Can SAP PDMI alone move EBOM from Teamcenter to SAP

Can SAP PDMI alone move the EBOM from Teamcenter to SAP or do we need T4EA also.

In chatGpt got this. But sometimes its not 100% correct. So would like to confirm the same.

You can use PDMI alone if:

• You only need basic product data synchronization (materials, BOMs, classification).
• You use SAP S/4HANA with Engineering Control Center (ECTR) for CAD data management.
• Your integration is one-directional (Teamcenter → SAP) with minimal transformations.
• Your business does not require complex workflow automation.

Please confirm.

Hi Raghavan, unfortunately, there is nothing to confirm. ChatGPT did a lousy job! Here are my comments to the statements/questions below:

• First of all, the strategic and current SAP Solution to integrate Teamcenter with SAP is called PLMSI and not PDMI anymore! And SAP PLMSI always need an Interface component for the specific 3rd party PLM solution. 
• This means: NO, you cannot synchronize anything without T4ST. T4ST is the Teamcenter component you need in combination with SAP PLMSI.
• T4ST is the specific version of T4EA to run together with PLMSI
• SAP ECTR has really nothing to do with Teamcenter Integration. ECTR is the SAP PLM component to integrate Authoring tools (like NX or Catia) directly.

Hope this helps

So then do we need SAP PLM also to be used in this integration?
