Features

  • This integration in the reporting transaction allows you to export the following objects to the cFolders system:

    • Dynamic order BOMs, knowledge-based BOMs using transaction CSK2

    • Result-oriented Order BOMs using transaction CSKB

    • WBS BOMs using transaction CSP2 or CSPB

    • Material BOMs using transaction CSMB

  • You can control the BOM levels or headers that you want to transfer.

  • During export, the system displays the last export date and last BOM change date. This information is useful for a delta export.

  • SAP provides you with two BAdIs for cFolders to control the cFolders collaboration name and folder structure. Sample implementations are available for each of these BAdIs.

  • You can select the explosion criteria you want to include in the export to cFolders. For example you can include a fully exploded BOM or can restrict the BOM information to a selected BOM level.

  • You can choose to include linked MPNs and linked documents with the BOM headers in your export.
