hi Saleel,

The PLM is complete package for the product developement company.SAP PLM is a business suite specially designed for the product developement company. it involves various sub modules and tools.

1 DMS - to manage the files, drawing,documents.

2.PS cproject- project management -to manage the project , program

3.EHS - environment health safety

4.EAM- enterprise asset management

DMS is very small part of PLM but it plays a vital role in PLM

I hope this will help you.

Hi Saleel,

generally there is no difference between PLM and DMS. Because DMS is a part of the SAP PLM module. If you are talking about DMS this means mostly transaction CV01N, CV02N, CV03N and CV04N. These transactions cover the main functionalities of the SAP Document Management System (DMS).

However if your R/3 system includes the PLM module then the DMS functionality is also available in the mentioned transactions.

For further information you can see the SAP Online Documentation under http://help.sap.com or the corresponding SDN WIKI page under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/plm/sapDocumentManagement+%28CA-DMS%29.
