Hi

Basically your requirement is to explode BOM Qty based on Quantity selected in VC Configurator.

  • Create characteristic QUANTITY with the following master data reference:

         In additional data maintain Table STPO field MENGE.

  • Create Characteristic MOUSE as Data Type NUM and Maintain Characterstics value as 1,2,3,4,5...
  • While maintaining BOM in CS01/CS02 Maintain Mouse Dependency using procedure as

          $self.Quantity = 2 if MOUSE = 2,

          $self.Quantity = 3 if MOUSE = 3

  • Now Create Sales order, it should pick Quantity 2 of BOM, if you select Characterstics Qty of Mouse as 2.

Thanks for replying.

but slight change in requirement.

Main item computer  Qty 1

Characteristic: Hard Disk ,

Char. Value: 1. 20 gb

                        2. 30 gb

                        3. 40 gb

                        4. 50 gb

when user selects say 20 GB or 30 gb etc, he must be asked to select qty 1,2 etc (it must be freely definable like 102 etc.)

Pls. suggest how to acghieve this

sapper sap ,

Computer should come up with 1 key bord, 1 mouse , 1 CPU.

if you want any changes to this quantity it can easily done by using referance characterstic refering table STPO and field Menge.

now as per your change requirement , the example you took is for hard disk size, and i dont think HD size is freely definably , please maintain values which are actualy available like 160 , 320 etc.

and if the user want more then one hard disk you can have two characterstic for it.

HD1 & HD2 with possible options 160 , 320 etc.

go through it , i hope it will help you.

Thanks

HI,

Thanks for Replying.

Requiremnt is how to enter Quantity >1

Main item: Computer Qty = 1

Characteristic: Harddisk

Char. Values 1 20 gb

                    2 30 gb

                    3 40 gb

                    4 50 gb 

Char Harddisk is Multiple selection optoin,here user can select both 20 gb & 30 gb hardisk etc

but Requirement is on Quantity

1. how to make Char Value QTY freely definable by user during sales order configuration, where to capture this qty

2. How to make the qty freely defined as BOM qty for that Char. value.

i.e.,  they want to freely enter qty for  harddisk size during configration at order creation stage

20 gb qty 5

30 gb qty 2 etc. like that, this qty chnages for different customer orders.

( I guess with STPO-MENGE we'r fixing the quantity for charact. values - but they want qty to be freely definable during order creation- configuration).

Pls. suggest

Hi,

Thanks for replying. (STPO-MENGE am still thinking cos we've too many characteristics for which qty is freely definable - So looking for other options how to achieve freely definable qty after configuration).

VC & BOM Explosion in sales order everything is fine.

Like you said i've maintained BOM components for main item computer with slection condition dependency in CS01. This is working fine.

in CS01- i've maintained for Computer - Components 10gb 1 qty

                                                                                             20gb 1qty    

                                                                                             30gb 1qty    

                                                                                             40gb 1qty    

in sales order i enter main item Computer  Qty 1 - then it goes to char value assignt screen,

now i select 10 gb & 30gb harddisk.  if i go back to sale order overview & BOM explosion happens, Now if i change the line item say 20  10gb harddisk qty to 5 & line item 30 30gb harddisk to 8.

Then if i go back to char value assign screen & come back Qty will reverts back to 1. ( i guess this is happening due to BOM qty 1)

Am trying to figure out is there any way i can allow users to change qty at sales order overview screen after configuration & BOM  explosion.

Pls. suggest

sapper sap,

well i will not suggest you this work around as it can end up in inconsistance and when ever a user will go to configuration using VA02 , it may end up changing quantitues back to 1.

so i still feel , there shold be 2 characterstic for every value of your GB.

like you can have 1 characterstic for representing HARD disk , CH_ HD , and it will select the user defined type of hard disk , 20 GB , & 30 GB.

and if hard disk have 5 possible values then 5 different characterstic to reserent there quantity.

HD_20GB_QUN

HD_30GB_QUN

HD_60GB_QUN

HD_80GB_QUN

HD_120GB_QUN

whcih will use STPO_MENGE and hold the user specified quantity.

check and revert back.

Also , if replies help you please mark them helpfull.

Thanks
