Discrete Industry Essentials

Implementing Compliance Processes Shouldn't Slow You Down

Discrete manufacturers in automotive, industrial manufacturing, high-tech, medical devices, and aerospace face an ever-growing list of product compliance requirements - including REACH, RoHS, SCIP, conflict minerals, PFAS, and CA Prop 65. Each regulation adds its own data requirements, timelines, and reporting formats. 

When you implement SAP^® Product Compliance for the first time - or extend an existing setup - the effort can be substantial. Instead of focusing on strategic compliance topics, teams often spend time on system setup and routine data tasks. This typically includes configuring the system, onboarding end users, creating reports, and defining recurring operational tasks. With our Discrete Industry Essentials (DSE) package, we accelerate SAP Product Compliance implementation.

Already implementing SAP Product Compliance?
Discrete Industry Essentials (DSE) is the tookit, not the implementation project. If you're starting from scratch, see Product Compliance Essentials (PCE) for the guided, fixed-price implementation service.

Find What You Need, When You Need It

• Find what you need in seconds. Our enhanced compliance data search goes well beyond the SAP standard. Users can combine a wide range of criteria to find what they need such as material numbers, suppliers, compliance status, check results, declarable substances, exemptions, and more. 
• Save and share searches across the team, personalize columns and filters to match your workflow, and move directly from results into Excel exports, file-based reports, or the assigned material.

Reports That Solve Real Compliance Problems

• A ready-to-use library of reports for everyday compliance operations and implementation projects. From analyzing the compliance status of products and parts, to triggering re-executions of compliance checks en masse, to cleaning up compliance requirement revisions for unassigned supplier parts - DSE gives users practical tools to handle the work that standard SAP doesn't cover out of the box. Each report addresses a recurring need our consultants have seen across years of implementation projects.

Compliance Documents, Built for Your Brand

• Compliance documents are how your customers see your compliance work. With DSE, you can issue Certificates of Compliance and Declarations of Substances that reflect your company's identity. 
• Company logo, name and address, legal disclaimers and much more, are configurable per regulations, in every language you need. The result: professional, audit-ready documents that match your brand without custom form development.

Tailor the Compliance Structure to Your Business

A clean, accurate compliance product structure is the foundation of reliable compliance reporting. DSE gives you a set of tools to shape your compliance product structure to reflect your business, your scope, and your data sources from day one:

• BOMBOS Material Filter - exclude specific material numbers (e.g., packaging or auxiliary materials) from the transfer for downstream treatment.
• Manufacturer Assignment Table - tailor the transfer of manufacturer of a purchased part to your system setup.
• BOMBOS Supplier Filter - exclude specific suppliers from the transfer to keep out-of-scope sources out of your compliance data.
• BOMBOS Future Change - schedule BOM transfers to run on the effective date of a future BOM change, so your compliance structure stays in sync with engineering.
