[Former Member]

Hi

PP Expets

1.Can we use varient configuration material for make to stock?

2.How we define BOM and Routings for varient configuration material , plz tell me steps for that.

Thanks in Advance.....

Hi Nitu,

Pls. find here more details for VC as below :

_VARIANT CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE :_

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

2.Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc.

3.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).

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

5.Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikeclass.

6.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.

7.Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save).

8.Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save.

9.Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save).

10.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: Complete Maintenance

Technical name: SAP_LO_VC_MAINTAIN

Tasks

The variant configuration processor sets up the rules for multi-variant products and maintains them in the database. He or she simulates and executes the configuration. This role is required wherever variant configuration is used.

The complete model also contains sales order processing (VA01/VA02), and the connection to SCE/Internet Sales and Mobile Sales.

CAWNT Characteristics description

AUSP Characteristic Values

Class types and objects :

TCLAO Several class types for object

TCLA Class types ( vb. lfa1 => v10 en 010)

Hope this helps.

Hi Netu,

We can maintain Variant configuration in MTS scenario also.

For this purpose Material variant is used. This is nothing but Finished material with the configuration defined. ( Make to Stock means Configuration is already defined for the product)

Creation of Configurable material, Super BOM, Super Routing,

Configuration profile are prerequistes.

For MTS scenario,

1. Create Material variant (Fert/ Halb) in MM01, in MRP3 view give the Configurable Material (KMAT) with which this material is to be linked.

2. Create the link for this material with the super BOM in CS41.

3. Create the link for this material with the routing of KMAT material by Material assignment option in Routing of KMAT material.
