Maintenance of the following QPPD components will be discontinued on 31.12.2025:
Component  | Function  | Alternative  | 
|---|---|---|
BRF+ Version 1 and Version 2  | The two BRF+ versions call BRF+ rules and write the values from the BRF+ back to the QPPD object, taking mapping into account.  | Alternatively, version 3 is available. The import and export parameters of the BRF+ functions must be renamed.  | 
DOG - Data Object Generation  | The DOG creates elements, structures and tables in BRF+ on the basis of specification types and item categories.  | Alternatively, the program /SCT/QP_BRF_BUILD is available.  | 
ELEMENT-Service  | The ELEMENT service provides a framework for recording domain values and element attributes as well as mapping domain values for various target systems.  | The technical object for elements can alternatively be used to implement search helps, plausibility checks of values and text determination. Alternatively, business mapping can be implemented via BRF+.  | 
Functions for creating material masters  | The program searches for and links a QPPD object with a material master or creates a new one, taking mapping into account.  | The application for the material master can link QPPD objects to the material.  | 
Object types ANALYSIS und ANALYSIS_DYN  | The object type provides an entry mask for chemical elements as well as an analysis with aggregated values.  | The values for chemical analysis can be managed in the GRID (object type MAMBA). The analysis of aggregated values is no longer supported.  | 
Object types TECHM, TECHM_DUO, TECHM_DYN, TECHM_LANG, TECHM_LNK, INSPECTION_CHAR, INSPECTION_CHAR_DYN  | The various object types based on TECHM enable the management of values in a GRID.  | The object type MAMBA is available as an alternative. No alternative is available for the TECHM_DUO object type.  | 
Change pointers  | The change pointers are written to change documents and can be used as triggers for customer-specific logic.  | The follow-up processes (FUP) are available as an alternative.  |
