Mas­te­ring pro­ducts with many vari­ants requi­res effi­ci­ent hand­ling of vari­ant manage­ment. One solu­ti­on here is the modu­la­riza­ti­on of pro­ducts, which typi­cal­ly leads to a mul­ti-level pro­duct struc­tu­re with parts lists and com­plex, exten­si­ve pri­ce struc­tures.

As one of the mar­ket lea­ders in the ERP sec­tor, SAP® offers estab­lished and powerful struc­tures for map­ping the­se com­plex models (= KMATs, con­fi­gura­ble mate­ri­al). This includes effec­ti­ve repre­sen­ta­ti­on through powerful admi­nis­tra­ti­on struc­tures, manage­ment of bills of mate­ri­als (BOMs), depen­den­cy map­ping in the KMATs and cal­cu­la­ti­on sche­mas for pri­cing. A digi­tal sales pro­cess builds on the­se struc­tures with the aim of sel­ling cus­to­mi­zed pro­ducts and solu­ti­ons using a con­fi­gu­ra­tor. The inte­gra­ti­on sce­na­rio with CREALIS® CPQ opens up fur­ther pos­si­bi­li­ties, such as the expan­si­on of pro­duct logic through gui­ded sel­ling via the intui­ti­ve CREALIS® PDM sys­tem, which is not pos­si­ble in SAP® as stan­dard. From sui­ta­ble info­gra­phics to dyna­mic 3D visua­liza­ti­ons, CREALIS® CPQ sup­ports the user.

The seam­less inte­gra­ti­on of CREALIS® CPQ with SAP® sys­tems has pro­ven to be a key advan­ta­ge in hel­ping com­pa­nies to make their pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on pro­ces­ses more effi­ci­ent. CREALIS® CPQ acces­ses the SAP® IPC (= Inter­net Pri­cing and Con­fi­gu­ra­tor), which was pre­vious­ly sup­pli­ed with the KMAT models from SAP® ERP.

With the tran­si­ti­on from SAP® ECC to SAP® S/4HANA, CREALIS® CPQ has fur­ther deve­lo­ped its inte­gra­ti­on opti­ons by now using the VCP (= Vari­ant Con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on and Pri­cing). This inno­va­ti­ve solu­ti­on enables a smooth cou­pling with SAP® S/4HANA , ensu­ring effec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing of KMATs at run­time. This advance­ment means that com­pa­nies can now bene­fit from even fas­ter and more accu­ra­te pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on, fur­ther incre­asing their com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness. The fle­xi­bi­li­ty and power of CREALIS® CPQ com­bi­ned with the advan­ced capa­bi­li­ties of SAP® S/4HANA open up new oppor­tu­ni­ties for com­pa­nies to best meet their cus­to­mer needs while opti­mi­zing their sales pro­ces­ses. Fur­ther advan­ta­ges of a com­pre­hen­si­ve SAP® con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on solu­ti­on can be found here.
