SAP Enterprise Product Engineering (EPE)
Unlock the power of visualization to improve productivity and decision-making with SAP EPE implemented by the LeverX team.



What is SAP Enterprise Product Engineering (EPE)?
SAP Enterprise Product Engineering (EPE) is a built-in SAP S/4HANA functionality designed to manage engineering data, product structures, and change management processes.
It is the successor to SAP PLM 7.0 functionality and is fully integrated into the SAP S/4HANA core.
SAP Enterprise Product Engineering is a powerful software tool offered by SAP that allows companies to manage and improve their product engineering workflows. It enables them to create a seamless transition from product design and engineering to production and service. This comprehensive solution contains a variety of functionalities, including product data management, engineering change management, bill of materials management, and collaborative features. Altogether, these result in an integrated platform that optimizes product engineering operations. Thanks to SAP Enterprise Product Engineering, companies can benefit from accelerated innovation, faster time-to-market, better product quality, and increased efficiency across their engineering processes. SAP EPE enables you to:
- Accelerate innovation and efficiency
- Shorten time-to-market and improve product quality
- Harness the power of SAP RDP to optimize product engineering
- Employ an integrated platform with advanced product data management and engineering change management features
