Webinar Recap: Spare Parts Transfer from SAP PPG to S/4HANA Service

How can you generate large numbers of hierarchies consisting of functional locations and equipment in a semi-automated manner? In the webinar held on November 3, 2026, SAP Consultant Lars Steurer demonstrated how to create technical objects and bills of material based on an existing structure in SAP Product and Process Governance (SAP PPG) and then use them in S/4HANA Service.

In the approximately 30-minute live demo, a technical location hierarchy—including installed equipment—was first derived from the PPG structure. In the next step, Lars Steurer used this to generate an equipment bill of materials with the usage type “S” for service processes. Finally, this bill of materials was used in an S/4HANA service order without the need to re-enter data. This demonstrated the entire workflow, from the product structure to operational use in service.

For service and maintenance, this means significantly less manual work. Information already available in the product structure can be used directly for service purposes. The subsequent Q&A session focused on practical questions from the participants.

The recording is intended for department heads, division managers, and users in service and maintenance who want to make their processes more seamless with SAP PPG and S/4HANA Service. The recording and presentation are available here.
