What is VisualSAP ?
VisualSAP is a program that analyzes dependencies and characteristics in a SAP bom providing:
- Faster reading
- Faster understanding of dependencies and characteristics interaction
- Faster troubleshooting
- Faster configuration of a BOM
- More additional ways of configuring a BOM for analysis purposes
Do you save time using VisualSAP?
Yes the user saves a lot if time in:
- Reading a bom with variants
- Analyzing the configuration of the bom
- Configuring BOMs for check purposes
Who uses VisualSAP
- Master Data Maintainers
- Technicians (Mechanical designers)
- Anyone working with BOM’s with variants
- Anyone working with the product configurator
MDM’s are the ones that most likely can save huge amounts of hours in the daily usage of the tool.
Mechanical Designers will most likely have an huge improvement in the quality of their work and a reasonable advantage in terms of time.
Other roles will have benefits depending on how much they interact with configured BOM’s.
Does VisualSAP prevent errors?
Yes VisualSAP prevents possible errors in creating and compiling configured BOM’s.
- Enables a faster analysis on the configured bom to see if it works properly
- Provides warnings of possible dependency inconsistencies of two different BOM’s at two different levels
- Makes analysis faster and more readable, therefore reducing the effort and preventing mistakes
Does VisualSAP explain why it provides a specific configuration result?
Yes VisualSAP always shows the dependencies which are still “switched on” therefore explaining the reason of the result
Can I store a configuration for later?
Yes you can store configurations to use them later.
The advantages are:
- It is not time consuming
- Prevents manual digit mistakes
- Same configuration can be applied to different BOM’s / different machines
Do I need a server and a database to run VisualSAP?
No you don’t need a server.
It is enough to install it on a pc.
Bom’s are saved locally in a safe way (Bom’s are encrypted).
Can you create an historical archive of BOM’s?
Yes with VisualSAP you can create an historical archive of BOMs following the configurator logic that was available at that time
Which is the maximum complexity level of BOMs?
There is no theoretical limit to the complexity of BOMs
SI possono vedere errori di impostazioni nella logica delle Regole?
Can you directly open cad drawings in VisualSAP?
Yes VisualSAP can be connected to the company’s drawing viewer
Does VisualSAP interact with SAP?
Yes VisualSAP can interact with the SAP Gui
For example if you select a component in VisualSAP you can ask to open immediately a SAP window and see the related MM03 transaction (Display Material Master) or CS03 (Display BOM)
