dear john,

Bill of material is nothing but different components that together create a product:

EX:computer( CPU, monitor, keyboard,mouse, plugs, etc...).where when customer place an order he just mention the main product computer but he receive all the sub items in it.

it is used by MM/SD/PP

variant configuration is nothing but, company manufacture a standard product which can be modified(or adding value) according to the customer need.

Ex: honda city

variants (color, engine capacity, seats,wheels, steering,etc....)

it is used by SD/PP

with regards,

R.karthick
