Dear Gurus,
can anyone tell me the step by step variant configuration.
Thanks
Regards
hi,
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 configuration. 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.
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 Zbike class ( 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 Zbike class.
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.

Dear Raj,
Variant Configuration: 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.
The procedure is as follows:
Define The Characteristics
Transaction Code: CT04
Example the Product is pump
Type: Monoblock Pump
Centrifugal pump
Capacity: 5Hp, 10Hp, 15Hp
Characteristics: Z_TYPE
Continue
Dialog BOX: Do you want to Create?
Yes
Description: Pump Type
Data Type: Characteristic
Number of characters= 10
Select value button
Characteristic value Description
TYPE1 Monoblock
TYPE2 Centrifugal
Save the characteristics
2.Create a Class
Transaction Code: CL01
Class= Z_PUMP
Class Type= 300 (variant) / 023 for batch determination
300=variant class
Continue
Description= Class for Configuration of Pump
Select Char (Characteristic) Button
Characteristic
Z_TYPE
Save
3) Create again one more characteristic as Price = ZP_PRICE
Transaction Code: CT04
Characteristic=ZP_PRICE
Continue
Yes to dialog Box
Description: Price Characteristic
Select Additional data
Table name: SDCOM
Field name: VKOND
Save the Characteristic
4) Assign the dependencies i.e. the characteristic to the Price characteristic
Use CT04 and call the Z_TYPE
Select Values
Select TYPE1
Select Extra
Select Object Dependencies
Select Editor
Select radio Button: Procedure
Continue
Against 10 use the following syntax to connect the characteristic with Price
$Self.ZP_PRICE=TYPE1
Save
Repeat the Exercise for TYPE2
Save and back
5) Prepare the material master
Material Type: KMAT (Configurable material)
Most of the fields are similar to material TYPE=FERT except following
a) Maintain avc=02 (individual requirements)
b) Maintain MRP1, MRP2, MRP3 under MRP3, strategy group=25
c) Maintain also account assignment group
Save
6) Prepare the Configurable profile for material and assign the Class to Profile
Transaction Code: CU41
Select: material
P=Profile number=01
Name=Pump
Class= 300
Select 01 and select Class assignments
Enter class=Z_PUMP
Now list of the characteristic are shown
Select the characteristic Pump TYPE
Select the values TYPE1 and TYPE2
Save the Profile
7) Create conditions
Default Condition= PUMP TYPE=MONOBLOCK
ZKP0= 8000
VA00 for TYPE2= Centrifugal= 1000
Use VK11 to maintain Conditions
When creating for VA00
Variant=TYPE2
Rate=1000
Save
😎 Create an Order and check profile and also the Pricing
In the order when we enter material system will propose a configurable profile and selection buttons
Select the choice and select Pricing and the system will do pricing according to the variant
Create one more characteristic = capacity of Pump
Characteristic= ZP_CAP
Description=capacity
Data Type=Character
No of char=10
Select value
Characteristic value Description
CAP1 5HP
CAP2 10HP
Save
2. Assign the new characteristic = class Z_PUMP
CL02
Class=Z_PUMP
Continue
Select CHAR button
Assign the newly created characteristic ZP_CAP
3. Assign the Price characteristic to Capacity characteristics
CT04=ZP_CAP
Select values
Select CAP1 and assign ZP_PRICE
Repeat like it was done in earlier steps
4. Already class is been activated with new characteristic. Activate this in the Profile (select variants)
CU42
Material =PUMP1
Select profile=01
Select class assignments
Select second characteristic and select values CAP1 and CAP2 and save the Profile
5. Maintain condition records
VK11
MONOBLOCK+5HP=8000
10HP=3000
Variant = CAP2= rate is 3000
Now create an Order, select variants, stock quantity, delivery and Billing
Save the Order---Based on the order the items are produced
Stocking through MB1c
Movement = 521 E
Plant = K001
SLOC=KS01
Enter sales order Number, item number in the sales order and Recipient of Goods
Save
(Note: in material master maintain valuation class= 7900)
Create Delivery and Billing
Other than that you can follow the following link also:

Do let me know in case of any queries.
Hope this helps you.
Do award points if you found them useful.

Variant configuration:
Variant configuration is for manufacturing complex products. The manufacturer always has 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 configuration 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.
Procedure -
1. Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (0002)
2. Create Characteristics in CT04
(a) Zcar_Colour, where in values mention the Color of the Bike like Red, Blue, and Green
(b) Zcar_Eng, Where in values mention the Engine of the Bike like 1000CC, 1250CC and 1500CC.
(c) 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)
3. Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZCarclass (Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
4. Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment i.e. assign ZCarclass.
5. Now go back to CT04 - enter ZCar -go to values- select Red- go to extras Other dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red' and save
6. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship (by default it will come just save)
7. Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of
10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save.
10 write - $self.ZPrice='Green' and save.
10 write - $self.ZPrice='100CC' and Save
10 write - $self.ZPrice='125CC' and Save
10 write - $self.ZPrice='150CC' and Save
Note :- ( for each valve do Step 6 or Step 9)
9. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship (by default it will come just save).
10. Now go to VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition) (For Standerd RVA001 Pricing Procedure) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.
