ROADMAP AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – 2016RELEASE 1.0
2016 Goal: “Implement optimized Material and BOM extension Process”Initial “Quick Win” functionality that can be implemented in the existing environment Upgrade Material Master and BOM extension functionality
Implement LeverX BMAX tool Optimizes the extension process within the existing workflow
LEVERX BMAX
BMAX = BOM Material Allocation EXtension
A LeverX developed solution. It is a SAP add-on used to enable rapid extension of BOMs and material masters to production plants and other organizational areas based on a rules engine
LEVERX BMAX
The Rules Navigator allows you to easily navigate, and manage rules. Navigator includes the capability to edit, create, copy, or delete existing rules.
LEVERX BMAX
The Rules Engine allows you to concisely define extension rules for each field of the Material Master
ROADMAP AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – 2016RELEASE R1.5 PILOT LOCATIONS
2016 Goal: “Update Engineering Change Management processes, Implement solution improvements” Upgrade Engineering Change Management processes
Build optimized process foundation Define common new material create process built on QN notification functionality Eliminate classification screen use as a repository for new create information, and replace
with notification process Create “Web-Saleable” class
Integrate Material Master and BOM extension functionality into SAP notification process
Integrate BMAX material extension system tasks into workflow
Enable Master Data Governance Process Management Update security roles Lock down data create/change functions
Implement Enterprise Search Build TREX server
ROADMAP AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – 2017 RELEASE R1.7 ENTERPRISE
2017 Goal: “Implement Infrastructure build-out needed for PLM-MDM roadmap” Upgrade SAP ECC to EhP7
