ERP CALCULATION TOOL SOFTWARE
In order to access transactional data that is accessible in the SAP ERP system, such as a bill of material, routing or document structure, the expert front-end software component can access the SAP ERP system directly and pull data. The SAP LT Replication Server software component must be installed separately.ĭepending on the license of the third-party database on which the SAP ERP system is running, replication may be used for initial load only (run-time license) or for continuous replication (full license). The application can access the master data available in an SAP ERP system using SAP LT Replication Server to make this data accessible for SAP Product Lifecycle Costing by copying the data into the SAP HANA system.

To accomplish this, the minimal system landscape scenario can be extended. SAP Product Lifecycle Costing can leverage and access existing master data and transactional data using external communication channels. The standalone deployment is recommended whenever there is no need to consume data that is accessible in an SAP ERP system, such as existing master data ( BoM, Routings, Materials etc). It can be deployed as a stand-alone or integrated with an existing solution landscape to calculate variables of cost in real time using data from your enterprise software. From release 4.1 of PLC the solution is available in Cloud as well. The SAP PLC can be deployed on HANA system as a stand-alone or as a side by side with an existing ERP system. The PLC solution works with both structured data (BoM, Routings, Business Processes etc) to unstructured data ( custom formulae, variable items, text items etc). The solution can be used by design team to come up with product cost at a very early stage of product development.įrom the below snap shot you can figure out that the solution works from Product development phase and goes right up to the product launch. We can simulate and compare alternatives to gain better visibility and control throughout the product life cycle. SAP PLC helps in the calculation of product costs quickly and precisely. In this blog post we will gain high level insights into the SAP Product Lifecycle Costing (SAP PLC) solution features.
