Without a centralized system, documents are scattered, hard to update, and prone to compliance risks. SAP PLM RD + DMS ensures every document is stored, version-controlled, approved, and linked directly to the specification and recipe object.
WWI (Windows Wordprocessor Integration) is SAP’s reporting tool that allows businesses to generate dynamic, template-driven documents directly from PLM data. It integrates seamlessly with Recipe Development, enabling data-driven report generation without manual formatting.
SAP PLM Label Management is a specialized functionality within SAP Recipe Development that enables organizations to create, manage, and automate product labels based on real-time product data. It ensures that every label — whether for a soft drink bottle, a pharmaceutical package, or a chemical container — is aligned.
Data is the new formula for innovation. At Vibuh Solutions, we enable organizations to transform their SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) environments through HANA Live Virtual Data Models (VDMs) — giving R&D and quality teams the ability to unlock deeper insights, faster decisions, and total transparency across the recipe lifecycle.
SAP Product Lifecycle Management (SAP PLM) is an integrated solution that helps organizations manage every stage of a product’s life — from idea, design, and development to production and phase-out. It connects R&D, quality, manufacturing, and compliance teams in a single digital platform.
SAP PLM is used to plan, design, develop, and manage products efficiently while ensuring regulatory compliance, quality, and traceability.
In process industries, it helps R&D teams manage recipes, formulations, labeling, and specifications in one central system.
The SAP PLM module is a part of the SAP ERP suite. It includes key components like:
These submodules work together to streamline product innovation and compliance.
SAP PLM Consultants are professionals who implements and configures SAP PLM solutions to match business processes.
They bridge R&D, IT, and manufacturing functions — enabling organizations to digitize recipe management, specification control, labeling, and document workflows.
A recipe in SAP is a structured set of instructions that defines how raw materials (from the Bill of Materials) are processed through operations and resources to produce a finished product.
A recipe type in SAP PLM defines the category of recipe (e.g., general recipe, master recipe, or site recipe). It determines the structure, purpose, and usage of the recipe in product and process development.
Recipe management in SAP PLM involves creating, storing, modifying, and controlling recipes throughout their lifecycle to ensure compliance, efficiency, and repeatability in manufacturing.
Recipe development in SAP refers to designing, simulating, testing, and finalizing product recipes during R&D before transferring them into production for manufacturing.
A Specification in SAP PLM represents a detailed data record for a material or substance — such as a raw material, packaging, intermediate, or finished product.
It contains key information like composition, properties, safety data, and regulatory parameters used in recipes and labeling.
A Document in SAP PLM is any digital file (like PDFs, reports, or certificates) managed through the Document Management System (DMS).
It ensures secure storage, version control, and easy retrieval of all recipe- and specification-related files — supporting collaboration and audit readiness.
The typical 7 stages are:
The PLM process in SAP integrates product lifecycle management activities—idea, design, development, production, and maintenance—into a unified system.
SAP PLM includes workflow capabilities that help manage approvals, change requests, compliance, and collaboration across departments.
BOM (Bill of Materials): Lists materials/components required to make a product.
Recipe: Defines how those materials are combined, processed, and transformed into the final product.
