SPEED STEP PDM® INTERFACE
At the beginning of the project, the work processes of a company and also the capacity of the leading systems need to be clarified. The outcome of this clarifies which data have to be maintained in the particular systems. As a guideline, there is a consideration of the "classical" functions of both systems.
There can be a definition of data transfer from Speed Step PDM to ERP solution according to the model status in the PDM system. So that the data available is in the desired quality, a completeness check can be done before the data transfer based on specific validation criteria(s). The structure of a company also defines the scope of the interface. To give an example, there can be the description of an article in PDM system with a material list, but in ERP system they are working without a material list because the company works contractually.
