hi

Variants means different values exist.

say example : if you want to search a sales order or a table , you can have a different values for the search.

you can search by dates , sales area, order type etc. so we can create three variants and save.

when you want the search in respect to date , you can use the date variants.

Thanks

Hello,

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.

Integration

Variant configuration is integrated in the following applications:

CA Classification

LO Material Master

PP Bill of Material

PP Routings

PPu2013PI Master Recipes

SD Sales

SD Conditions

MM Purchasing

CO Costing

PP Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

PP Production Orders

You can use the variants also for pricing to deterimine diferent prices for diferent variants.

I hope that the information are helpful.

Regards

Claudia
