Hi
Variant Configuration is a tool which helps to simplify th complex manufacturingof final products with more variants and variationof the input material.
The Manufacturer always has to offer new variants of its Products
Example :
Take any Bike lets say in our example i am taking Honda CBZ
we know that Honda has come up with 150 CC bike and 180 CC bike and 300 CC bike. With Different Colors. Here we are Engine CC and Color as variants
As CC of engine grows so as Price of the Bike.
Engine Price
150 CC 8000
180 CC 10000
300 CC 15000
Color Price
Black 10000
Green 20000
Red 25000
Often by modifying the existing Product Variants. We create the New variants as we process the order. So that we can react quickly to the customer Requirements.
Step 1
Characterstics :
In our example we are taking Engine and Colour as Characterstics and 150cc,180cc,300cc, are variants of Engine
Red,Green,Black are variants of Color
when we create sales order for Configurable Material,That Sales Order must describe Precisely how the product being ordered has to look. This Desciption always comes from the characterstics and corresponding Values
We Use Characterstics to define the features of the configurable MAterial so that the customer can choose from the different options of the characterstics (i.e Characterstic Values nothing but Variants )
To creat Characterstics CT04 - Create two charaters as Engine & Color
Action 1 : Specify the characterstic name and select the icon Create
Select the tab Page Basic Data
Action 2 : Specify the Description
The status must be released
Data type : specify the data type as chracter - Format
Number of Character give it as 10 :
In the "Value assignment" Section of Basic data specify as single if it is Single level or Multiple if it Multiple Values. But for our example it is Simple.
Action 3 :
Select the Tab Page Values and Enter the required Value.
In our example it is 150 CC,180 CCand 300CC for engine character.
Red,Green,Black for color Character
Step 2 : Creating Class CL02 Creat one class as BIKE two bind two characters.
iN VARIANT CONFIGURATION a class is used to hold to Charactestics together that describes Material.
BY linking class to the material we allow the material to be configured in the sales Order by using thecharactestics of the Class
In variant configuration we can only use a class if that class has to a class type that supports variant Configuration. In the standard SAP system The class type for Variant configuration is 300
CL01 create
Action : 1
Specify the required class "Bike"
Enter the class type 300
and select the icon create
Action 2
On the basic data view
specify the Description
and status must be released
Action 3
Select the view Chracterstics and Enter the Created characterstics I.e Engine and color
Step 3 :
Creating the material master : MM01
the material type is KMAT (configurable Material)
when you are creating material for Variant configuration select the view Basic Data, classification,slaes oranisation 1 and 2 and Sales Geral/plant and MRP .
Note : While creating material in Basic Data tab at the lower section in CM relevance field Give the Value 1 Relavent for configuration Management
We have to assign the "Class" to the material in the View classification
The Item category Group is Either 0002 or 0004
Enter the reqwuired data and save the material
Step : 4
Configuration Profile :
we maintain the configuration profile for theConfigurable Objects to define the central settings for configurating the objects.
Creating Configuration Profile
CU41- Create
Select the Object Material
Enter the required material(Honda)
Create the profile by specifing the Class Type 300
Select the created profile and the icon "Profile Detail"
We can maintain all the central settings on the view Configuration intial screen and save it
Step : 5 Dependencies
The dependencies descibe the inter dependencies between the chracterstics and the characterstic Values. It also controls which componens are selected from the bills of Material.
Dependency Types:
1. Pre condtion : which we should when our material BOM Material
for our eample we should use Procedures
Cu01 _ Create
Note Here we need to create the dependency and assign it to the required chracterstics value or we can create directly go to the chracterstic value and write the dependency there it self
Step : 6
Creating chractestic Price :
Create one Dummy chacraterstic at CT04
as Zprice
enter characterstic and create on Basic Data TAB
specify deascription and the status must be released
in the Tab of Addition Data specify the Table name SDCOM andthe VKOND
Format data given by ABAP dictionary
