For decades, SAP has provided tools for efficient management of bills of material for virtually any business process - no matter whether it concerns early-phase CAD structures mapped by way of document BOMs, engineering BOMs (EBOMs), manufacturing BOMs (MBOMs) or service BOMs. And of course, all this can be done with or without variants, with access to a wide range of options and, if required, fully integrated with SAP change management.

To keep product structures of different BOMs synchronized during change processes, SAP GSS provides the means for automatic or partially automatic BOM reconciliation.

The SAP Material Master is the core element of many SAP processes. Its view concept for virtually any organizational unit makes it powerful and flexible at the same time, allowing you to access all relevant product data of any given component and giving you full control of all relevant processes.

SAP 3D Visual Enterprise provides a means for generating neutral-format 3D data from native 3D data and link them with data from logistics, service, warehousing, project planning and other divisions - in real time.

The Visual Manufacturing Planner assists you in generating and managing manufacturing structures (MBOMs) and work schedules. Based on engineering BOMs, (EBOMs) or CAD structures, the structures needed for logistics processes can be generated via a visually guided planning process.
