This year’s European autumn conference CWG (Configuration Workgroup) will take place from 13.–17. October 2024 in Dubrovnik and is accompanied by ORISA as gold sponsor. We are looking forward to meeting the CPQ community in Croatia to discuss among other things the advantages of an SAP® variant configuration and latest trends.
CPQ (Configure Price Quote) is crucial for dealing with a wide range of products and the associated management of product variants. SAP® is one of the market leaders in the field of ERP and offers proven and powerful structures for mapping these complex models known as KMATs (configurable material). This includes effective administrative structures, the management of bills of materials (BOM), the mapping of dependencies in the KMATs and calculation schemes for pricing.
The seamless integration of CREALIS® CPQ into SAP® systems is an advantage for optimizing product configuration processes. CREALIS® CPQ uses the SAP® IPC (Internet Pricing and Configurator) which was previously filled with the KMAT models from SAP® ERP. Integration with CREALIA® CPQ opens a wide range of possibilities for elegant designed sales processes in B2B or B2C and efficiently mapping product variation for everyone involved. For example the product logic can be conveniently supplemented by Guided Selling using the user-friendly CREALIS® PDM system or the CPQ application can be enhanced with attractive infographics and dynamic 3D visualizations. The separation of sales views and technical views is one of the challenges that often causes large configurator projects to fail. With the integration solution clear processes can be established in the modeling world, while the end users get a seamless CPQ solution in their hands.
Mit dem Übergang von SAP® ECC zu SAP® S/4HANA verbessert CREALIS® seine Integrationsmöglichkeiten und verwendet dazu die VCP (Variant Configuration and Pricing). Diese innovative Lösung ermöglicht eine reibungslose Anbindung an SAP® S/4HANA und gewährleistet eine effektive Verarbeitung der KMATs in Echtzeit. Unternehmen profitieren von einer schnelleren und präziseren Produktkonfiguration, was ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit steigert. Die Kombination aus der Flexibilität und Leistungsfähigkeit von CREALIS® CPQ und den erweiterten Funktionen von SAP® S/4HANA eröffnet neue Chancen, um Kundenbedürfnisse bestmöglich umzusetzen und Vertriebsprozesse zu optimieren.
