Introducing SAP® PLM in the Cloud – Chapter 3.6 E-Bite Review
SAP’s newly released PLM E-Bite, “Introducing SAP® PLM in the Cloud” takes readers through various aspects of SAP PLM solutions. In section 3.6 they speak to the value of their Integration Scenarios in terms of building out an end-to-end process that maximizes utility for customers.

This chapter covers off on different integrations that streamline processes, enhance collaboration, and improve the management of product data and configurations within enterprise systems like SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP PLM.

Key components mentioned include:

Product Verification and Validation: This involves test execution in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, where Bill of Materials (BOMs) are used as test objects. When changes are made to a BOM, it helps track what requirements and test cases need validation and documents the testing process.
Configuration Management: This integrates with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, allowing BOMs and associated documents to be imported, organized, and managed effectively. It enhances BOM management functionalities within SAP S/4HANA Cloud and integrates with visualization capabilities for CAD files and 3D representations.
Specification Management: This involves sharing specifications with internal and external partners and linking product masters in SAP S/4HANA Cloud to specifications. It's highlighted as a crucial foundation for managing product data in future releases.
Bill of Materials (BOM) Integration: BOMs in SAP S/4HANA are tightly integrated into various business processes and solutions within SAP S/4HANA and SAP PLM. Integrations include collaboration capabilities, SAP Business Network for Asset Management, variant configuration, and change records, enhancing BOM management across the system.
