SAP Variant Configuration integration with .Net

[Former Member]

Hi,

Configuration of our product is done using .Net front End.

Presently we are writing dependencies in SAP VC and also in the front end.

We intend to use SAP's dependencies in front end too so as to avoid duplication and maintenance in two systems.

The solution approaches I am thinking of are:

(A)

1. Extract SAP VC's product information & necessary dependencies using either

(a) Knowledge Base or

(b) Standard BAPIs

2. Interpret this logic in the front end and configure

3. Periodically synchronize SAP VC master data with Front End

(B)

1. Use CU50's functionality in the background during configuring product in the front end. Front end will communicate with SAP with every characteristic value selection during configuration.

Please let me know if there are any other methods available. If yes, kindly brief them.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

Mahesh

Hi,

First approach of extracting the VC data with a Knowledge base would be a better option.

That is approach that we used for handling the VC data in the SAP CRM webUI.
