Hi,

Pls. find details about VC :

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

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.

Hi Jagan,

1st question u have to check is " Can the customer Configure the product that he wants to buy at the time of Sales order creation in SAP ( Customer is giving his PO)?

If yes, u can go for Variant Config.

2nd step is What the features of product can customer configure ? ( These are Characteristics , T.code CT04)

3rd, For every characteristic, what are the probable vaues?

(Characteristic values in SAP)

4th, Create class (CL02) by imparting all the characterisitcs of Cable.

5th Make KMAT type material for Cable. And assign Class to this material.

6th, create Super BOM ( with all the probable components)

7th create Confug profile (CU41)

8th, Create dependencies (CU01) nothing but conditions.

9th Assign the dependencies in super BOM.

10th U can check ur configuration by simulation in CU50.

Kiran.
