SAP Product Lifecycle Costing (PLC) Add-ins
Innovate, Excel, and Reduce Time to Market Request ContactEasy & accurate Product Lifecycle Costing
One key success factor when launching new products or services is to make cost management simpler and more transparent.
The SAP solution “Product Lifecycle Costing (PLC)” enables you to calculate cost at an early stage of the product life cycle and provides transparency in the decision-making process. Moreover, it creates detailed cost estimates to identify savings even before the design starts and swiftly identifies cost drivers along the entire life cycle. Together with our add-in framework for PLC, we have the perfect fit for your needs.
Simulation Cockpit
In the typical manufacturing (Automotive / Discrete / Others) organization, cost of the product is a prime factor. Every organization is continuously trying to optimize the cost of the product, cost of production, cost of procured items, cost of innovations, cost of technology advancement etc.
While all being (as said above) is being achieved with the consistent effort all across from the organization, it is important and inevitable to know the impact of such change on the overall cost.
While SAP PLC (OOTB) provides you the capability to plan the cost of the product and its lifecycle during the production as well, it however does not give the opportunity to simulate the cost based on various factors, such as Raw material price variations, Make or Buy decision, Intra company production decision, Efficiency improvement etc.
Therefore, a capability to simulate the current v/s potentially new cost is must for an organization to plan the cost impact in advance to avoid any failure to launch new product on time, complete the overall production on time, and achieve the minimum delta in planned v/s actual cost of the product.
Simulation Cockpit allows your organization to simulate multiple costing scenarios to arrive at the best/optimized cost of the product – before committing valuable resources.

Import Master Data
While SAP PLC (OOTB) has a seamless integration with SAP ERP to replicate all required master data to SAP HANA, however often customers are lagging in maintaining all the required master data in ERP and it lies most of the time in shared network drives and or in MS excel or in legacy system. This master data mostly relates with the Material & Activity and their prices.
Our addin gives customer an opportunity to bring all these kind of master data from locally maintained and or other legacy system to the system-based master data through excel upload capability to SAP HANA,
