Hi

Steps for SD Variant Configuration

· Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)

· Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc

· 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)

· Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.

· Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.

· 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

· Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)

· Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save

· Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)

· 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

questions we can expect in that

Variant configuration is used where you have a configurable material like computer (made up of components like processor, monitor, keyboard, mouse etc). These components are called as characteristics in variant config. Again this will be having values like processor can be either P4 or P3, monitor can be 15" or 17" etc.

Based on the values selected the variant pricing will happen using the condition type VA00.

Possible questions you can expect are:

- What is variant configuration?

- What is characteristic?

- What is value?

- What is class?

- What is configuration profile?

- What is dependency and what are the types?

- What is a variant table?

- And the transaction codes for the above.

Hi Ravi,

<b>Variant Confiruration:</b>

Variant configuration is for manufacturing complex products. The manufacturer is always having to offer new variants of its products. Often, new variants are created by modifying existing product designs as you process the order. The important thing is to react quickly to customers' requirements.

The customer determines the features of the product. A customer buying a car, for example, can choose the features of the car and combine these features as required.

The product configurator improves information exchange between sales, engineering, and production. Variant configuration helps the customer or salesperson to put together specifications for the product and ensure that the product can be produced from these specifications. It also ensures that production costs do not overstep the mark.

Variant configuration is integrated in the following applications:

•CA Classification

•LO Material Master

•PP Bill of Material

•PP Routings

•PP–PI Master Recipes

•SD Sales

•SD Conditions

•MM Purchasing

•CO Costing

•PP Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

•PP Production Orders

The procedure is as follows:

Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)

Create Characteristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc

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)

Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.

Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.

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

Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)

Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save

Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)

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.

Hope these will useful to solve your problem.

Reward Pts if it is useful to You.
