Helllo Guru's,

Willl anyone give a clear example for variant configuration dependencies and how the dependency code works, it is hard time for me to understand by looking at SAP Library.

Full points to the answer

Hello PV,

Try the following simple dependencies.

Once you have setup the classification, class type 300 and created a configurable material in MM.

Assign the Material to the Configuration profile in transaction CU41.

Then create a BOM, with 2 variable parts.

So lets say you have two characteristic values possible in class type 300.

Characterisic_1 = 'A' or Part 1 in the BOM or Characteristic 1 = 'B' or Part 2 in the BOM. You must pre-define these before proceeding in transaction CT04 and assign to class type 300 - Class is created in transaction CL02.

To write a 'selection condition' dependency, please create it with the 'selection condition' following syntax using transaction CU01 - you can also create these dependencies locally in the BOM.

Characterisic_1 = 'A'. - Assign this syntax to Part 1

Characterisic_1 = 'B. - Assign this syntax to Part 2.

Try to configure the material using transaction CU50.

Hope this information helps?

Best Regards,

Hi,

In Variant Configuration

Dependencies let you do the following:

Describe the interdependencies between characteristics

and characteristic values

Control which components are selected from a bill of

material (BOM) and which operations are selected from a

task list

Change the values of fields in BOM items and operations

during configuration

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

raja
