Configurable material tables

Hi,
Could anyone suggests how to get the detailed information (selected characteristics) for a configurable material in a sales order? What are the tables to look for (from VBAP, MARA...)? Any function modules?
Thanks!
Steven

there are the useful tables relating to variant config.
SDCOM, MMCOM <<COMM STRUCTURES VARIANT CONFIG>>
MARA General material data
MARC Plant data for material
CUCO Master data table for configuration profiles
VBAP Item data for sales document
INOB Assignment of an internal number to any object
MAST Link between material and bill of material
KDST Link between sales order item and bill of material
AUSP Values assigned to characteristics
KSSK Assignment table: object to class
CUOB Assignment of object to dependencies
STPO BOM items
CABN Master data for characteristics
KLAH Master data for class header
KSML Assignment of characteristics to classes
CAWN Master data for characteristic values
CUEX Dependency compilation
CUKB Administrative information on dependency maintenance

Configured material BOM table details requried for component list

Hi PLM Experts,
      As per the client requirement, we need to activate one sales condition type based on Super BOM components list. To define a logic for the above requirement, to list out the component we checked in STPO Table and in this table its appearing only the phantham materials not the real BOM of the component is appearing.
    So can you please suggest the table name where i can find the Bill Of Material of my Finished Product (Configured material) in the Table level.
Warm Regards.
Velmurugan P

Thanks Ajit.
But the problem still persist. The tables you have listed will suits for regular BOM compoents list. But we want to know the Table / procedure details in case of Configured material BOM details. Because for configured materials the BOM will be determined during sales order (Planned order) only.
    This BOM of configured material won't get stored in the table you have listed. As per our requirement we are looking for table details where we can list out the components list to perform the additional charges in the sales order based on BOM.
Warm Regards,
VEL

Issue in consumption of forecast for configurable material

Hi,
we have a issue in consumption of forecast by sales order for a configurable material.
Please find the below details for the settings maintained and the steps followed.
Please let me know how we can overcome this issue.
settings in R/3
1. Class and characterisitcs are created in R/3
2. standard material was created and class assigned
3. planning strategy used is 56
4. material, class, characteristics,ATP check, ATP customizing , sales order were integrated to APO
Settings in APO
1. CBF table, CBF profile, Consumption group were created in APO
2. Consumption group is attached to the product master
following steps were followed.
1. Forecast was created in DP for a certain characterstics ansd relaesed to SNP/PPDS
2. forcast is visible in product view
3. sales order was created in R/3
4. slaes order is visible in APO but it is not consuming the foreacast for the same set of characteristics.
Please let me know how we can overcome this..are we missing any customization ...?
Thanks
Ram

Hi Srinivas,
thanks for your response.
The forecast consumption problem was solved after correcting the entries in requirement strategy.
have one more query.
when the sales order for a configurable material is transferred from R/3 to APO, we should be able to see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" in APO product view.(when we click on the green triangle representing the configuration).
However, we could see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" for some of the characterisitcs and not for other characteristics.
we tried comparing the characteristics but could not figure out the reason.
any pointers / clues to come over this issue would be helpful.
thanks
Ram

Problem creating a sales order for configurable material in SAP ECC

I have a Variant Configurable material named X.
The structure of this VC material is
Material X has charatcertics CHARCTERISTIC1 and CHARCTERISTIC2.
CHARCTERISTIC1 has values VALUE1
CHARCTERISTIC2 has values VALUE2
I created a sales order manually from VA01 using configurable material and read the values of all configuration tables to be filled from BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST. With the help of this data i got an idea how to fill the tables of BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. But still i am able to create a sales order but the configuration data that i give is not getting populated in the sales order.
Where am i missing. please some body suggest. I am unable to debug and searched the forums
for this information but dint find solution for my problem. some body please tell me where am i missing?
Any help would be highly appreciated

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.

How to Unassign a Configurable Material to Material in MRP3 View

Hello All,
Is there any way to Unassign a Configurable Material to Material in MRP3 View, the fieldl are greyed out.
We accidentally assigned a Configurable Material to Material in MRP-3 View.
Any Inputs would be of Great help.
regards,
BRN.

Guys,
Want to share what we have done further to resolve the issue,
Though SAP says this cannot be undone and recommends to archive the material and proceed completely new.....sometimes this maynot be realistically practical.....
here is what we did,
If we remove just the CUOBJ and STDPD values in MARC table, there can be inconsistencies existing in the tables and when for any reason if we want to assign the configurable material again in MRP3 view, SAP throws out a dump........
there is FM provided by SAP " CUCB_CHECK_AND_DELETE_CONF " which can used to remove all the corresponding entries in the remaining tables....following data is necessary...
ROOT_INSTANCE = CUOBJ value in MARC table.
OWNER = LeadingZeroesMaterialPlant Ex. 000000000001234560001
Note: The FM doesnot remove entries in MARC tables, hence removing CUOBJ and STDPD values in MARC still has to be done manually...
Regards,
BRN

Routing Operation item field update in configurable material

Hi All
Material is a configurable material ,which is having a selection options in a sales order and based on the selection options there is characteristics BOM quantity gets updated based on the formulae.
If you go to routing and double click on the operation to see the details , you will see the unit of measure conversion with the header and Operation fields. I want BOM quantity should get updated in the operation field (UMREN).
I was using the Reference characteristics with PLPOD table and UMREN field to update the value in the UMREN field. And i created a procedure with a logic and is assigned to configuration profile and the Routing operation.
Process is MTO process, Production order is generated when the sales order is created. i checked in production order after creating a sales order, UMREN field is not updated and dont know what where i am doing mistake and i also checked in the Routing Master Data there also its not updating.
Above mentioned is not an requirement but to calculate the costs accurately, we have to approach this way.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Quantum

hi all,
this problem is solved...its was a simple thing...go to extra in operation tab of routing, then go to references and there is an option of unlock....
and bingo...the problem is solved.

Creation of Sale Order for configurable material with availability check.

Hi,
We have a scenario in which the material is configurable. The configurable material (X) has few variants (Ex: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5). While booking the sale order, we use the material number (X).
Further, the material planning is done for the variants X1, X2, X3, X4, X5. The standard variants are planned for production in advance.
1.     While booking the sale order, we want the availability check of the stock (type matching to happen). What needs to be done in configuration?
2.     While booking the sale order, there is a possibility that the configuration selected will not match with any of the standard variants due to some additional requirements of the optional features, in such cases how to link the standard variants to the sale order & create requirement for additional requirements.

Umesh

Hi Umesh,
           1.Create material master for configurable material and variants in mm01.
           2.Maintain BOM for the configurable material in CS01
           3. Configur the variant configuration steps
              a. Create charecteristics T.code CT04
              b. Create values and assign classes
              c. assign the values to charecteristics
              d . Maitain dependence T.code CU01
              e.create configuration profile t.code CU41
              f.stimulate the configuration profile.
4. Do the availability check configuration through this path
IMG --> Sales and distribution > Basic functions ,> Availabilty check and Transfer of requirements.
5. Maintain the Availbility check field and MRP views in the material masters other wise you sit with PP people and do that
I hope it will help you

Error message while creating configurable material for variant configuration.

Dear All,
I want to create configurable material for the purpose of variant configuration. When trying to create configurable material using mm 01 or mm k1, it is displaying an error message that internal number assignment is not possible for the material type configurable materials as well in using external number also. Can anyone specify the steps to be done in creating the configurable material. Thank you all.
Regards
Akula Sivaji Kumar Madhu Kiran

If you want to set these material type to another group (Which has a internal number and external number range), then you can do it.
In MMNR, Click on the Edit Group.
Then select the material type and click select element.
Then mark a tick option in another group and then press Element/Group.
Then you can see the material type will come under this group.
Now save your entry, and create a material with this material type.

is it possible to maintain raw fabric and Colored fabric with same mat.code?
I have configured the material as well all pricing BOM, Recipe its working properly.
How can I assign the material to Operation? I am getting GRAY field in New Assignment in change recipe mode ..
Is it possible to use Material type other than KMAT? I want to use Finish material type. If yes How?
Right now I can create Process order from the Sales order but I am facing error in confirmation that Sales Order stock does not exist than I have to transfered stock to Sales order and error get solved temporarily but I want to avoid this manual transaction to remove this error.

thanks to all SAP gurus..
THANKS IN ADVANCE .... Definitely I will reward points even if my some questions get solved...
Regards,
Bhavik dangi.

Hi,
You can use variant configuration for selling the colored fabric. Use the basic fabric as raw. and maintain variant configuarations to have many variants.
Please use strategy 25. When you run MRP the planned orders will be generated and will be assigned to the sales orders. You can see it on the account assignment tab.
In material master pleasse maintain Individual collective requirement indicator to 1-individual in the MRP-4 view.
Then the stocks will be reserved to the specific sales orders.
Thanks and regards

Configurable material in scheduling agreement

When I use DS scheduling agreement with LPN as item category with configurable material, I cannot input value for configuration. But if I use normal TAN instead of LPN, I can input value for configuration.
Why?
Does SAP do not allow configurable material in scheduling agreement or quantity contract?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Deat Amy,
Please check the item category settings related to configuration through VOV7 transaction.
Go to VOV7 transaction then select item category LPN then go in to the detain here you check the configuration related settings under Bill Of Material /Configuration tab.
If want you refer the standard Config.at Mat.Levl itemcategory TAC settings, same way you can do settings for your item category then try.
Note:- Not advaisable to change the standard one, so you copy the standard itemcategories do the changes,
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.
