Hi Shiv patil
Below is the Configurable Material process.
Variant Configuration
Define The Characteristics
Transaction Code: CT04
Example the Product is pump
Type: Monoblock Pump
          Centrifugal pump
Capacity: 5Hp, 10Hp, 15Hp
Characteristics: Z_TYPE
Continue
Dialog BOX: Do you want to Create?
Yes
Description: Pump Type
Data Type: Characteristic
Number of characters= 10
Select value button
Characteristic value          Description
TYPE1                         Monoblock
TYPE2                         Centrifugal
Save the characteristics
2.Create a Class
Transaction Code: CL01
Class= Z_PUMP
Class Type= 300 (variant) / 023 for batch determination
300=variant class
Continue
Description= Class for Configuration of Pump
Select Char (Characteristic) Button
Characteristic
Z_TYPE
Save
3) Create again one more characteristic as Price = ZP_PRICE
Transaction Code: CT04
Characteristic=ZP_PRICE
Continue
Yes to dialog Box
Description: Price Characteristic
Select Additional data
Table name: SDCOM
Field name: VKOND
Save the Characteristic
4) Assign the dependencies i.e. the characteristic to the Price characteristic
Use CT04 and call the Z_TYPE
Select Values
Select TYPE1
Select Extra
Select Object Dependencies
Select Editor
Select radio Button: Procedure
Continue
Against 10 use the following syntax to connect the characteristic with Price
$Self.ZP_PRICE=’TYPE1’
Save
Repeat the Exercise for TYPE2
Save and back
5) Prepare the material master
Material Type: KMAT (Configurable material)
Most of the fields are similar to material TYPE=FERT except following
a)     Maintain avc=02 (individual requirements)
b)     Maintain MRP1, MRP2, MRP3 under MRP3, strategy group=25
c)     Maintain also account assignment   group
Save
6) Prepare the Configurable profile for material and assign the Class to Profile
Transaction Code: CU41
Select: material
P=Profile number=01
Name=Pump
Class= 300
Select 01 and select Class assignments
Enter class=Z_PUMP
Now list of the characteristic are shown
Select the characteristic Pump TYPE
Select the values TYPE1 and TYPE2
Save the Profile
7) Create conditions
Default Condition= PUMP TYPE=MONOBLOCK
ZKP0= 8000
VA00 for TYPE2= Centrifugal= 1000
Use VK11 to maintain Conditions
When creating for VA00
Variant=TYPE2
Rate=1000
Save
8) Create an Order and check profile and also the Pricing
In the order when we enter material system will propose a configurable profile and selection buttons
Select the choice and select Pricing and the system will do pricing according to the variant
Create one more characteristic = capacity of Pump
Characteristic= ZP_CAP
Description=capacity
Data Type=Character
No of char=10
Select value
Characteristic value          Description
CAP1                              5HP
CAP2                              10HP
Save
2. Assign the new characteristic = class Z_PUMP
CL02
Class=Z_PUMP
Continue
Select CHAR button
Assign the newly created characteristic ZP_CAP
3. Assign the Price characteristic to Capacity characteristics
CT04=ZP_CAP
Select values
Select CAP1 and assign ZP_PRICE
Repeat like it was done in earlier steps
4. Already class is been activated with new characteristic. Activate this in the Profile (select variants)
CU42
Material =PUMP1
Select profile=01
Select class assignments
Select second characteristic and select values CAP1 and CAP2 and save the Profile
5. Maintain condition records
VK11
MONOBLOCK+5HP=8000
10HP=3000
Variant = CAP2= rate is 3000
Now create an Order, select variants, stock quantity, delivery and Billing
Save the Order---Based on the order the items are produced
Stocking through MB1c
Movement = 521 E
Plant = K001
SLOC=KS01
Enter sales order Number, item number in the sales order and Recipient of Goods
Save
(Note: in material master maintain valuation class= 7900)
Create Delivery and Billing
