Question

Plant View Revision integration to SAP

Is anyone using Plant Views in Windchill and doing integration to SAP? If I update the BOM of a Material in Plant A and then update the BOM in Plant B at a time in the future, what Revsion are you sending to the Maerial in SAP? SAP only allows for Revision at the Master level and does not allow for a plant specific revision.

Thanks for you help.

Hello

today we do not use Plant view behind the Manufacturing view, as in most of case our mBOM are similar on different production sites.

And choose to create different Destination targets for our different Sites

but have exactly the same use cases with "Alternates BOMs" which are also "derivatives versions" of the same Part master

And as it is the same part number/ material master (ie same physical part, interchangeable , whatever is the way or the plant we produce it), we choose to publish the "upstream Part version"(Design View). the versions of the Manuf view and each alternate represent "only" a manuf BOM change, ie a manufacturing process change. Not a change of the part himself.

For example for a part that exists in Design View (version B), with 2 Alternates BOM view manufacturing (version B for Alt1 and version D for Alt2), we send version B

integrity between views and versions are maintained by the equivalence link

OOTB usage of the ERPmaterial in MPMLink and ESI interface does the same behaviour
