📣SAP Digital Manufacturing 25.05 Release is coming out in Quality spaces on 3rd of May, and in Productive spaces on 18th of May. 🔥

See my personal highlights below:

Introduction of the ‘Panel’ and 'Location' concepts in Manage Materials app, the first wave of a staged development

You can create panel materials by setting Panel Material to Yes in the Manage Materials app and setting up location data in the Locations section of the Manage Materials app.

🧩 Custom POD Plugins deployed directly in POD Designer are now usable in the Design Production Processes app

Custom POD plugins deployed using POD Designer can now be made available in the Design Production Processes app. Previously, custom POD plugins were only exposed to the Design Production Processes app when deployed using SAP Business Application Studio.

ManoelCosta_0-1746660336112.png🛠Routing and BOM Upversioning on specific change conditions

  1. You can trigger the upversioing of BOMs in SAP Digital Manufacturing by changing the setting for the backflushing enablement or the value of a BOM component batch number in an integrated SAP ERP system. This type of upversioing is valid for orders before and after the release.
  2. You can trigger the upversioning of order-specific routings in SAP Digital Manufacturing by changing standard value key parameter values in an integrated SAP ERP system. This type of upversioing is valid for orders before and after the release.

🌍Time Zone Settings are now supported for Timers in Manage Automatic Triggers

When creating or editing a timer in the Manage Automatic Triggers app, you can now set your preferred time zone. This saves you from manual activities when the timer runs through a daylight saving time (DST) change.

🎯Introduction of REO Resource Prioritization in Manage Scheduling Profile app

You can use this app to make different settings for the Dispatching and Monitoring app and to configure the resource prioritization for scheduling.

The setting for Resource Prioritization allows you to decide which resources need to be given priority during scheduling based on the resource type.

Examples of further settings you can make are:

  • Configuring the display of times and dates and the behavior of interactive elements in the Gantt chart
  • Specifying which type of data is displayed for dispatching and monitoring and when work lists are loaded
  • Determining how scheduling is performed and whether work centers are updated
  • Defining priorities for displaying different types of notifications
