Comprehensive Product Costing — Build flexible, hierarchical cost structures with real-time roll-ups, multi-currency support, and dynamic overhead calculation.
Lifecycle & Profitability Analysis — Analyze cost, margin, and cash flow over the full product lifecycle — from concept to ramp-up and production.
Sustainability by Design — Integrate carbon footprint metrics and emission factors directly into cost calculations to balance profit and planet.
Variants & Reference Calculations — Reuse components, simulate product variants, and compare multiple versions side by side for faster decision-making.
Smart Price Determination — Automate price sourcing across ERP, supplier, and market data to ensure consistent, traceable, and up-to-date cost inputs.
Predictive Costing — Use AI to estimate costs for new products or incomplete designs, leveraging historical and external data for early-stage accuracy.
What-If Simulations — Model raw material changes, labor shifts, or currency fluctuations to understand risk and sensitivity across scenarios.
Optimization — Let AI recommend the most cost-efficient sourcing or manufacturing options based on real-world constraints to optimize costs alongside profits.
Automated Anomaly Detection — Identify outliers, missing data, or inconsistencies automatically to maintain data quality and costing integrity.
Analytics & Insights Hub — Access instant dashboards, cost breakdowns, and trend analyses to turn data into actionable intelligence.
Collaboration — Collaborate securely across departments using authorization-based access to real costing data. Work together on one shared version of truth to validate, enrich, and finalize calculations.
Structured Change Management — Manage cost and design changes through governed workflows with redlining, audit trails, and approval checkpoints — ensuring traceability and compliance at every step.
Stakeholder & Approval Workflows — Coordinate reviews and approvals seamlessly across engineering, finance, procurement, and suppliers with SAP Build Process Automation for faster decision cycles.
Intra- & Inter-Enterprise Costing — Enable controlled collaboration within and across enterprises. Share selected data securely for joint costing, supplier feedback, or external validation — all while maintaining data ownership and security.
Extensibility without Limits — Extend PLP with custom fields and formulas to tailor calculations and data models to your business needs — without touching the core.
