Hi Subhasis,
Are you a Technical/Functional i.e. ABAP/Functional please let me know?
If you are a Technical (ABAP) then you no need to worry about your work in PLM
your work remains same as of ABAP. i.e. you will be working on Function Modules, User Exits, Field Exits, Report Design, Scripts & enhancements etc.
The Objects/Area which you will be dealing are : Document Managment System (DMS), Engineering Change Management (ECM), & CAD Integration yes i forget to mentioned you will be working on "Interfaces" too. and rest in PS or CProjects & CFolders based on the Scenarios/Requirements of your Project.
If you are a Functional:
Then working in PLM is still easy if you have a experience of working in SAP,
First part of your PLM is PDM (Product Data Managment) which deals with
DMS, ECM, CAD Integration, Material Master, BOM etc
Basically you have to integrate all these objects or business objects precicely speaking to all the modules of the SAP R/3.
Welcome to the board.
If you have any specific questions, you can write at SDN, SDN team will help you at maximum, no need to worry.
Best Regards

New to SAP PLM ( I need advice pls)
Hi,
I will appreciate some advice please.
I'm interested in SAP and plan to gain certification in SAP PLM (Project Management Modules), but I've not got any SAP experience. I've got under 3yrs experience in Project Administrator, Support and Coordinator type roles, got my Certification in PRINCE 2 Practitioner level, Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) Practitioner level, PPSO and ITIL foundation level.
Where will you advice I place myself looking for a SAP role, Iu2019m not looking to get a consultancy type role or anything like that, just something that will get me into the SAP career path with my project background.
Also is SAP PLM the best or only focus for me given my Project background?
Finally, any advice on companies that will consider someone with my profile?
Thanks,
FumiHi Fumi
Here PLM stands for Product Lifecycle Management. Forum is to discuss and get solution on the problems faced while implementation.

Can any body tell me about sap-plm from technical point of view
In sap-plm from the development point of view what abapers task
Hi Prasoon,
PLM very wide area but from ABAP point of view it depends which area you are working on, like it includes Bill of Materials, Document Management System, Classifications, Product Structure Browser, Engineering Change Mangement, etc within R/3 and apart from this it even includes Project System
on Web application Systems it includes Collaboration Projects & Collaboration Folders.
ABAP work comes for enhancements, Functional Modules, User Exists, Feild Exists, Interfaces(RFC) for CAD Integrations etc, & Reports like ALV etc.
It Depends which part of PLM you are working on & what is the requirement where in ABAP development is required so in general it is difficult to answer this question but for any particular/specific requirements anybody will answer.
Hope you might have got the fair idea of PLM

kishHi
PLM With the expansion Product LifeCycle Management we can say that it is a traceing/tracking a Product throughout its lifecycle.
i.e. from IDea generation (Concept) to the End of the Product
There are different tracktion for PLM in SAP
1. Product Data Management
which covers Material Management, Bill of Material, Document Managment System, Classification System, Variant Configurations, CAD Interfaces. etc.
Most of the Industries will be using these cross application components for their Engineering Departments.
2. Program Management
Where Entire Program is capture i.e. From Customer Enquirry to the Order execution and till Dispatch.
Here again Project System, CFolder, CProjects, DMS, MM, BOM, Workflow etc can be a part of the PLM
3. Asset LifeCylce Management
This is used in different Scenarios where companies wants to trace there assets
or lifecycle of their assets.
Project Systems and DMS will be mostly involved.
4. Quality Managment
Strictly Speaking PLM Products are used in R& D Department, Engineering Department, Design & Drafting Departments of the Companies/organizations,
Where they try to modify their existing Products, try to Design as per the customer requirements, Try to launch new Product by doing R & D works.
PLM is Mostly used in these Departments of the Organizations

Hi Guys
I am have working on PDM(Team center), VPM(Enovia DPM) and Catia V5 since 2 years now and I am planning to change to SAP PLM. Can any one help me Do i need to Have knowledge in any other things other then PDM, VPM to start up with SAP PLM.
If I want to take p my certification in SAP PLM where can i get it,( Do i need to contact Siemens for it or i can try with some other place)
Your help will be Appreciated
PradeepHi Pradeep,
1.As you have worked in PDM (Team Center), and other CAD packages, you will be knowing the Functional processes/activities involved in the PLM which is very much required to learn and give solutions in SAP PLM.
2. As you must have worked with BOM, Documents, workflows, Organizational hierarchies, Roles & Responsibilities (Draftsmen, Junior/Assist Design Engineer, Design Engineer, Project Manager etc etc) and their authorizations.
3. So with these things it is very easy to learn & work with SAP PLM, if you are currently working in non-sap or any functional domain, you can join any SAP implementation company as a Trainee or Fresher and get trained on SAP
or there are many training institutes which train SAP even for 25-30K without certification. (You will get a fare idea about what SAP is )
Even SAP PLM starts with PDM Objects like, Material Master, Document Managment System, Engineering Change Managment (Versioning/Revisioning for BOM, MM, DIR), Bill of Materials, Classification System (Classes, Characteristics, Object Dependencies etc) all this are PDM Objects in SAP.
And there is Collaboration Projects, Collabortion Folders and CAD Integrations. etc these all together constitutes a SAP PLM

Question about elearning - OKP SAP Commercial Project Management
Hi Gurus,
i have a question about an e learning course which SAP offers-
Course Name- OCPM10-
OCPM10 - OKP SAP Commercial Project Management 1.0 | SAP Training and Certification Shop
It's an e learning course for 20 hours, below are my questions-
Since its an e-learning course, is it to be completed in a specified time (within 2-3 days) or we can have access to it throughout the year but duration of course is 20 hrs
What kind of documentation is provided to me as part of this course.1. C_TPLM22_05 - SAP Certified Solution Consultant PLM - Project Management with SAP ERP 2005
It includes SAP PLM 235 course material along with PLM 200, 210 220, 230,
2. C_TPLM22_60 - SAP Certified Application Associate - Project Management with SAP ERP 6.0
It is not including the PLM 235 course.
This is the basic difference between it. IN Certification there are 6 -7 areas , in each of them you have to score more than 70 % , there many few multiple answer questions as well. Finally over score will come it should be higher than 70 %. So, I ideally weight all the topics equally,
With Regards

Where can you download documentation of BP PLM Projects for EP7.0
Hello,
Can someone point me to where I can download the documentation of Business Package of PLM Projects for EP 7.0 SP4 or higher? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks very much.Hi,
the only Business Package for Projects I am aware of is the Business Package for Projects 50.3, which is a PLM business package. You can download it on <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/contentportfolio">https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/contentportfolio</a>. For all I know, there is no other release of this business package that is currently generally available.

Hi,
I have a expertise in SAP Plant Maintenance (3 end to end cycles) and Quality Management (2 end to end cycles). I am looking out to upgrade my skills for SAP PLM. Please anyone of you can suggest me what features are covered in SAP PLM. Also where to start.
Thanks in advance.
Rgrds
Vikas.Hi Vikas,
I am partial, but I would recommend you consider the Project System module. I am certain you are familiar with this and have encountered it on your PM projects. The skills you have with Plant Maintenance should help you with learning the PS module. You will learn about building a project, including planning, budgeting, executing, and reporting. You will need to learn about particular types of business projects such as expense, capital, and revenue projects.
Of course, do it because you enjoy it, not because you think you can make more money! I like this area, and have been working with project management systems for about 25 years now.
You will also want to educate yourself about integrating SAP Project System with other applications such as MS Project or Primavera...just as examples.

SAP PLM, ERP, PPM relationships
Hi PLM experts,
I have some questions about the SAP PLM products as below, would you share your insights? Thanks.
1. Most of PLM sub-modules are the functions of SAP ECC components as I see. So what's the relationship between SAP PLM and SAP ECC?
2. SAP PLM can be installed as an independent instance or as an integrated instance with SAP ECC as I read from document. Is it correct?
3. I read SAP PPM can be installed as an independent instance as well, what's PPM relationship to SAP PLM?
4. Most PLM user interface is using Web UI. Is it based ABAP webdynpro or Java webdynpro? Someone told me it's based on FPM framework in ABAP wedynpro. If you know, please share me your idea as well.
5. Any workflow function in SAP PLM? If user requires workflow to manage R&D process in SAP PLM, is it using similar ABAP workflow technology as in SAP ECC? Or java-based workflow as in BPM?
Appreciate your expert share.Hi Justin,
see responses below:
1. Most of PLM sub-modules are the functions of SAP ECC components as I see. So what's the relationship between SAP PLM and SAP ECC?
SAP PLM capabilities are an integral part of SAP ECC, some are natively available like SAP GUI based BOM Management, Classification, Variant Configuration, Engineeering Change Management, etc., some , especially those in the PLM Web UI, need to be activated through Business Functions made available in various standard SAP ECC Enhancement Packages and partially licensed, like e.g. Engineering Record, Product Structure Synchronization, Access Control Management.
2. SAP PLM can be installed as an independent instance or as an integrated instance with SAP ECC as I read from document. Is it correct?
Yes.
3. I read SAP PPM can be installed as an independent instance as well, what's PPM relationship to SAP PLM?
SAP PPM is a a standalone product with its own license. It integrates into SAP ERP/PLM and other legacy and Business Suite solutions.
4. Most PLM user interface is using Web UI. Is it based ABAP webdynpro or Java webdynpro? Someone told me it's based on FPM framework in ABAP wedynpro. If you know, please share me your idea as well.
PLM Web UI is ABAP WebDynpro. And yes, it uses Floor Plan Manager.
5. Any workflow function in SAP PLM? If user requires workflow to manage R&D process in SAP PLM, is it using similar ABAP workflow technology as in SAP ECC? Or java-based workflow as in BPM?
SAP Business Workflow is leveraged in SAP PLM. Anyone can feel free to use SAP BPM as well, especially if workflows are crossing applications, and need to be orchestrated accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Ulf.
