Implementing special customer requirements: Automation, optimization, integration

In addition to its standard solutions, CIDEON also develops numerous add-ons to implement special customer requirements in the SAP environment. Many add-ons have proven their value in practice and guarantee the optimal, smooth creation, versioning and release of CAD specific documents, particularly in the context of SAP PLM CAD integrations.More than 50 of these field-tested tools, many with considerable scopes of function, facilitate easy administration and optimized processes for nearly all common process steps in the management of materials, parts lists and changes in SAP. Specifically, this pertains to the creation of material, design and manufacturing parts lists as well as the change process.

Document info records (DIRs) and materials automatically named based on suggested values

Search helps improve the user-friendliness of SAP transactions and help keep data uniform. CIDEON Naming Catalog makes it possible for you to automatically name your document info records (DIRs) based on suggested values. Users can transfer new values directly from Naming Catalog depending on their authorization – to Naming Catalog master data.

CIDEON Naming Catalog facilitates the creation and configuration of search helps in multiple languages for standard and customer Dynpro fields for the SAP system without programming or modifications. Standardized suggested values keep master data uniform, thereby helping to avoid extra data administration and duplicates in subsequent processes.In the end, users benefit from considerable cost savings and markedly more efficient processes as a result of this significant reduction of effort.

User-friendly and efficient processes

CIDEON Naming Catalog supports the creation and configuration of search helps in multiple languages for standard and customer Dynpro fields. Users benefit from the systematic naming conventions for DIRs and materials in the SAP system.

Access to the catalog is fully integrated and available with the corresponding object. Easy, structured administration of object naming in connection with the considerable added functional value and time savings ensures greater efficiency in your processes.

Predefined templates, which make standard properties (e.g. length or diameter) available to the user in the

form of placeholders, ensure maximum convenience and user-friendliness.As a result of its perfect interoperability with other CIDEON products and its ease of configuration in existing system environments, CIDEON Naming Catalog can be adapted without extensive programming.

As a standardized add-on, CIDEON Naming Catalog is covered by our software maintenance program, which guarantees your investment for the long term through continuous product support.

Standardized suggested values keep master data uniform, thereby helping to avoid redundant data ad-ministration and duplicates in subsequent processes

� Manual translation into multiple languages by the end user is replaced by one-time administration of the suggested values

� The end user assigns names easily in his logon language using a standard SAP search help and has the option of using not only the standard search help functions such as a personal hit list, but also automatic translation

� Selection sets in the search helps can be specified by configuring a filter, e.g. by document type

� Creating a first database and translating the suggested values into other languages can be easily carried out by means of a .csv import/export, which can be translated, for instance, by an external translation agency

� Monitoring reports allow step-by-step harmonization of master data or adding to the suggested values

� Search helps can easily be created and configured for documents and material descriptions as well as for other Dynpro fields (e.g. log field, authorization group, etc.) with the help of a wizard

� Templates can be used to limit the selection sets in the search helps for end users as much as possible

� The appearance of the search helps can be configured � Clean-up functions can be used to analyze the basic data of the tool with a single mouse click in order to guarantee that the search helps perform optimally

� Practice-tested and proven standard tool that offers protection of your investment with standardization and software maintenance
