Customer webinar with end-to-end demo on CTO+ - Configure-to-Order with ETO Special Requests, June 26, 2025, 4pm CET / 10 am EST

While we have outlined the quote-to-cash end to end flow for configure-to-order across SAP CPQ, SAP Commerce Cloud, 3rd party applications, and SAP S/4HANA with Advanced Variant Configuration, in past sessions, in this webinar we would like to show you the end-to-end process for CTO+, including a detailed demo.

The end-to-end Configure-to-Order Plus (CTO+) process enhances the traditional quote-to-cash cycle by accommodating both configured products and customer-specific engineering requests. It begins when a customer places an order for a configurable product that includes an additional Engineer-to-Order (ETO) requirement. SAP CPQ is used to configure the product, calculate pricing, costing, and margins, ensuring the offer is accurate and competitive. This front-end process may be supported by SAP Commerce Cloud or integrated third-party applications.

Once the configuration is completed, Cideon Conify automatically generates a CAD drawing of the configured product. This drawing is accessible directly from SAP CPQ and can be used for factory automation and virtual simulations in platforms like Nvidia Omniverse. If the customer requires additional engineering (ETO), the CAD drawing can be extended using SAP Engineering Control Center (ECTR) and the CAD system. Standard assemblies from the configured bill of materials (BOM) are reused, and new order-specific assemblies are created within the CAD environment.

After the engineering changes are finalized, the updated CAD data is transferred to SAP S/4HANA. This data forms an order-specific BOM, which is then released to production. The manufacturing process proceeds based on this customized BOM, ensuring that the final product meets the unique specifications requested by the customer. This integrated approach streamlines the handling of both standard and special orders within an integrated process and a high degree of automation.
