April 2025 SAP IPD Update Blog Banner.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the latest edition of this blog series, bringing you the most recent updates on SAP Integrated Product Development!

April 2025 brings the following highlights for your business:

Collaboration
Editing of configured custom fields in the collaboration header
In the My Collaborations app, when creating a collaboration, collaboration administrators can select or enter values to set up custom fields for collaboration headers. During editing, they can also modify or select these values. Custom collaboration header fields display according to the collaboration type configuration. These values appear in the header section of the collaboration.

Formulation
Ability to reflect evaporation and absorption in formulas
Formulas can now account for evaporation and absorption processes during production using a balancing item, which indicates the amount of water or another substance that is evaporated (negative value) or absorbed (positive value).

Specification Management
Specifications without deletable status are protected
You can configure statuses in Status Management with or without the deletable action. If a status without the deletable action is assigned to a specification, you can't use the delete button to delete that specification in the Manage Specifications app. This helps prevent the deletion of important specifications, such as released ones.
