9. ROADMAP AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – 2016
RELEASE 1.0
2016 Goal: “Implement optimized Material and BOM extension
Process”
Initial “Quick Win” functionality that can be implemented in the
existing environment
 Upgrade Material Master and BOM extension functionality
 Implement LeverX BMAX tool
 Optimizes the extension process within the existing workflow

10. LEVERX BMAX
BMAX = BOM Material Allocation EXtension
A LeverX developed solution. It is a SAP add-on used to enable
rapid extension of BOMs and material masters to production
plants and other organizational areas based on a rules engine

11. LEVERX BMAX
The Rules Navigator allows you to easily navigate, and
manage rules. Navigator includes the capability to edit,
create, copy, or delete existing rules.

12. LEVERX BMAX
The Rules Engine allows you to concisely define extension
rules for each field of the Material Master

13. ROADMAP AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – 2016
RELEASE R1.5 PILOT LOCATIONS
2016 Goal: “Update Engineering Change Management processes, Implement
solution improvements”
 Upgrade Engineering Change Management processes
 Build optimized process foundation
 Define common new material create process built on QN notification functionality
 Eliminate classification screen use as a repository for new create information, and replace
with notification process
 Create “Web-Saleable” class
 Integrate Material Master and BOM extension functionality into SAP
notification process
 Integrate BMAX material extension system tasks into workflow
 Enable Master Data Governance Process Management
 Update security roles
 Lock down data create/change functions
 Implement Enterprise Search
 Build TREX server

14. ROADMAP AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – 2017
RELEASE R1.7 ENTERPRISE
2017 Goal: “Implement Infrastructure build-out needed for PLM-MDM roadmap”
