Hi,

Variant configuration is for manufacturing complex products. The manufacturer is always having to offer new variants of its products. Often, new variants are created by modifying existing product designs as you process the order. The important thing is to react quickly to customers' requirements.

The customer determines the features of the product. A customer buying a car, for example, can choose the features of the car and combine these features as required.

The product configurator improves information exchange between sales, engineering, and production. Variant configuration helps the customer or salesperson to put together specifications for the product and ensure that the product can be produced from these specifications. It also ensures that production costs do not overstep the mark.

I guess its not job work but kind of job cards, anyways its all related about getting the things done, which were not done earlier. Like as an example a bike might require repair and as it goes additional spares would be required. Instead of billing one by one, all can be done at once at the end.

Hope it helps. Pl reward if useful.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Batch Jobs: The data in the legacy system needs to be uploaded into sap to have all the data at one place.There are various ways in which a the data can be uploaded into the sap system. One which is used normally by the functional guys is LSMW and ECatt. They help fast data uploads. LSMW is mainly used for master data upload. The master data is uploaded directly into the production server. Only pieces of such master data would be there in test client for testing purpose. The configurations and developments are done in the development server and tested in quality and finally have them moved to production. Apart from LSMW, Bapi's and BDC's ( Session and Call transaction method ) are used to upload data into SAP. While uploading data the previous legacy data is converted into a flat file ( generally an excel or notepad file) which is read by sap and put into sap. The flat file is cleansed and purged to remove redundant data, and ensure data consistency.
