Steps for SD Variant Configuration

Some light on Variant Configuration in Detail.

The procedure is as follows:

a.. Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)

b.. Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of

the bile like Red, Blue etc

c.. Create another characteristics in CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the

additional data tab and maintain the table SDCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary

it will ask for)

d.. Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300)

in characteristics tab page.

e.. Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the

description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.

f.. Now go back to CT04 - enter Zbike -go to values- select Red- go to extras -

Other Dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red'

and save

g.. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign

relationship ( by default it will come just save)

h.. Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure

enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save

i.. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign

relationship ( by default it will come just save)

j.. Now go to VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition)(For Std RVA001 Pricing Procedure) -

enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.

Variant Configuration (LO-VC)

Purpose

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.

Integration

Variant configuration is integrated in the following applications:

a.. CA Classification

b.. LO Material Master

c.. PP Bill of Material

d.. PP Routings

e.. PP-PI Master Recipes

f.. SD Sales

g.. SD Conditions

h.. MM Purchasing

i.. CO Costing

j.. PP Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

k.. PP Production Orders

You can configure the following objects:

a.. Materials

b.. Standard networks in the Project System.

c.. PM General maintenance task lists

d.. Model service specifications

Features

You do not need to create a separate material for each variant of a product in your

company. You can use one configurable material to cover all variants. You create a

super BOM and a super routing for this material, containing all the components and

operations for producing all variants of the product.

To define the features of a configurable material, you use characteristics. To

enable you to use characteristics to configure a material, you assign the material

to a class of class type 300. Possible characteristics of a car, for example, are

model, country, color, and engine. The customer can choose from among different

options for each characteristic (values).

The only limitations are combinations of features that are not possible for either

technical or marketing reasons. You cannot combine all types of car engine with all

types of transmission, for example, or certain types of upholstery are only

available for more expensive models. In Variant Configuration, you use dependencies

to control this. This prevents combinations of options that are not allowed.

Dependencies also select exactly the right BOM components and operations to produce

a variant.

Each configurable object must have a configuration profile. The configuration

profile for a material controls the configuration process in the sales order.

You can make the price of a variant dependent on the characteristic values assigned

(Pricing). You can use variant conditions to define surcharges and discounts for a

variant.

For variants that are required frequently, you can create material variants, which

can be produced without a sales order and kept in stock. When you receive a sales

order, you can check whether the variant required is in stock, so that you can

deliver immediately.
