DMS-13007

Product sourcing features of SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing Suite support integration of engineering change orders (ECOs) and provide the following capabilities:

-Ability to search for materials and BOMs based on their change numbers.

-Ability to view BOM change details and item change details from the dashboard.

-Ability to view BOM changes associated with a change number.

-Support for ChangeNumber and RevisionLevel in ItemMaster.

-Enhancements to BOM CSV files to:

-import change master fields.

-associate change number with BOM and revision level with material.

-Ability to view change number and revision level from the sourcing workflows.

-Ability to collect estimated price and contracted price for the latest revision level of an item.

-Ability to compare prices of an item across revision levels.

A new SOAP web service is added to upload change master data from ERP to product sourcing. The change master contains change number, change valid from date, change reason, and change description.

Specifications for negotiated parts suffer several changes during their lifecycle. Buyers were not able to track changes to parts via associated change numbers and initiate sourcing activities based on that. Buyers did not have visibility into the changes and had to go to multiple systems to track that information, which was an inefficient use of their time.

Buyers can now view, search, compare and track Engineering Change numbers within the product sourcing dashboard. They can also proceed with tendering activities using the latest revisions. This saves the buyer time by bringing this information from diverse systems into product sourcing and gaining additional insights into Engineering Changes.
