependent on values of a characteristic, which is not validated in the High-Level Configuration, are invalid 25

26 Partial configuration - concept Multiple valuation of singlevalue characteristics possible Table series, oval & round Tabletop Oval, round Table frame Oval, round Table leg round Table series, quadratic Tabletop Quadratic Table frame Quadratic Table leg empty Configuration result can still contain variance Focus: internal processes Table platform Coristo-Enhancement 26

Partial configuration activation I Activation by user by valuating a trigger-characteristic: As long as the Trigger is set to SAP Standard Configuration the

27 Partial configuration activation I Activation by user by valuating a trigger-characteristic: As long as the Trigger is set to SAP Standard Configuration the characteristics can only be evaluated with max. one value, but if the Trigger is set to Partial configuration the same characteristics can be evaluated with multiple values 27

28 Partial configuration activation II Standard configuration is active: only single-value selection is possible 28

29 Partial configuration activation III Partial configuration is active: multi-value selection is possible 29

30 Partial configuration usage I Configure a product with a partial configuration, you are able to set more than one characteristic values Partial Configuration More than one product item variant possibel 30

31 Partial configuration usage II not valuated characteristics won t affect the configuration result no effect on the configuration result 31

32 Summary Complete Configuration Partial Configuration Feature SAP Standard with Single-Value characteristics SAP Standard with Multi-Value characteristics Single-Value characteristics Multi-Value characteristics Ignore not evaluated characteristics Create complete configuration Create any substructure High-Level-Dependencies, during configuration (see note) Allow configurations in GSS Coristo Partial Configuration Note: The usage of multi-value characteristics is not recommended by SAP, because it could cause errors while evaluating dependencies. These error occur, because it is not always clear how values shall be compared with each other. See also: 32
