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.

Hi,

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

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.
Best Regards

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

SAP PLM 7.0

Hi,
My understanding of the SAP PLM is that base PDM R/3 modules like ECM, DMS and CAD Desktop have been made available on portal making it more efficient, other than this, does it have adiditonal features related to xPDD, xRPM,cProjects and cFolder etc..
if any of you folks have worked in SAP PLM 7-0 could you ps summarize the feature available. thanks.
Thanks
Pugazh
Edited by: Pugazhenthi Shanmugam on Apr 26, 2011 12:07 AM

Hello Pugazh,
Your understanding is right to most extent. ECM has been completely changes and revamped from previous versions. They are now role based and are available on NWBC client.
On the other hand xPDD, xRPM,cProjects and cFolder etc.. are PPM capabilities and are distinct from PLM 7.0 the latest version on PPM is PPM 5.0 They do not come as part of the standard PLM 7.0
There are lots of presentations, release documents power points available please SEARCH through ASUG and SAP sites.

Iviews not visible in SAP PLM 7.0 portal.

Good morning,
When i navigate to 'Product engineering' tab in the portal, there are a set of iviews available in the content area.
These are :-
1. Work environment.
2. Search
3. My contexts.
4. My objects..
These iview headers are visible with the title but no content of these iviews are visible/accessible.
On clicking on the expand tray/collapse tray icon there is no action. (All i could make out is that there is a thin line added when i click on the expand tray icon).
There is no way i can access these iviews.
Is there something i am missing out ?
Request some pointers/inputs here.
regards,
abhishek
P.S : I am not sure if this issue with iviews has anything to do with the version of java installed (mine is 1.6.0_16)

HI Abhishek
i understand u are using EP for hosting the SAP PLM 7.0 module. have u tried using the netweaver business client ?
Can u send in detail the procedure u have adopted for Installation of PLM 7.0 & hosting in EP?
Also what function have u activated apart from teh WEB-UI?
Or is ur issue resolved ?
pls share ur inputs..
thanks

Will this alone work for complete PLM Functionality or Should I install any add on, if so can you please give me the list of all add ons / modules for full PLM Functionality.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
By activating PLM in ECC 6 you will get some of the features like stability studies in Quality Management.
After activating the system runs a background job and it has to be completed without errors to get the features of PLM .

Plm module

hi ,
i want to about plm module . pls tell me?

Hi Sandya
The Pre-requisites to get into PLM would be a PP/MM knowledge along with some PS knowledge
PLM has many things in it but important parts are PDM (Product Data Management) and LIfe Cycle Managment of Product.
PDM covers Material Master, Bill Of Material (BOM), DMS (document Management System), ECM (Engineering Change Mangement), OCM (Order Change Managment) & Classification System.
With the knowledge of these objects you can start working as PLM Consultant
and needs thorough knowledge of Integration and some Innovations in these objects.
Rest will be like CFolders, CAD Integration, CProjects (PS Knowledge is a must)
which all are a add-on/plug-ins, these are easy to execute as they operate on WAS (Web Application Server)
Knowledge on Content Server for storaing the External Application Files (*WRD, *.XLS, *.ACD, *.PT etc etc...)

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.
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.
