SAP APIs
To complete Windchill ESI functions such as Create Part, Change BOM, Windchill ESI needs to invoke multiple SAP APIs in a predetermined sequence. The following table lists these APIs categorized by Windchill ESI functions. Refer to SAP API Structures for details on the API structures.

Control Characteristic Mapping
The following tables lists the mapping for control characteristics:
|
Windchill
|
SAP (QS21) Master Inspection Characteristics (MIC)
|
Details
|
|---|---|---|
|
CC Number
|
MIC Number
|
|
|
CC Name
|
MIC Name
|
Transformed to Name – Plant
Because Name must be unique for each plant.
|
|
CC Description
|
Short text
|
|
|

|
|
|
Model Item Reference
|
Qualitative or Quantitative selection
|
Based on the Model Item Type/subtype and other attributes, Windchill-MPMLink decides if the CC is Qualitative or Quantitative.
|
|
Model Item Reference / Target Value
|
Target Value indicator and Target Value
|
|
|
Model Item Reference / Upper Target Value
|
Upper Specification Limit indicator and Upper Limit
|
|
|
Model Item Reference / Lower Target Value
|
Lower Specification indicator and Lower Limit
|
|
|
Model Item Reference / No Of Decimal places
|
Decimal places
|
Windchill-MPMLink API calculate programmatically based on the certain attributes
|
|
Model Item Reference / Unit of Measurement
|
Msmt Unit
|
The following tables lists the mapping for control characteristics associations with parts:
|
Windchill
|
SAP (QS61 : Material Specification)
|
Details
|
|---|---|---|
|
Part Number
|
Material Number
|
|
|
CC Number
|
MIC Number
|
|
|
Distribution Target/Plant
|
Plant
|
 |
In SAP the association is created as a reference association. This means all modifications are reflected from the actual master data at the MIC.
