VARIANT CONFIGURATION

[Former Member]

Hi, i have defined the various opeartions for ea characterstic in routing. do i need to enter the cost of each operation in vk11? how the s/o will take care of the routing cost?

Hi,

In Variant Configuration scenario the customer will select BOM/Routing as per his requirements while placing the sales order.

If you have maintained the correct object dependencies and correct activity types,cost center in work center, system will take care of calculation of cost towards production.

You can simulate the (sales order) variant configuration using CU50 tcode and check for any errors.

In VC the same finished product(model) may have different costs/price. Which is based on the selection of BOM/Routing.

Hi, I have created super bom, super routing. pls mention the steps so that the system will select req bom & routing and generate the total cost for sales order?

Hi,

After creating Super BOM and Super Routing, you must create the characteristics in which the values must be defined. You can create "n" number of characteristics.(t -code -CT04)

All the characteristics after creating must be assigned in a class (with class type 300-variants). (tcode CL02)

This class you created must be assigned in the classification view of the material which is a variant material.(Finished Material Type-KMAT).(Tcode MM02/MM01)

In the super BOM / super Routing you must maintain the Object Dependencies.( Relation between BOM /Routing components and characteristic values) To maintain the Object Dependencies you can use preconditions, selection conditions, procedures or constraints (use of these completely depends on the scenario).(Tcode CS02/CA02)

Then maintain the Configuration profile for the KMAT material.(Tcode CU41)

Now the configuration is ready for use. You can create sales orders directly(VA01) or you can simulate in tcode -CU50. While simulating / sales order creation system will ask you to select from the allowed characteristic values, based on your selection the system will choose the required BOM from the Super BOM and required routing from the Super Routing.

Clearly explain the scenario on which you are working so that more clearly I can give you the solution.

Dear Pavan, i have assigned the obj depen. thru procedure in bom items (like $self.hp= '150'). for all 3 bom items 3 obj depen assigned (like 250 hp, 350hp). similarly routing also maintained. when i run cu50 with different confugration, the cost data is same for all? i think it is properly not selecting proper mat & rout? where as in va01, it is exactly giving the price according to the values given in vk11. pls help.

Hi,

Operation(routing cost) cost is used to calculate the production cost.After calculation of the cost of the product, the price will be fixed to the product. This price we maintain in VK11 as base price .and according to the Business if there is any discounts/ rebate price exists, then we manitan the pricing conditions.

While creating the SO,Customer configures the product. according to his selection of variants

price will be calculated and that price will be displayed to him.

Hi,

Costing is done on basisi of activity type attached to workcenter. so if your using selection condition to slect a particular operation it should work fine.
