Functionality to Combine SAP Pricing with Ace® Modeling

For companies with data in SAP, this functionality provides capabilities for product modelers to link their configuration models authored in Configit Ace® with pricing data authored in SAP. Through powerful modeling functionalities such as quality assurance, versioning, and collaboration, the user benefits from better quality data for the configuration solution.

Using a fully declarative modelling style to author product models for configurable products in Ace® is easier and more intuitive than using variant configuration in SAP LO-VC.

Configit Ace® can also be used as the system for maintaining configuration logic. The Ace® configuration logic can be executed together with pricing and BOM-generation from SAP.

With this new feature, you can now maintain pricing definitions and logic in SAP, and easily combine it with modelling data authored in Ace®. This enables you to create accurate configurations of your products, using the benefits of VTTM technology, combined with SAP pricing. This feature adds additional functionality to support the extraction and execution of SAP pricing and configuration data outside SAP.

To learn more about how engineers and product modelers can benefit from this feature, contact Configit, or reach out to your contact in Configit sales.

Import Data from External Databases as Table Rules in Ace®

Maintaining large amounts of product data in external systems, while also wanting to import data from other systems, can become a challenge.

The new table editor provides in-product functionality to import data rules, while at the same timekeeping external data sources external in native environments, so you can keep working with the necessary functionalities for managing your data.

Easily handle tabular data by reusing your data, importing thousands of data rows into Configit Ace®. Customers can include data from an SQL database (e.g. MSSQL Server) for the importing and exporting of data.

A New Configit Ace® Platform API That Is REST-Based API
for Querying and Creating Data in Ace® Model

As the API is built on modern standards, solutions are fast, stable and secure, empowering partners to maintain their integrations themselves without shortening response times to market needs.

Solutions built with this latest API will continue to work when the APIs are upgraded to newer versions. With the new Configit modeling API, you can easily read the features and families in Ace® Model and import data for creating new features and families in Configit Ace®. This API can be used to synchronize features and families between, for example, a PLM system and Configit Ace®.

The API is RESTful with resource-oriented URLs and uses standard HTTP verbs and response codes. Request and response bodies are encoded in JSON, and the Model API uses API keys for authentication.

Configuration for Complex Products in Salesforce CPQ with Configit Ace®

How do you combine the market’s strongest configuration engine with the leading CRM tool from Salesforce to create a strong CPQ experience?

With Configit Ace® as an external configurator, you can go beyond what Salesforce CPQ can do in the native environment.

Salesforce is the market leading CPQ tool, as noted by Gartner in their Magic Quadrant. While Salesforce has a strong CPQ tool, Configit has a strong configuration engine. This new update combines these two leading applications with one plugin within Salesforce.

When you configure complex products in Salesforce based on the correct data from Configit Ace®, you avoid the common risks and errors associated with quoting complex, configurable products.

In addition, users gain insight and transparency into what is configurable, orderable and sellable.
