Main functionality
– Open, Save & revise of EPLAN Designs
– New EPLAN project from template
– Save & revise (create & update) BOM
– Map SAP attributes to EPLAN Design
– Save & revise (create & update) resulting documents

Synchronization of Catalogue Parts
– Synchronization of catalogue parts bi-directional
– Create new catalogue parts on demand or
scheduled
– Create new EPLAN catalogue parts from SAP
based on release processes
– Map SAP attributes, status and classification
information to EPLAN and vice versa

Kick-off
Workshop
Participants:
• Customer: PLM Admin, M-CAD user if necessary, E-CAD user,
• EPLAN integration consultant
• Consultant of customer’s SAP ECTR implementation partner
Preferred method of workshop:
• Checklist with predefined topics:
• IT landscape definition
• Parts management
• Bill of Materials
• Document Management
• Migration of legacy data and processes
Kick-off Workshop
A. Paulfeuerborn – B. Er / EPLAN PLM Competence Center / September 2017
Prerequisites for a successful integration project
• Standardized product installation
• Common understanding about requirements and goals between
participants
• Common understanding, wording and meaning between the different
departments of the customer!
IT Landscape
• Definition of involved systems, versions, and amount of data
• Setup of a version matrix of all systems in scope
Additional requirements
• Unattended jobs for processing documents
• Further linked systems which may affect the authoring tool integration
(e.g. linkage to manufacturing systems)
IT Landscape and general setup
A. Paulfeuerborn – B. Er / EPLAN PLM Competence Center / September 2017
Content:
• Quantity structure of parts and new created parts per month
• Definition of various processes
• Article creation, Release, Change Management, Substituted parts …
• Data responsibility
• Parts classification
• EPLAN classification vs. standards (e-class or similar)
• Classification of electrical, mechanical and electric-mechanic parts
• Data mapping
• Multiple languages
• Datatypes, restrictions and external data
Parts Management
A. Paulfeuerborn – B. Er / EPLAN PLM Competence Center / September 2017
Content
• Utilization of BOM in electrical engineering
• Use of BOM in product development vs customer order
process
• Doubling of actuators and sensors in discipline specific
BOMs
• Structuring of BOM in electrical engineering for overview,
purchasing processes, lived practice
• Occurrences and BOM-line attributes
• Check-routines, mapping, re-use
• Mapping
• Partial release of BOM structures
• Re-use
Bill of Materials
A. Paulfeuerborn – B. Er / EPLAN PLM Competence Center / September 2017
Content:
• Quantity of documents and document types used in
integration
• Projects
• Create new
• Create based on template
• Save as
• Release
• Change management
• Additional documents and reports
Migration of legacy data
• Store as flat documents vs. mass import as EPLAN items
Document Management
A. Paulfeuerborn – B. Er / EPLAN PLM Competence Center / September 2017
Results in SAP ECTR
• All related documents
• Individual occurrence with
reference designator
• BOM defined by design
A. Paulfeuerborn – B. Er / EPLAN PLM Competence Center / September 2017
Summary
• All native EPLAN files and resulting documents are
stored in SAP
• Additional documentation is automatically generated by EPLAN
• Part information and BOM are consistent in ECAD application and PLM back
- end
• Information is available for the entire company
• Access rights are defined by SAP ECTR mechanisms
