Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of computer technology, and in particular, relates to a method and system for configuring a trustworthy order combining PLM and SAP. Background Art

[0002] In the current production system, due to the long time span of each system going online, there are situations where the data of each system is not connected or the data intercommunication is insufficient, resulting in the following problems:

[0003] The front-end sales business generates a configuration order based on business needs in the Xinchuang Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. The materials required by the configuration order have been discontinued or are in short supply. The configuration order does not constitute a shipping rule. For example, if a certain component must be used with another component, or a certain component and another component cannot be used at the same time, the back-end factory will reject the order configuration when pre-reviewing it to the front-end sales business. The process needs to be initiated and reviewed multiple times, which greatly affects the delivery timeliness.

[0004] In terms of product specifications, the finished products in stock can be modified and configured, the semi-finished kits in stock can be assembled, or even just the supporting operating system or firmware of the finished products in stock can be changed, resulting in a backlog of stock machines and inventory, as well as pressure to purchase materials.

[0005] It can be seen that according to the existing new CRM system, the delivery time will be affected and the inventory of finished machine materials will be accumulated. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to make up for the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a method and system for configuring a trusted order by combining PLM and SAP.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0047] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for configuring a trust-based order combining PLM and SAP, including:

[0049] 101, when receiving product information creation order data, determining multiple modules required for producing the product according to the product information creation order data;

[0050] Among them, when the user receives customer demand from the business sales end, the product credible creation order data is produced, and the product credible creation order data is sent to the credible creation order configuration system that combines PLM and SAP of this application, and the multiple modules required for the production of the product are determined according to the product credible creation order data. The credible creation order data generally includes the required product model, quantity, etc. Usually, products are complete sets. According to the current product planning, products are assembled in modules, and each set of products usually contains multiple modules; a single module can be the smallest unit, or it can be composed of multiple units to form a module.

[0051] 102, determine the PN and PN code corresponding to each module;

[0052] In order to facilitate the management of a large number of modules, all modules are numbered in advance to obtain PNs, and the PNs are binary-coded to obtain PN codes, and the PN and PN code corresponding to each module are determined.

[0053] 103, extracting PN basic information from the PLM data according to the PN code, and extracting BOM component information corresponding to the PN from the PLM data;

[0054] Among them, PLM has a real-time updated master data list, each master data list contains PN code, according to the PN code, you can get the basic PN information from the PLM data, PN basic information includes material name, material classification and material group information; material name has certain naming rules, material name contains model information, parameter information, etc., according to the naming rules and basic information, you can mark each PN, such as: benchmark kit, OS kit, memory kit, etc., and then get the BOM composition information of PN from PLM. If PN is not used in any whole machine BOM, it will be automatically marked as dull (temporarily stagnant). BOM composition information includes multiple levels, each level contains multiple material units.

[0055] 104, extracting the PN inventory location information corresponding to the PN from the SAP inventory data;

[0056] Among them, the inventory location information of all materials in the warehouse is saved in the SAP system. Therefore, the PN inventory location information corresponding to the PN can be extracted by retrieving the SAP inventory data; the materials on each PN inventory location also need to be additionally judged for quality reliability, and only good materials can be added to the PN inventory location information.

[0057] 105. Generate a product configuration sheet based on BOM composition information and PN inventory location information, according to preset product module configuration rules and product modular dependency and mutual exclusion relationships;

[0058] The specific process of generating the product configuration list is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the process is as follows:

[0059] 201, determine the material unit in each level according to the BOM composition information;

[0060] Assume that the expression of the BOM composition information of a PN is BOM = [X1, X2, ..., X n ], indicating that the first level includes n material units, where X n Indicates the nth material unit;

[0061] 202, determining the substitution relationship between material units in each level according to the preset product module configuration rules;

[0062] The pre-set product module configuration rules are pre-set when the product is modularized. For example, if there are only two memory slots on a motherboard, only two memory sticks can be inserted. Assuming that X1 and X2 are different types of memory sticks in the first level, then X1 and X2 can replace each other, and the substitution relationship between X1 and X2 can be determined.

[0063] 203, determine the dependency and mutual exclusion relationship between material units in each level according to the dependency and mutual exclusion relationship of product modularization;

[0064] The mutually exclusive relationship of product modular dependency is obtained based on the assembly experience during product production, which can be manually preset or automatically generated by the system;

[0065] Dependency and mutual exclusion relationships include dependency and / or mutual exclusion relationships. Dependency relationships mean that two material units at the same level or different levels need to be used together.

[0066] The mutually exclusive relationship means that two material units of the same level or different levels cannot be used at the same time; for example, there are only 3 PCIE slots on the motherboard. Assuming that X4 needs to occupy 2 PCIE slots and X5 needs to occupy 3 PCIE slots, then X4 and X5 cannot be used at the same time, which is a mutually exclusive relationship.

[0067] 204, based on the substitution relationship and combined with the PN inventory location information, determine the producible quantity at each level;

[0068] S1, extract the target material unit of the first level; that is, BOM = [X1, X2, ..., X n ];

[0069] S2, determining whether the target material unit of the first level is the smallest unit component;

[0070] Since the target material unit X1-X nContains n items, all of which need to be traversed and judged. Take X1 as an example to determine whether the target material unit X1 of the first level is the smallest unit part;

[0071] S3, if it is a minimum unit component, determine whether there is a first material unit in the first level that has a substitution relationship with the target material unit;

[0072] S4, if the first material unit exists, the total quantity of the target material unit and the first material unit is obtained in combination with the PN inventory location information as the producible quantity of the target material unit;

[0073] S5, if the first material unit does not exist, the quantity of the target material unit is obtained in combination with the PN inventory location information as the producible quantity of the target material unit;

[0074] S6, if it is not the smallest unit, obtain the composition of X1 X1 = [X 1-1 , X 1-2 , ..., X 1-m ], m represents the number of material units contained in the next level of X1, and the smallest unit component is determined for each material unit in X1, that is, steps S2 to S5 are repeatedly executed until the smallest unit component is reached;

[0075] S7, combining steps S1 to S6, the producible quantity of each level in the BOM component information can be obtained.

[0076] 205, based on the producible quantities of all levels and combined with the dependent and mutually exclusive relationships, a product configuration list is obtained.

[0077] Among them, according to the producible quantity of all levels, the quantity of different material units in each level is determined according to the dependent mutually exclusive relationship, and the final producible quantity of all levels is obtained, and the product configuration list is obtained according to the final producible quantity.

[0078] 106. Determine the maximum assembly quantity of the product corresponding to the production product order data according to the product configuration sheet.

[0079] Among them, the maximum assembly quantity of the product that can be assembled can be determined based on the product configuration list, thereby determining how many products can be produced in the product order data.

[0081] When receiving product information creation order data, determine the multiple modules required for the production of the product based on the product information creation order data; determine the material number PN and PN code corresponding to each module; extract the PN basic information from the PLM data based on the PN code, and extract the BOM composition information corresponding to the PN from the PLM data; extract the PN inventory location information corresponding to the PN from the enterprise management solution SAP inventory data; generate a product configuration sheet based on the BOM composition information and PN inventory location information, according to the preset product module configuration rules and product modular dependency mutual exclusion relationship; determine the maximum assembly quantity of the product corresponding to the production product order data based on the product configuration sheet. Combined with PLM data and SAP inventory data, establish data interoperability and data binding relationships between the business sales end, product production end, and material storage warehouse end, so as to determine the maximum assembly quantity of the product corresponding to the generated product order data, improve the efficiency of the delivery process from sales to production, optimize the warehousing and procurement structure, and consume backlog inventory.
