Tool

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am looking out for a 3rd party tool which could provide the below mentioned features.

The Software should have the following features :

- can be implemented together with SAP R/3 4.6c

- minimize licence fee and cost for software

- can be run under OS "AIX 5.2"

- Tools must have functionality where items in the graphical picture can be selected by clicking the item (part number)

- If i click on a particular part of the picture, then it should Zoom In. It should also have the Zoom Out & Pan feature.

- SAP PDM & SAP Netweaver should not be required to install the product.

If anyone has any idea about the product which meets above requirement, then pls. mail the same.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Prashant

Hi Prashant!

Somehow I'm missing the main point. My IrfanView has maybe some problems with AIX 5.2, but otherwise you can pick items (= filenames) by clicking them and zoom in and out.

Should this trigger any order in SAP? Do you want to make an internet store?

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Well the requirement is as follows :-

On the selection screen of SAP R/3 there would be a field of MATERIAL NUMBER. When user presses F4 function button, then R/3 should display a image eg. Car with all the main parts displayed with material Nos. & Name.

Then if user clicks on Tyre, then a big image of Tyre with all the details ( Rim, bolts, nuts etc ) should be displayed with their respective Material Numbers & Name of the part. When user Clicks on a Bolt, then that Material Number should be caputred & displayed on the Selection screen field.

Please someone throw some light on this. How should this be achieved.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Prashant

Hi Prashant!

Wow, what a nice tool (or should I say dream?)!

Let's asume you have a fixed component list for 'car'. Then you would need something, which knows the translation of 'area tyre' to component 13 in list.

But how to reflect changes in component list? New entry, changed material (which causes maybe internal re-sorting)... looks like hell to me.

Let's asume you have a dynamic component list -> variant configuration. Then attributes (like color) change the final components of your order. Can't even imagine, how a picture driven tool should do the conversion into materials unless you build in the whole business logic.

I have currently something in mind, which looks like the tools used by BMW, VW, Peugeot... to configure 'dream' cars in internet pages. That are applications, highly individual and just on 'package' level. You can get several thousand variants, but only based on some dozend attributes (engine, tires, size, radio...) and a dozend different possibilities. But more based on a value list (choose your color: red, green, blue) with prices. Nevertheless neither easy, nor standard (of anything I know).

Tomorrow is my automotive collegue back. But I'm pretty sure, they never connected internet shop with SAP up to now.

Good luck for your search,

Hi Christian,

Actually we are not retrieving material nos. from database. The images would be scanned images along with material nos. What we want is to capture the mouse co-ordinates where the user has clicked & then check the Z Table for corresponding Co-ordinates & then fetch the Material No. & display it in the screen field.

What we are looking for is basically a tool/product which would help us in achieving this.

Any pointers would be beneficial.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Prashant

Create a Z program & stored the coordinates in a Z table.
