Key takeaways

▪ SAP S/4HANA for product compliance can assess by

supplier that a product is compliant down to the
component level, for all relevant regulations.
▪ The bill of material transfer generates the compliance
product structure with supplier, component, and basic
material data.
▪ Supplier collaboration with campaign management
simplifies the process to send notifications to a
supplier or request missing data.
▪ Automated change processing tracks changes to
relevant master data and can trigger compliance
checks or tasks as needed.
▪ Compliance data can integrate with other SAP and
non-SAP systems, such as PLM, CAD, or ERPs to
ensure that a product is compliant during the
development process.
