Learning SAP PLM

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.

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.

Want to learn SAP PLM

Hi All,
I have 11 years of experience in Enovia PLM (java based PLM tool) and has good understanding of Engineering Management, Product configuration and Product portfolio management.
I want to improve breadth of my knowledge and want to learn SAP PLM
Can any of you guide me where to start.
I am currently at Atlanta GA USA Are there any good online training institutes.
Also please let me know good websites to learn about SAP PLM
Thanks & Regards
Murali

Hi Murali,
There are different ways you can learn SAP PLM:
1) Easy but costly way is through attending cources run by different SAP Authorized Training Centers. By Training route u will get proper step by step guidance on different PLM functions, but it will have some impact on your pocket.
2) You can read SAP Help available online. But trust me without assistance its like learning greek.
3) There are different Presentations available on internet made by consultant for their customer. It would be great first step towards excellence.
Mentioned above are few ways by which you can learn SAP PLM, however the time & understanding level totally depend upon your will to get mastered into it.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
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

SAP PLM

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
Pradeep

Hi 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

By activating PLM in ECC 6 you will get some of the features like stability studies in Quality Management.

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.

SAP PLM Web UI: Document functionality working very slow or timing out

Dear Experts,
In the SAP PLM Web UI, when we open any existing document or try to create a new document system continues to process with out any error for long time before getting timed out.
Even Descriptions tab or any other tab and attached originals do not open.
Is this got something to do with the whitelist? I havent generated any whitelists so far for this system.
We are on ECC 6.0 EHP 6 and PLMWUI SAPK-70206INPLMWUI.
Thanks and regards,
Shashikumar BS

Hi Shashikumar,
it is quite hard to find out the reason for anybody without system access... I think the best and quickest would be for you to raise an OSS to SAP: http://service.sap.com/incident

I have 3.4 years of ABAP experience. Planning to learn SAP BI and Move to BI. Kindly Suggest

Hi Experts,
I have been working for almost 3 and half years on SAP ABAP. Now i am planning to Learn SAP BI/BW and move my carrier to SAP BI/BW Completely.
What would be the opportunities and carrier growth in the coming years for this combination. Please suggest.
I have read all the previous posts which were posted a year back about the same combination. But please suggest according to the present trend.
I will definitely consider your each and every suggestion of you as a priority one to my carrier growth.
Thanks and Regards,
V Shankar

HI V
if you already know it's better opportunities then it sounds like you have already answered your question
if you are not familiar with the concept of big data or HANA I recommend you enter those terms in your search engine or look at SCN Front page and start reading
as far as how to retrain and transition that will really depend on your current employment situation. What would be a great combination is a mix of ABAP with HANA. Without going into further detail I think you will gain more insight by your own research

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,
Fumi

Hi Fumi
Here PLM stands for Product Lifecycle Management. Forum is to discuss and get solution on the problems faced while implementation.
Sorry forum members may not answer for the subject
