FAQ about the SAP ECTR interface to Solid Edge

SAP ECTR is an integration interface from SAP that enables end-to-end management of consistent data in the areas of mechanics, electronics, software development and simulation.

The SAP ECTR interface to Solid Edge is based on SAP ECTR and also offers an SAP function menu in Solid Edge. With the integration between SAP ECTR and Solid Edge, you can seamlessly manage assemblies, parts and drawings, including their dependent documents, as structures in SAP PLM. The simple SAP material assignment to Solid Edge assembly structures and the automatic derivation of multi-level SAP material BOMs always guarantee uniform data structures for everyone involved in development.

The interface offers engineers increased ease of use for managing Solid Edge data. While the SAP ECTR interface provides a comprehensive overview of all required information, the SAP ECTR menu integrated directly into Solid Edge simplifies the simple, intuitive editing of product structures and details.

Cideon offers comprehensive services such as the implementation of SAP ECTR interfaces, support when switching from SAP CAD Desktop to SAP ECTR, assistance with SAP EHP release upgrades or when switching to SAP S/4HANA as well as other SAP PLM products and add-ons.
