FEATURES

Automatically transfer product data to SAP

As an ERP system, SAP is the pivotal point for the procurement of required materials and purchased parts to manufacture the items to be produced, and finally for the control of the entire production process, at the end of which the finished product will be available. Product data must therefore be provided in SAP with the latest state of the art, without great effort, and without any delays. Plus, any changes to the product data must be transferred from the PLM system in a timely manner.

ONE SOLUTION

CoreFace SAP connectors

SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP S/4HANA

CoreFace provides a powerful and flexible solution for integrating PTC Windchill with SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP S/4HANA (onPremise / Private Cloud) to ensure smooth synchronization of product data and business processes.

For this integration, Innoface provides customers with the necessary OData services that are imported into the existing SAP system. Communication and data exchange between CoreFace and SAP ECC 6.0 or SAP S/4HANA takes place via the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) Integration Suite. This provides a secure and reliable connection between CoreFace and your SAP system.
An important advantage of CoreFace is that SAP standard objects are not modified. All objects provided by Innoface are in their own namespace. This ensures update stability of your SAP system.

CoreFace provides a high degree of flexibility for customer-specific adaptations. For example, custom fields (Z-fields) can be easily used in the mapping configuration.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

For SAP S/4HANA Cloud, CoreFace offers a customized solution based on the use of SAP standard OData services. This integration method provides a seamless connection between PTC Windchill and the SAP S/4HANA Cloud environment.

The use of SAP standard services creates a highly flexible and scalable solution that enables secure data exchange and synchronization of product and business process data. This approach ensures easy and fast implementation as CoreFace provides a standard connector that does not require extensive customization or configuration.

Another advantage of this solution is the ability to fill custom fields (Z-fields) without any problems, so that your specific requirements can be easily implemented. Connecting to CoreFace via SAP standard APIs also provides a future-proof solution that adapts to the continuous updates and enhancements of SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

CoreFace provides a powerful and flexible solution for integrating PTC Windchill with SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA (on-premise/private cloud) to ensure smooth synchronisation of product data and business processes. For this integration, Innoface provides customers with the necessary APIs as transports that are imported into the existing SAP system. Communication and data exchange between PTC Windchill and SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA takes place via the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) Integration Suite. This provides a secure and reliable connection between CoreFace and your SAP system.
An important feature of our APIs is that no SAP standard objects are modified. All objects provided by Innoface are in their own IFCNX namespace. This ensures that the system remains stable and that future SAP updates have no impact on the CoreFace integration. In addition, custom fields (Z-fields) can be easily filled and synchronised, providing a high degree of flexibility for customer-specific adaptations and extended business requirements.

FunCtionS

CoreFace for SAP

CoreFace offers a standard range of functions that can be configured or customized to your specific requirements. Maintain your material masters, bill of materials, document information records and change masters directly from PTC Windchill.

Documents

Documents created in Windchill to describe a part are transferred to SAP and linked to the related material master.

Material master

You can configure which fields and material views are supplied. Furthermore, you can also specify that plant-specific views are transferred in addition to the cross-plant views.

Bill of Materials (BOM)

The bill of materials is derived from the CAD assembly structure (EPMDocument structure) or the part structure (WTPart structure) as required. In addition to position types N, L, variable size items (R) and text positions are also supported. The logic for position setup can be adjusted depending on the application.

Classification and characteristics

When using PartsLink in Windchill, material masters can be classified and their characteristics on the SAP side are updated according to the class attributes in Windchill.

Additional master data

Along with managing your core product data, CoreFace for SAP also supports you in the update of bill of documents, order bills of materials, project BOM, process plans, and other master data.

Release processes

When product data and documents are ready for transmission, the data is again validated for correctness and completeness before being transferred to SAP. Upon release either by a set state or as result of a workflow product data are being synchronized. The data is now up-to-date in both systems and available for use in the next step.

Change master

All data are subject to a regulated and harmonized change management process in both systems. Each change operation is managed in a change notice (Change Notice Workflow) on the Windchill side. The interface links the change notice in Windchill to the SAP change master record. All changed parts, bills of materials and documents are managed simultaneously by the change notice.

On the key date, when the change master record becomes valid in SAP, all parts, bills of materials and descriptive documents affected by the change are simultaneously released in their new version and the prepared change can enter production.
