Meanwhile, there is a broad adoption of the solution, mainly in the automotiveandmechanicalengineeringindustry,especiallytherenewableenergy sector,andintheaircraftindustry.Atypicaltraitseemstobetheglobalrollouttoall organizationsofacompany,andduetothelargenumberoforganizationsinvolved, the projects might take some time—currently there are projects running with a plannedtimelineuntil2019. Alsothesolutionitselfhasbecomemorematurewiththelatestreleases—upto now release SAP SCM 7.0 EHP3—and has both extended its functional scope— especiallyintheareasofDRP,deployment,andforecasting—andimproveditsuser experience. For the latter, the planner’s worklist is the most significant improve- ment. The reality check in the implementations also showed that the originally intended “full-blown” system architecture for Service Parts Management containing SAP CRM, SAP SNC, and SAP EWM was seldom used—in most cases,itwasonlySAPSPPandSAPERP,whichcanbeimplementedmuchfaster thanthe“full-blown”systemarchitecture.
