Variant Configuration component availability

0 Kudos

Dear Friends,

I ve been confused, i' ve created variant profile for material? set SD as process, and ticked component availability.Of course material i create as bom for sd. But when i do sd order in va01 on config material screen i do not see any avability button, after i eneter values for char-s system checks whole material avaibility(not componenets) and then i just go to order screen! Where i can see avaibility of components?? i have checked the box in profile....and i do not see any button! In modelling i see it - but after push i get a message "Until now, no BOM explosion has been carried out or no BOM has been created for this material yet.!"

....please help!

Hello Leon,

Please check if you have the application set correctly in the configuration profile. It is on the config parameters. Also please make sure all the components are relevent to sales in the bom (CS03).

Just to be clear, the variant profile you mentioned is configuration profile not the material variant ? OR are you using material variant and expect it to be exploded ?

Regards

Amber

Hi Leon,

Thanks for the clarrification I now get what you are looking for. The availability check in variant configuration had to be deactivated as in some scenarios the execution of the availability check and the saving of the sales order led to an automatic and unwanted creation of planned orders. This effect could lead to a double production. According to our colleagues from availability check it is not possible to prevent this unwanted creation of planned orders because of the actual coding structure and the big internal cross-linking.

Therefore, SAP decided to deactivate it and does not support availability check from variant configuration within sales orders. Availability check in variant configuration is only allowed in simulation, which is also  described in F1-help for field RCUCO-MATRS.

Regards

Amber
