SAP PLM and SAP Enterprise Product Development architecture
Key takeaways
Summary
▪ The overall SAP PLM solution architecture is designed for optimal process
support and bridging of public cloud, private cloud and on-prem solution
components to protect customers’ IT investments
▪ SAP connects different landscapes with each other and ensures a smooth
data exchange
▪ To connect SAP EPD to SAP S/4HANA or ECC 6.0 backend, no extra
middleware is needed, the integration is done via EPD integration service /
OData API calls
▪ SAP ECTR enables customers to connect to a multitude of CAD systems while
SAP PLMSI is the integration enabler to external 3rd party PLM systems

Identity Provider (IdP) – a system or entity which manages digital identity information and is used
to provide or remove privileges. Organizations or companies typically use an IdP to allow their
employees and users to connect to different resources and applications.
SAP Cloud Identity Services, Identity Authentication is a public cloud service for secure
authentication and single sign-on for SAP cloud and on-premise applications. It can act as an
identity provider itself or be used as a proxy to integrate with an existing single sign-on
Infrastructure of a customer.
SAP BTP Role Collection – You can maintain application roles and role collections, which can be
used in user management. Role collections enable you to group together the roles you create using
the SAP BTP cockpit. The role collections you define can be assigned to user groups containing
users logging on with SAML 2.0 assertions.

Summary
▪ An identity provider (IdP) is used to provide user and user
group assignments which have to be mapped on SAP BTP
level to role collections for SAP EPD usage
▪ Role collections are available as user groups for
collaboration assignments inside SAP EPD. Manage
Capability Rules can be used to restrict user group
availability on collaboration level
▪ Consider structuring user group / role collections for
collaboration use
▪ Manage Teams app to manage role collection in SAP BTP

▪ SAP provides flexibility for customers to work with an
existing identity provider (e.g. from cloud hyperscalers) or
with SAP’s own identity provider

Overview:
▪ Document Management contains document info records and their
originals.
▪ These can be replicated or pushed into collaboration in EPD, and
synchronized back to Document Management.
Overview:
▪ SAP Engineering Control Center (ECTR) supports sharing
and exchanging of data such as CAD drawings and
document info records (DIR) between the control center and
collaboration
You can perform the following processes in ECTR while working with SAP EPD:
▪ Selection
– In SAP Engineering Control Center, it is possible to select documents for export, which means that individual documents
can be assigned.
– Use the dedicated ‘collaboration workspace’ – a connection to SAP EPD is established and the collaboration workspace
of the current user is determined.
– The user then selects a collaboration workspace or a folder in a collaboration workspace as the export target.
– The assignment is made by selecting the source and target using drag and drop.
▪ Data Export
– The actual export takes place after the source and target have been selected as described above (drag and drop).
– The export functionality explodes the document structure according to the active loading rule and determines the
originals.
– The folders (DIRs) are created as folders and originals are created as files in the SAP EPD collaboration workspace.
– In collaboration, a PDF file is created for assemblies/document structures that reflects the document structure from the
SAP system. The file provides external engineers with information about the assembly structure.
▪ Import
– Re-import documents from a collaborative workspace easily and intuitively.

SAP Enterprise Product Development: backend integration – Part 1
Mandatory configurations in SAP Engineering Control Center
Overview:
▪ Collaborate on product data such as bills of material (BOM)
and order BOMs, and enable internal and external
stakeholders to propose changes using redlining.
This session shows the required configuration for the integration with:
DMS:
▪ The integration with SAP DMS enables companies to:
– Upload required documents from SAP S/4HANA DMS into collaboration
– Communicate efficiently using process-oriented workflows in collaboration
– Perform a safe and secure cloud-based collaborative change management where you
can involve your partners, suppliers, customers, other LoBs
– Synchronize back the revised documents into SAP S/4HANA DMS from collaboration
ECTR:
▪ The integration with SAP Engineering Control Center enables companies to:
– Exchange design data, such as native CAD data or drawings, for external engineers.
Once the external processor has finished processing the design data, the data can be
imported back into SAP Engineering Control Center
– Communicate efficiently using different communication methods in a collaboration such
as commenting, exchanging product data, and redlining markups
– Share accurate product data directly from the product design source
BOM:
▪ This enables companies to exchange BOMs in collaborations with their contract
manufactures

Exchange project development plan and objects across the extended enterprise through collaboration
Overview:
▪ SAP Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management contains projects
and portfolios.
▪ This integration helps to link collaboration to project elements as
object links.
Overview:
▪ SAP Enterprise Product Development lets you link requirements,
blocks, models and requirement models to SAP Portfolio and
Project Management objects such as portfolio items, project
management project, and project management tasks.
Share comprehensive product data in RFx processes across the extended enterprise
Overview:
▪ By integrating with SAP Ariba Sourcing, you can enable your
suppliers to access collaborations where you have shared content
related to sourcing objects or RFx (request for quotation, proposal, or
information)
Integration with SAP Ariba Sourcing:
▪ Suppliers can access the shared content related to sourcing objects
or RFx (request for quotation, proposal, or information)
▪ Suppliers can respond to sourcing projects with higher accuracy
▪ Suppliers can reduce the response time for an RFx event (request for
quotation, proposal, or information)
▪ Supports collaborative as well as competitive supplier scenarios
▪ SAP Enterprise Product Development (EPD) complements SAP Ariba
Sourcing for accomplishing a successful RFx project
▪ It is offered as a standard integration option

Customize and adapt the user interface (UI) in the My Collaborations app
Users with the UI5 flexibility role can customize the user
interface (UI) under My Collaborations app:
▪ A key user can make UI changes and publish on behalf of end users
– Adapt the UI
– Manage views (variants)
– Save UI changes as drafts
– Manage versions
▪ On releasing the adapted version of the application, the changes are
available for all the end users
▪ UI changes could be:
– Renaming a text on the UI controls, like buttons, labels etc.
– Adding or hiding fields
– Rearranging fields: dragging and dropping UI elements to
rearrange them
– Embedding content to header or section: embed content from
external applications or web sites to your app, e.g. external videos
or maps

SAP Enterprise Product Development: adapting the user interface
Demo
Summary
▪ A key user can make UI changes and publish on behalf
of end users – Users with the UI5 flexibility role can
customize the user interface (UI) with the My
Collaborations app
▪ Possible things to adapt in the user interface (UI)
– From embedding a map to renaming a button text, etc.
▪ What if you delete something important or even break
the app?
– No worries. Key user adaptation comes with a built-in
safety net.
– It informs you whenever you’re about to do something
that’s worth double-checking: for example, removing
mandatory fields from the UI.
– You can also undo your changes and even discard
them all and reset the UI to the default app.
