Hi,

Based on your Requirements like........N number of subcomponents Etc..

You should go with VC.....I mean while creating sales order you can make a flexibility to select the components.....by configuring VC.

even you can make the setting in MM side like ...wot are the components to raise purchase requisition......in that order.

After entering the sales order....you copy the data(Thr BAPI) in to Excel or any file.......once you copied the data.manually you post to shop floor

Hi,

Dont Maintain Zprice.Mentiaon all the prices in condition records.

You can maintain this in condition records in VK11 using condition type-VA00.

Revert if not resolved.

Hi..

1· Create a Material - KMAT as Material Type with Item Category - 002 by using TCode MM02

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

3· Create another Characteristics using TCode 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 using TCode CL01 - ZBikeclass (Type 300) in characteristics tab page.

5· Then go to Configuration Profile using TCode CU41 select the material and enter the description click on the Class assignment, i.e., assign Zbikclass.

6· Now go back to Characteristic using TCode 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)
