Quotation With IPPE Structure.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts...

I have a scenario where i wish create a quotation with variant configuration (like building block J66), but my customer use the IPPE to manage the product structure (no super bom or super router). Anybody have a documentation or experience to share against quotation with IPPE and variant configuration? Its possible explode the IPPE structure in a quotation?

Best Regards,

Richard.

Hi,

your client would probably need to convert the iPPE structure into classic configurable (sales) material BOM. iPPE has 2 primary use cases:

1. Repetitive Manufacturing in Automotive

2. Engineering product structure (today, in SAP PLM web UI, this is called Product Structure Management) - to be converted into classic configurable sales/manufacturing material BOM (today, done through Guided Structure Synchronization).

I guess your customer is using ECC DIMP 5.0 or the DIMP switch in ECC 6.0? Which of both? Which industry?

Hence iPPE is not available directly for explosion in quotation processing.
