Integration with SAP

[Levent_Engin]

Do we have integration of OnBase CAD Services with SAP PLM - PDM modules?

Hi Levent-

While we don't have a direct (API, menu-level) integration with SAP PLM - PDM, but we can store CAD files (and other related documents) in OnBase, connecting them to SAP via Application Enabler, etc.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Colleen, hi.

We are negotiating with a company that are using SAP PLM - PDM modules and interested in OnBase CAD Services modules to use in document management and workflow.  They  would also like to send the results of the workflow to SAP PLM - PDM for a production decision. If they decide to produce a product as a result of the workflow they would like to post it to SAP, if not data will be staying in OnBase.

1. How can we make document management integration ie. viewing a CAD document and related docuements from a SAP PLM - PDM screen?  Is Application Enabler only option?

2. How can we post the production decision after the workflow in OnBase start a transaction in SAP?  It is like if they decide to make a production of a tea glass they would like to send the data to SAP( product details, bill of materials) and SAP PLM to give a new product number to the new product and start transaction.  Can we do this using EIS - BizTalk Server SAP Connector? Did you make a similar installation?  What would be the best way for this level of integration?

Thanks.
