Background documentationCustomizing for DMU Viewing (PLM Web UI)

 

You define the enterprise-specific settings for digital mockup viewing in Customizing for Document Management under Start of the navigation path Cross-Application Components Next navigation step Document Management End of the navigation path. Some data is already preset in the standard SAP system. Verify that this data is also correct and complete for your enterprise.

Special DMU Settings

Under Control Data, make settings in the following Customizing activities:

  • Define Document Types

    Define a document type that you can use to manage the original application files that you create using the CAD interface. The interface is used when working with CAD drawings and the SAP system. For storing and checking in original application files, you must use the Knowledge Provider.

    Under Define Object Links, enter the document assignment for the following entries:

    • PNODID for the assignment to a product node

    • POSVID for the assignment to a product variant

  • Maintain Screen for Object Link

    Screens are already part of the standard SAP system and are required for links to product nodes and product variants.

    Verify the following entries or add others to them:

    Object

    Screen

    PNODID (PPE Node)

    500

    POSVID (PPE Variant)

    500

  • Maintain Key Fields

    Key fields are already part of the standard SAP system and are required for links to product nodes and product variants.

    Verify the following entries or add others to them:

    Object

    Field Name

    PNODID (PPE Node)

    PNGUID

    POSVID (PPE Variant)

    PVGUID

    More entries (such as transaction codes) are not necessary for these link objects because the data is read internally.

Settings for Conversion

When you use the CAD interface to transfer CAD data to the SAP system, the CAD files are converted into visual 3D files (such as *.jt).

Settings for the Integrated Viewer

You can display your product with the integrated viewer of the standard SAP system. For more information about the required settings, see Integration of Viewer for DMU Viewing (PLM Web UI).
