In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of transferring BOMs from Teamcenter to Business Central, ensuring smooth integration without data errors.

Step 1: Install TC2ERP

Before you begin the data transfer, you need to install TC2ERP.

• Download and install TC2ERP provided by PLM CAD UTILITIES AS.

Step 2: Configure Integration Settings

To enable communication between Teamcenter and Business Central:

• Configure the integration settings for Business Central using OData web services.
• Make sure your Business Central instance is correctly connected to TC2ERP.

Step 3: Verify the Item in Business Central

Before transferring data:

• Check if the product item already exists in Business Central.
• If the item is not available, it means you’ll need to transfer it from Teamcenter.

Step 4: Send Data to Business Central

Now, you’re ready to transfer your Bill of Materials:

• In Teamcenter, right-click on the product item.
• Choose “Send to ERP” to transfer a single item or “Send to ERP All Levels” to transfer the entire BOM hierarchy.

Step 5: Monitor the Transfer Status

During the process, a dialog will show the transfer status:

• Created → Item has been newly transferred to Business Central.
• Updated → Item already exists and has been updated.
• Failed → Error occurred during the transfer (details will be shown).

Step 6: Verify the BOM in Business Central

Once the transfer is complete:

• Open Business Central and check if the BOM is available.
• You’ll now see the Bill of Materials successfully transferred, ready to be used in your ERP system./li>
