ERP & PLM Export

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) systems contain the structured product data that compliance frameworks need. ERP systems manage SKUs, bills of materials, supplier master data, production records, and inventory levels. PLM systems manage product specifications, design data, engineering changes, material compositions, and quality records. Together, they represent a comprehensive digital record of what products are made from, who makes them, and how they are produced — exactly the data that compliance frameworks require for substance declarations, supply chain due diligence, and product documentation.

Compliance frameworks require accurate, current product data — SKU hierarchies, material compositions, supplier assignments, production volumes, and quality records. This data already exists in ERP and PLM systems but is often re-entered manually for compliance purposes, introducing errors and duplication. Direct integration eliminates this gap: the same BOM that drives manufacturing also feeds REACH substance declarations, the same supplier master data supports CS3D due diligence, the same production records populate CSRD ESG reports. Integration also ensures compliance data stays current — when engineering changes a material in the PLM, the corresponding compliance documents update automatically.

Bill of materials exports provide component-level data — part numbers, quantities, materials, suppliers — that maps directly to substance declarations, Digital Product Passports, and product safety documentation. Supplier master data includes supplier names, addresses, certification status, risk ratings, and qualification status — the foundation of supply chain due diligence. Production and inventory data covers production volumes, batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and inventory levels — supporting traceability, lot tracking, and transparency requirements. Quality control records include inspection results, non-conformance reports, and corrective actions — internal quality assurance evidence that supports compliance claims in regulated industries.

Data is exported from ERP/PLM systems as CSV, XML, or via direct API connection. Sustalium maps source fields to compliance records — a PLM material composition field maps to REACH substance declaration fields, an ERP supplier master record maps to supply chain due diligence frameworks. Scheduled syncs keep compliance records current: when a BOM changes, when a supplier is qualified, when a production batch is completed. Sustalium supports integration with major ERP platforms including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and Infor, as well as PLM systems including Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, and Dassault ENOVIA.

All product-level compliance frameworks benefit from ERP/PLM data. REACH, RoHS, and substance compliance frameworks need BOM-level material composition data. Digital Product Passports require the product lifecycle data that PLM systems manage. CSRD and ESG reporting require production volumes, energy usage, and supply chain data from ERP systems. Market access certifications (CE, UKCA, KC, CCC) reference product specifications from PLM systems. Supply chain due diligence (CS3D, German Supply Chain Act) uses supplier master data from ERP. Frameworks requiring batch-level traceability (food safety, medical devices, automotive) depend on production and quality records from integrated ERP/PLM systems.
