Product Compliance for Industrial Manufacturing with SAP®
Substance regulations reach deep into every bill of material. opesus turns your SAP system into your single source of truth for product compliance, so you always know where your products stand, keep them on the market, and stay ahead of new regulations without the manual work.

Compliance Requirements Grow Faster Than Compliance Teams
Industrial manufacturers face a widening gap between what regulations demand and what manual processes can deliver.
Compliance across a long service life
Your machines run for decades. Substance lists keep changing, yet your data must stay valid for spare parts, retrofits, and service long after the machine leaves the factory.
Deep BOMs, hundreds of suppliers
A single machine combines thousands of parts from hundreds of suppliers: mechanical, electrical, and electronic. Every variant you build multiplies the compliance data you have to gather.
Substance regulations keep growing
The list of regulated substances gets longer every year. Each change means screening your whole product portfolio again, confirming with suppliers, and acting on the obligations.
One machine, many markets
You export worldwide, so EU REACH, EU RoHS, US TSCA and California Prop 65, and further regional rules all apply to the very same machine.
The Regulations on Your Desk, and How opesus Helps

How it affects you
Taken one by one, most of these rules are not new. Taken together, they turn product compliance into a moving target. Every new machine, every configuration, and every added market multiplies the parts to check, the declarations to collect, and the notifications to file. When that work is manual, specialists spend their days chasing supplier data instead of assessing risk, shipments wait on missing declarations, and a single overlooked SVHC can hold up a delivery or put your market access at risk. The regulations do not stand still either, so the backlog never really clears.
What you can do about it
The way out is not more headcount. It is a compliance process that runs where your product data already lives.
In SAP Product Compliance, your materials, BOMs, and supplier data sit in one auditable source of truth, instead of scattered across spreadsheets that are hard to audit and easy to lose. Compliance stops being a project you repeat for every new product or new regulated substance and becomes a continuous process that keeps pace with your portfolio and every new regulation.
One Portfolio for the Whole Compliance Process, Built for SAP
opesus solutions extend SAP Product and REACH Compliance, SAP S/4HANA for product compliance as well as SAP Responsible Design and Production, and are built on SAP ABAP and SAP Business Technology Platform.
Your compliance processes use the same materials, BOMs, and supplier records as your logistics, and results are audit ready inside SAP. For industrial manufacturers on the way to S/4HANA, opesus supports both worlds.

opesus shortens and de-risks it: instead of designing from scratch, you start from a preconfigured, fixed-fee package built on years of Industrial Manufacturing projects, so the scope is clear and the path is proven from day one.
