SAP PLM 7.02 -Assembly structure management

Hi
Greetings for the year 2015.
I need to understand how a assembly item in ASM can be replaced and swap with another assembly item.
Repalce means a new item is put in place of the old item.
Swap means the assembly items are exchanged .
Thanks & Regards
Satish

Hi Satish,
This would be fairly simple. Go to an Assembly Structure. Replace the existing material with another material. It could be necessary to assign a Change Number. Then create a new Change State and insert the new material.
Regards, Frans

    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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Difference between SAP PM & SAP PLM

    Hi All,
    I wanted to know about the difference between SAP PM, SAP PLM & SAP EAM(Enterprise Asset Management)
    What business purpose SAP PLM serves & is SAP PLM an ECC component or separate product such as CRM/SRM ?
    Please anyone let me know .
    Thanks in advance .
    rgds

    Hi,
    the difference between PLM and PM is the following:
    PM is a SAP component for plant maintenance in which you can plan and maintain equipments, work centers and materials that need regular checking.
    PLM is the product lifecycle management in which various SAP components are involved see the thread [PLM forum|PLM Forum;. PLM defines the process of a product from its creation to its end, where as this can be seen as a cyclic process because the end of a product can lead to a new product that evolves from the original product and in which knowledge gained from the various steps in PLM is involved.
    I hope that this replies your question.

  • In sap plm projects

    hi guru.
    in sap plm projects is this necessary , to generate the reports,scripts.
    what is exactly sap plm projects,give some idea briefly.because just recently
    i got offer for working in sap plm development projects.
    help me.
    thanks& regards
    subhasis

    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.

    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.

    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
