VC - Report for charateristics with their corresponding BOM components?

[Former Member]

In our company, we define our finished products as configuration material.That means we have

used the variant configuration(VC) in SAP.

We have created super BOM for our finished products. And when our sellers create sales order

in SAP ,they will choose the configuration,and after they choose that,the BOM for production

will be formed.

For example,just like computer as finished products ,customer may choose different

configurations. For example ,hard disk ,customer may choose 120G or 200G.

In SAP ,to realise that ,we will create one charateristic as HARD DISK, and it has two

characteristic values:120G and 200G.

And in our super BOM for computer ,we will write object dependency(OD) for two components:

one is 120G hard disk material,we may write :TZ_HARD_DISK = '120G' ; the other is 200G hard disk material ,we may write: TZ_HARD_DISK = '200G". That means when customer create a order and choose 120G hard disk ,the 120G hard disk material will be a component in the BOM,and the 200G hard disk wiil not be a component in the BOM.

My question is that there is correspondence relationship between charateristic and BOM component(object dependency as link), can we get a report or a list to show all the charateristic with their corresponding BOM components?

By use CT11(find characteristics in object dependency) and CU04 (find object dependency with BOM component),we could find BOM component once a time.

So there is a report to show all the charateristic with their corresponding BOM components?

By ABAP development? Or there is standard report? Or ther is third party tools?

Thanks for any reply!

hi,

You have to create custom report and there is no standard SAP report available for this purpose.

Are there any other experts who are reach in the Variant Configuration of SAP know?

If there is a report to show all the charateristic of Variant Configuration with their corresponding BOM components?

We are looking for the standard report.

By use CT11(find characteristics in object dependency) and CU04 (find object dependency with BOM component),we could find BOM component once a time.

Are there another TCODE or programme like CT11 but can find many characteristics in object dependency) once a time?By now ,use CT11, we only can find one characteristics in object dependency once a time?

Only by ABAP development? Or there is standard report? Or ther is third party tools?

hi,

You can use this function module CS_BOM_EXPLOSION in order to find BOM of an item

Hi,

I dont know if you still need an answer for this question..

But we can use SE16N table CUXREF for finding characteristics within dependencies as follows.

First enter the list of dependencies in SE16N table CUKB and please take the Int No.

Second enter the Int No in SE16N table CUXREFto find the characteristics within dependencies.

I hope this was helpful

Thanks!
