stock of variant material in variant configuration

[Former Member]

hi gurus,

im doing variant congiguration in that i have some doubts,

for example if i'm doing varian config for a car

here variants are engine,gearbox,colour etc.

now my doubt how can we maintain stock for these variants,and also when i make a sale order if i use variant config i can not see display of the variant material i can see only the header material.

actually i need to see those variants also in the sale order like BOM.

please give me some suggestions how can i go about?and if there is any configurationis required for this to happen pls do explain me,

with regards

Hi,

No.. there is no need to maintain the stock for the variants. The variant classes will be maintianed in your material master 'classification tab'.

Once you setup the variant material, raise a sales order for the material and raise the stock with reference to the order.

As it is make to order, you are not keeping the material in stock. You are manufacturing the material upon customers request.

Hope you are clear.
