Our SAP ECTR Interface to Solid Edge

SAP ECTR interface to Solid Edge enables seamless integration of Solid Edge product data into SAP PLM.

SAP ECTR Interface to Solid Edge

The SAP Engineering Control Center (ECTR) interface to Solid Edge enables seamless management of assemblies, components and drawings as structures in SAP PLM. You work in a familiar design environment using related Solid Edge data directly from SAP.

Product Features

Efficient Document Management

Secure import and management of complete Solid Edge model structures in the SAP document management system (SAP DMS). Benefit from check-in/check-out mechanisms that enable collaborative editing of original and other files, and use other advanced PDM features such as versioning, status management, and more.

Simple File Handling

Simplify daily routines and ensure efficient engineering through automated procedures and intelligent menu structures.

Material and Material BOM Management

Use the wide range of management functions for SAP material and material BOM management such as creating, assigning, changing and displaying SAP material masters and automatic SAP BOM derivation, also including the integrated SAP Engineering Change Management.

Use Cases

The SAP ECTR interface to Solid Edge provides redundancy-free CAD and ERP integration. You can then easily link separate design and development disciplines while having an easy-to-use technical bridge between engineering and commercial operations.

Reduce Interfaces

Prevent media discontinuities when sharing important data. SAP ECTR enables simple and fast direct integration of CAD data with SAP PLM objects and applications. Project efficiency increases through optimized, secure data management and through simultaneous linking with commercial processes directly in SAP ERP.

Simplify Product Data Creation

Simplify the creation and management of product data in SAP. Save manual effort by transferring Solid Edge product data such as files and article information, as well as BOMs, to SAP automatically and securely.

 

Single Source of Truth (SSoT)

Benefit from having a single source of truth, the strongest argument for achieving product data consistency. Use identical data across departments for all employees involved in product creation. Ensure early CAD information availability in SAP and respond even faster to customer or supplier inquiries.

Benefits

Benefit from the advantages provided by the SAP Engineering Control Center (ECTR), an end-to-end SAP standard integration platform developed by engineers for engineers. The SAP ECTR can be used regardless of whether you are running SAP as an on-premise installation or SAP Cloud applications. See the other benefits for yourself.

Better Communications

Improve communications between individual departments such as engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, sales and service, and external service providers, for example, by automatically displaying CAD neutral formats using the integrated SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer included in the standard system.

Faster Data Navigation

Use an intuitive Windows®-like window interface to navigate product structures and detailed information. Perform SAP transactions easily using context menus and work with drag & drop in SAP. A Google®-like search is available for quick searching and finding.

Avoid Media Discontinuities

Use integrated SAP PLM functions and benefit from eliminating media discontinuities when managing Solid Edge data, and access relevant SAP PLM/ERP information directly and without redundancy.
