Integration Capabilities of SAP EPD Across the SAP Ecosystem

As a part of the ecosystem, SAP EPD integrates seamlessly with an existing SAP landscape, allowing you to create a single space for your business operations coordination and establish seamless data exchange. Here’s the list of the most beneficial integrations: 

  • SAP S/4HANA: Integration with SAP S/4HANA ensures access to material data, specifications, production processes, orders, and quality management. SAP S/4HANA integration helps streamline and coordinate engineering and production data.
  • SAP PLM: As a part of next-gen SAP PLM solutions, SAP EPD supports collaborative development processes, requirements management, specifications, and change management.
  • SAP Engineering Control Center (ECTR): SAP ECTR enables the transfer of CAD data into SAP and its utilization in the development process and engineering document management. It also simplifies data exchange between engineering systems and SAP EPD.
  • SAP Document Management System (DMS): SAP EPD utilizes SAP DMS for handling documentation within collaborative projects, providing centralized storage and management of technical documentation and specifications. 
  • SAP Enterprise Product Engineering (EPE): Utilize SAP EPE to expand capabilities for collaborative development and management of product structures (BOM) and digital twins.
  • SAP Intelligent Product Design: Integration with SAP Intelligent Product Design enables collaborative product development in the cloud with support for commenting and real-time co-editing.

SAP EPD Integration Scenarios

Here are the most prominent examples of how SAP EPD can help businesses boost their development processes with the help of integrations with other SAP solutions.
Engineers can design components in a CAD system via SAP ECTR and synchronize them with SAP DMS to further utilize them in SAP EPD for improvements and collaboration.

Dev team synchronization

Design data from SAP EPD can be leveraged in SAP S/4HANA to initiate manufacturing, perform cost assessments, and conduct resource planning.

Streamlined data usage

All changes to designs and specifications are tracked through integrated SAP PLM change management processes.
