Material Variant pricing

Hello All,
I have created a material variant from a configurable material. I would like to know if in the sales order I can pull up the variant pricing condition attached to the configurable material, or do I have to maintain separate conditions in PR00. thanks
Atul

Dear Atul,
As per your Q i understand that you want a pricing to be pulled in sales order.
The Pricing for the material will same as we do. i.e we need to maintain the record in PR00.
But for Variant the pricing needs to be Maintaind in condition type VA00.
All the variant needs to be maintained in VA00 only as this condition type get activated only when you are working with Variant configuration.

Variant pricing in Sales order and Purchase Order for same Config material.

Hi,
I am stuck to a point wherein the varaint pricing is working either in Saler Order or in Purchase Order.
The issue is that the Variant Condition Characteristics 'VARCONDMM' has MMCOM and VKOND in additional tab and in the multiple selection active (arrow) I have maintained SDCOM and VKOND.
SO the variant pricing is active at the time of PO creation when 'VARCONDMM' is used and not at the time of SO creation.
So I created Variant Condition Characteristics 'VARCONDSD' has SDCOM and VKOND in additional tab and in the multiple selection active (arrow) I have maintained MMCOM and VKOND. and changed the dependencies accordingly for other characteristics.
Then the variant pricing is active at the time of SO creation when 'VARCONDSD' is used and not at the time of PO creation.
Any positive/quick inputs are highly appreciated.

Hi,
did you check the code in dependency editor of the dependencies..? do they match between your previous system and new one?

GATP check on a Material Variant of a configurable material

Hi Experts,
In ECC side material variant is created . with reference to a configurable material of type KMAT.
The same configurable material is also used a pricing reference material for the material variant.
The configurable material is not relevant for production has no MRP tabs created. It is also not relevant for ATP check.
Material variant is of MTS strategy and relevant for ATP check.
Configurable material is not CIF'ed to APO. ECC ATP check was working fine. While doing GATP check , it is showing following error and not doing ATP check.
Product for external product number XXXXXXX and
BSG BSG1 does not exist .
XXXXXX---> is the configurable material.
Do I need to CIF across classes , characteristics and configurable material to APO even if I am doing ATP check on the material variant.

Hi,
No need to CIF across Class and Characteristics.
CIF across the Material ( Guess this material is just one Material). Activate the ATP Model for that material.
You need to maintain "CDP" in the customizing instead of Variant configuration in APO.
This should work.
Regards,

Reassigning of Material Variant to KMAT in MM02

Can anyone let me know the possibility of Reassigning the Material Variant to KMAT and configuring the variant in MM02. For new assignment i do not have any problems, working fine. But when I need to reassign the MV to KMAT and configuring the variant and finally saving the MV, I am getting Runtime error.
Urgent Pls.
Raj

Hi Rajendra
have you maintained all the master data properly
1. classification for material variants (CL02)
2. Characteristics definition ( CT04)
3. configuration profile(CU41)
4. Pricing conditions (VK11) with Condition type VA00 Variant Price
5. object dependencies for each variant characteristics
ensure the above and let me know still youface any issue

Variant Pricing Steps

Hello,
Variant pricing configuring steps
Can anyone explain the steps in details for configuring this with explanation of class type.
Full points will be awarded for good answers.
Thanks,
Anil Rajpal

Hi
STEP 1: CREATE CHARACTERISTICS: - T.CODE: CT04
Logistics , central functions , classification , characteristics , create,
Go for value tab page
save it .
Go for the change mode and change the status to RELEASED
Create another characteristic Namely called CAR_COLOUR with char value as white and black and follow the same above procedure.
Step 2: Create Pricing Characteristic CT04
SAVE IT
Go for change mode and change the status to RELEASED AND SAVE IT
STEP 3: CREATE CLASS CL02
GO TO CHAR TAB PAGE
Save it
Again go for change mode and change the status to RELEASED
Step 4: Create configurable material with material type kmat: mm01
Go for mrp3 view
Give strategy group =25 ( make to order ) and rest as usual.
Step 5:
Create sub material masters for finished products
Like : white, black, normal, and disc.
Step 6: create BILL OF MATERIAL (BOM)
PRESS ENTER
SELECT THE LINE ITEM AND GO OF EXTRAS, OBJECT DEPENDENCIES , EDITOR,
SELECT SELECTION CONDITION
PUT THE SYNTAX AS CHARACTERISTIC = u2018CHAR VALUEu2019
CHECK THE SYSTAX ERROR (CRTL + F2)
IF NO ERROR THEN SAVE.
STEP 7: CREATE CONFIGURATION PROFILE: CU41
SELECT MATERIAL AND PRESS ENTER,
SELECT THE LINE ITEM AND GOTO PROFILE DETAILS
Select the user interface tab page and click the setting button
Select the appropriate option as u like
No we have to link the characteristics and values
For the above , for the screen cu41, go for extras , object dependencies, editor
SYNTAX : $ SELF.PRICING CHARACTERISTIC = u2018CHAR.VALUEu2019 IF $SELF.CHARACTERISTIC = u2018CHAR.VALUEu2019
Save it
Come back and again save it
Step 8:
Place the variant condition in the pricing procedure
Procedure zvaa01
Create condition record vk11
Save it
Now entire configuration was done for variant configuration
N0w create a sales order
Va01
Item category: TAC
Billing relevance : (A) : delivery related billing.

How to create Material variant

Dear all,
I created configurable material and assigned class and BOM and object dependencies as well as configurable profile its working fine.
I need to create material variant so i assigned configurable material to material variant in MRP 3 view then selected the characterstics as per requirement. BOM also i assigned the configurable material. But at the time planning its not planning as per requirement also i need to consume the stock as per configuration at the time of sales order delivery.
What are all steps to be followed, where i did mistake pls correct me.
Regards,
S.Suresh.

Dear Mohan,
Thanks for your response.
I am very clear in configurable material we can use only sales order. I did in my projects no issues.
But material variant i have doubt, I tried once am not able get what i suppose to get.
I read the sap help.From that what i understood we can create PIR for material variant and can make stock thorugh the order it will consume only whatever we selected from MRP 3 configurable material.
If i make sales order for configurable material if the material variant and configurable material properties are same it will pick the stock. (For that in sales order item category (mat variant action) to be set).
1. Configure the configurable material in the sales order.
       2.      On the value assignment screen, you can already check whether material variants match the material configuration (see Variant Matching on the Value Assignment Screen).
For a material to be replaced by the material variant in the sales order, the configuration of both materials must match exactly.
       3.      When you have configured the material, exit the configuration editor.
       4.      Depending on the settings in Customizing, the material is either replaced directly by the material variant, or a message is displayed indicating that a suitable material variant has been found.
       5.      If the material is replaced, the material variant is entered in the order item.
Individual or collective requirements can be created for the material variant. Pricing is also carried out for the material variant, provided that you have not defined the configurable material as a pricing reference material for the material variant.
So i have doubt on material variant only if wrong pls correct.

S.Suresh.

Pricing Error: Variant Pricing

Hi Experts,
I have created KMAT material BOX. I have set all the pricing procedures and condition records correctly and when testing the material the pricing does come through correctly.
E.g.
Small = £50
Medium=£150
Large= £250
When putting in material Box and selecting small the price will come through correctly as £50 however I still get a
Price error u201CMandatory condition PR00 is missingu201D.
I donu2019t understand why, as the material BOX doesnu2019t not have a standard price and there can only be three options. So I tried creating a condition for PR00 that was 0.00 but that doesnu2019t work either
Please could you help?
M.Patel

Mr. Patel,
There will be a Standard Basic price for all the materials that are created. In your example you can maintain the standard price in PR00 as $50, and maintain the other prices as Variant Price in VA00.
Now the system will take the base price and depending on the other parameters (Size in you case), it can pick the Variant price(you need to maintain variant price as Mediun Size as $100 and Large as $200).

Variant Pricing _ each item price based upon main item.

Hello,
I request your help for inputs on Variant Pricing functionality for given scenario.
Each material will have different price based upon different brand / main item.
For example u2013 Inbuilt-Sat Nav will be priced different in Toyota Prius & Toyota Avensis.
Let say, we have 2 products (Toyota Prius & Toyota Avensis.) each having 10 different options/ items which are charged separately.
Hence would like to know how we can set up the price in variant based upon Main item & sub item.
Toyota Prius / Customer / InBuilt Sat Nav = £1200
Toyota Avensis / Customer / InBuilt Sat Nav = £1500
Your inputs are appreciated.
Thanks & best regards

If you want to maintain seprate prices for each variants go to VK11 use the following condition types -
VA00: this condition type expresses an absolute amount.
u2013 VA01: this condition type expresses the surcharge/discount as a percentage
above are based on sales org, material and variants combination, so as you said you requirement is based on customer will charge different prices, so create new condition table with customer combination and add in to same access sequesnce and condtion type.

Variant pricing - steps requested

Hi,
I created configurable material Envelope, assigned variant class 300 to material.
then created characteristics, ZSIZE and gave values like DIN C4, DIN C5.
then created class ZENVELOPE and assigned characteristics to it.
I want to do variant pricing?.
How to proceed?
Thanks

Here are the detailed steps
- create another characterstics 'ZPRICE' and go directly to Addnl data tab. enter table name as SDCOM and in field name enter VKOND. The system would copy required information from the data dictionary.
- go back to characterstic ZSIZE. Go to value tab and select DIN C4.
from menu bar select GoTo - Extras - Object Dependencies - Editor - select procedures.
In front of 000010 enter $self.ZPRICE='DIN C4'.
similarly repeat step for DIN C5.
- go back to class ZENVELOPE and assign your newly created characterstic ZPRICE
- go to VK11 and enter condition record as VA00 and give values for DIN C4 and DIN C5.
- create your order and a pop box would come up giving option to choose DIN C4 or DIN C5. Basing on option you choose system would automatically determine price for this variant.
- Remember to declare material price for your main item Envelope.
- If you have any problems post your message again.

Is it Possible to delete the configuration from a Material Variant?

How to find the list of material variant based on the characteristics value

Hi
We are creating materials variants for FERT Material Type in material master in MRP-3 view .There we configure the variant by attaching characteristics value
Now we want to have a report , which can give the list of material variants , if char value is given in selection
Can somebody guide me if there is standard report for this OR what is the linkage in Table , so that we can develop a report

I couldn't find a standard report to get the material variants based on characteristic values (the nearest I could find was CT12) but I wrote a report some time back here's the table join logic for the main select statement.

I included bare minimum fields to suite your requirement needs you can add whatever other field you want . Though I tested the table join, I suggest you to test it again before writing your own ABAP program using SE16N.

Material variant replacement in sales order for Configurable Material

HI
I am using variant configuration. In this i have created material A as configurable material and have Preconfigured Material B as its variant by assigning configurable material in MRP 3 view.
Now when i am creating Order for material A i.e. Configurable material and the characteristics values are same as that of Preconfigured material system is not replacing Configurable material with Preconfigured material.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Anand.

Even after maintaining the item category MTAC(Mills Make to order config at mat level), the configurable material is not getting replaced in the sales order (va02). It is just showing material variant exists for the configurable material.
The setting in item category for configuration is.
Config. Strategy 01(Sales Order Strategy (TAC, TAM))
Mat. Variant Action 4 (Replace configurable material (Append and change))
ATP material variant 2 (Do not substitute if not completely available)
Structure scope D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion)
I have maintained the stock for material variant as well to take care of ATP material varinat setting shown above.
Please suggest if missing something.

Material Variant Matching in Sales Order Creation with ref.to Sales Order

Hi All,
We are working in Variant configuration.Our product is defined at PQD(Product, Quality & Dimension).
But, Sales Contracts are created at PQ (Product, Quality/Grade ) level only.
We have defined Variant Characteristics GRADE(ALLOY CODE),DIMENSION AND TWO MATERIALS.
MAT 1 , configurable material.
MAT 2, A Material Variant of MAT 1, Having values of GRADE = A & DIMENSION = 150 in MRP 3 view of the same.
When a Sales Order is created for MAT 1 and its characteristics values are GRADE = A, DIMENSION = 150, Material Variant type matching happens & it replaces the configurable material.
Similarly,Sales Contract is created for Configurable material MAT 1, with only GRADE = A ( As mentioned above, only quality is known at contract creation level).But, when we are trying to creart a Sales Order with reference to this Contract, we are trying to punch characteristic Value for DIMENSION = 150 also. At this stage, Materuial Variant MAT 2 is shown, but it is not replacing MAT 1.
Is this the standard behaviour or there is some solution/enhancement available.
regards,
Stuti

Dear Vijay,
in incompletion procedure we can arrange to check whether any field is empty, here data comparison is not possible.
As far as I know you can not achieve this through standard config.
To achieve your requirement, you will need to take help of an ABAPer, it can be achieved using Userexit.
ABAPer can use include MV45AFZZ
and Userexit ""USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT".
the code written in this userexit will check and compare the quantities before saving the dcument.
Logic if quantity enter is greater than the quantity mentioned in Contract show warning Message.
I hope this solves your Problem.

Paresh

Transfer of characteristics values from material variant to its subordinate

Gurus
Need your Expert opinion on Variant configuration
We are using Multi level Material Variants and our bussiness process demands for configuration of These Material variants in Transaction MD81 and during creation of Sales order .These configuration will not affetc the BOM explosion but will only be passed to the The lower level components (Which are again theMulti level Configuriable Material variants ) as manufacturing instructions .To Enable these Flow of Characterisitcs we have Applied a Note which allows the Multi level Configuration of Material Variants and Pass this Values to lower Level and the characteristics value flow is visible as well for lower level from CU50 ,but when i create the requirement through CIR or sales order and Configure the Material Variants and Generate the Procurement Proposals to fullfill these requirements (MD02) in the form of Planned order we are unable to pass one the Characterisitcs values to planned orders of lower level Components of Material Variants .These characterisitc values are Used as Manufacturing Instructions and should be passed on to the Lower level of Material Variants through the use of dependencies in Configuration profile .but the problem is it works in CU50 and does not flow in planned orders , does any body have a solution for this ?
Thanks In Advance

Milind

Hi Milind,
I check that you implement a Note which allows the Multi level Configuration of Material Variants? is it sap note? mind to share the number.
I ever faced this problems to before but fortunately the case in simpler so i just create another variant and maintain the component for the variant. For example : characteristic color. I create variant with color red black etc. For variant red, maintain component red. For variant black maintain component black, so on. Is it possible for your case?

BAPI FOR CREATION OF MATERIAL VARIANT IN SAP

Dear All,
Can anoy one please provide me name of BAPI to create material variant.This is required when we create material variant for a configurable material, characteristics values are added in MRP 3 View .

i am not clear what youn are looking for.
Say material X is KMAT,
Material Y you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values
Material Z you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values different than Y
Now Y and Z are material variants of X, now tell me exactly what you are looking for?
