XFT PPAP Collaboration now available on SAP Store
Optimize your supplier sample inspection approvals efficiently and transparently, fully integrated on SAP BTP
In the traditional PPAP process, documents and inspection records are often exchanged via email, manual uploads, or external (non-SAP) portals. This results in process fragmentation, lack of transparency, and high coordination effort – significantly slowing down your processes and putting consistently high process quality at risk.
XFT PPAP Collaboration on SAP BTP sets a new standard for supplier collaboration within the PPAP process – fully integrated, highly automated, and 100 % within SAP.

Benefits
Reduced Lead Times: Documents are immediately available, inquiries are targeted, and approvals are faster.
Cost Savings: Eliminating manual tasks such as email communication, manual
filing and data transfer significantly reduces administrative effort.
Higher Process Quality: Mandatory fields and structured requirements prevent missing documents, version conflicts, and quality issues during series production (SOP).
Faster time-to-market: Digital processes, clear responsibilities, and transparent workflows significantly shorten the sample inspection process.
How It Works
On the customer side, a sample inspection purchase order is triggered. The supplier is automatically informed about the new collaboration process and receives a link to access the collaboration. In the collaboration app, the supplier gets an overview of all requirements to be submitted. The inspection results are uploaded as documents via drag and drop under the respective requirements and stored in an audit-proof manner.
