COPA - Variant Configuration

Hi everybody
I am facing one problem, that is i have configure Variant configuration and i created sales order, delivery and billing.After creation of billing system is generating 'A/cing Document', 'Controlling Document', 'Profit center Document'. But it is not generating 'COPA Document'.
Can anybody help me please.
Thanks and Regards
Vardhan

check the controlling area detail settings. it should have the profitablity analysis active to allow posting.
if it is already done, check what type of copa is active. for account based copa.. the condition types should be assigned to copa value fields. check in sales order line item.. account assignment tab.. do you see any profitability segment defaulting..
if you have the costing based copa.. unless the billing is done the system does not post to copa. To make system post to copa during delivery.. you need to do RA and settlement.

  • ALE Variant Configuration

    Hi , I am not having much idea about ALE , I am some problems in it.
    When running the ALE to move the Variant Configurator from Client 130 to other Clients, I am running into the following issues.
    1)it does not copy the dependencies within the Configuration Profile. It copies the dependencies themselves and the profile, but when you go into the profile, there are no dependencies listed. An example is: For SLCase in Client 130, go into the profile and you can see several dependencies there, but when you go into Client 110.
    2)it does not always update the dependency when it already exists.
    3)it does not update the Table structure when the table already exists.
    4)it does not update the data in the table when the table already exists (this oculd be because the structure of the table changed in Client 130, but didn't update the structure in the other clients (as in #3 above).
    5)it does not update the Default checkbox on the characteristic when the characteristic already exits.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Check SAP note 10745. It has details how to transfer classification data from one client o another by ALE. Hope it will help to solve your problem

  • Production Order BOM with Variant Configurable Material

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to process the document items in the Production Order BOM for a variant configurable martial. I am not sure which Function Module will do this purpose. I checked the FM: CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 and does not seem to be working.
    Can you please help me with a suitable Function Module or program that will process the Production Order BOM? Appreciate Your Help.
    Thanks,

    What are you doing with the characteristics right now ?
    If you want operations selected based on characteristic values, you need to have dependencies written just like you do (or in your case, will do) in your BOM components.
    I understand the business-push to not do things 100% at the start and just "oh we'll add that part later" but I would really push back to get that part included initially.

  • Stock Report for Variant configuration

    Hi Experts,
    Request your help to get the following information.
    We have a material which are packed in to multiple packing modes. Inorder to ease the selection of packing mode in sales order, we are thinking of introducing variant configuration. I.e all the packed materials will be created as variants in SAP and the sales order will be created for the configurable material. When the proper characteristic is selected the material will be automatically replaced by the variant.
    But the requirement is to see the stocks of all the varaints along with the configurable materials as the header. For eg. Material A is having variants A1, A2 & A3. The sales quantites are 25, 30 and 35 respectively.
    In any of the standard report, can I see the sales of these along with the total sales of config mtl A as 90
    Please guide.
    Thanks & Regards
    Prathib

    Hi Prathib,
    On my last project, we define material code with the same code at the beginning like you do A1 A2 A3 (for variants) and AC for example for configurable material. Then for stock report you can use MB52, in material field just write A* it will show you stock from material start with code A. But make sure you define material type and material group for selection wisely. It works for me. Now depends on how well you define your structure.

  • 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.

  • Tolerance Limits for Class Character in Variant Configuration

    HI all,
    We are Using Variant Configuration, for this we have linked MIC's to Class character, When The Inspection Lot is created the Lower & Upper Limit in the specification comes as the character Value.it does not takes in to consedration the tolerance key assigned to it. For E.g. Charater Dia has value 20, & in the Tolerance key for 20 +/- 0.10 is maintained, when the Inspection lot is created the Upper & lower Limit comes as 20-20 instead 19.9 - 20.1
    I have gone through SAP Note 210658, the sample code provided in note is for "Material Specification" I have tried the same with minor code correction the specifications in the lot comes as desired i.e. specifications in the lot consider the tolerance key.
    Our Requirment is of task list, in the same not EXIT for task list is also mentioned but no souce code is provided, when we are using the above program (Used for Material Specification) after doing the desired changes, & when we run in de-bugging mode it shows all the calculations are being done, but finally in the lot specification appear as the charater value ( 20-20) & in the inspection lot One first MIC comes it delete's all other MIC's assigned in the Plan.
    Has any body worked on this requirment, please let me know how to do the same, & if any body has used EXIT_SAPLQPAP_001 (Enhancement QPAP0001.)Plese provide me with the soution if any one has worked on it.

  • Regd : Error during saving the  sales order for Variant configuration

    Hi -
    When the item( config material) is saved in the sales order , system scheduled the production order and getting an error as " Posting Rule for Assembly order for item 000010 could not be generated".
    Any solutions regarding the error.

    Hi,
    This is the process of Assembly to order with variant configuration. In material master, you can maintain gen item category 0002 (configurable material) in basic data view, sales 2 view item category grp 0002 and strategy group 82 in MRP 3 view. After creating of material master, BOM & Routing, You can create sales order in VA01 transaction.
    In this VA01, When you create sales order, system will check material availability, capacity checking and system will show variants for each items. And also when you will save the sales order, system will create production order no immdiately.
    So you can maintain the above settings compulsory.
    please let me know any clarification.

  • Why don't  we do the confirmation in variant configuration?

    Hello guys,
       As far as i know that in variant configuration we don't do the confirmation, we directly do the goods receipt.Is it right?If yes than why?
      Following are the steps we  do while doing the variant configuration scenario:
    1)First we create the characteristics and give the values inside it.
    2)Then we create the class of class type 200 and give characteristics defined in it.
    3)Then we create the variant of class type 300 and give all the characteristics inside it.
    4)Now we create the configurable material with Basic data 1,2, MRP 1,2,3,4 , Classification view ,workscheduling view.
      In classification view, we give the variant of class type 300.So it shows all the characteristics and its value over there.There we select all the values.
    5)Now we create the super bom of configurable material and in class tab we give all the classes of class type 200.Here even we can maintain the dependencies if we define all the characteristics value in item tab.
    6)Then we create the super routing and inside it we give all the possible operations inside it.Right now my routing contains operations  which are necessary all the times.
    7)Then we create the configurable profile for configurable material of class type 300.
    8)Now we give the requirement in md81 for configurable material and there we select the characteristics values which we want.
    9)After that we run the mrp for configurable material and it generates procurement proposals(planned order) for it.
    10) Afer this we convert this planned order into production order and release it and save it.
    11) After this we do the goods receipt for the production order in mb31.Because of this it shows the stock of sales order as production order qty.
                This procedure my tutor has taught me.Have i missed any steps or am i wrong somewhere?If that the case than plz guide me.

    if you can generate a production order then you can always confirm it according to SAP PP logic.
    we use variant configuration for the manufacturing of complex products. once the component quantities and
    operation are selected for a particular variant and copied to Production order, the rest of the process is same
    as normal Production Control. Revert back with any queries you have.

  • Creation of sales order with Variant configuration info

    Hi friends,
       I am creating sales order along with Variant configuration data. We have 3 level BOM structure.

    Updating Variant Configuration data for SO item became little tricky for us in an ongoing implementation. After spending some hours investigating the correct combination of data to pass, we were able to post the document correctly. As no detailed documentation is available online for this scenario, I hope this post will help community for similar requirements. J
    For updating Variant configuration (VC) data for Sales order item, we need to populate below tables of standard FM or BAPI (e.g. SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE).
    Normally the standard FM or BAPI does not return any error messages in case configuration data is not updated successfully.
    ·         SALES_SCHEDULES_IN: The required date field should be populated with appropriate value (REQ_DATE).
    ·         SALES_ITEMS_IN: Field PO_ITM_NO should be populated with appropriate value.

  • Error in Variant Configuration CO684

    Hello, friends !
    Back in the forum, now with a problem in Variant Configuration.
    I was able to carry out the whole process up to the creation of the production order. There I have the error message CO 684 "You cannot make an assignment to make to order stock" .
    All the configuration stuff seems to be OK.
    I created a sales order configuring the product.
    The MRP creates a planned order in the Customer Segment of the MD04.
    The components have the special stock E.
    I have tried with stock available in warehouse and also tranferring to E using MB1B movement type 412 E.
    But the error still remains !!
    Any tip or clue ??
    Thanks in advance.

  • Variant configuration-- syntax error in creation of object dependencies

    In variant configuration when i try to create object dependency (tcode=cu01), after entering the dependency and also description when i enter the syntax in the source code it is giving error: error in syntax check for simple condition
    I have entered syntax as  : engine_cap in ('1000','1400','2000'), pls guide me with the solution to create object dependency

    Dear, Shakeer
    Please follow along with my very own config guide of variant config.
    1)     Create a configurable Material Using KMAT u2013Material Type. Item Category 0002 and Item Category Group 0002. Go to classification tab-here you maintain the class type 300 and assign the class, we will create this shortly. (So after creating class come back into MM02 and input the class that you create in step 2.)
    2)     Create a class in T-Code CL01. Use class type 300 for Variants. In this we assign the characteristics we will create shortly.
    3)     Create characteristics in T-Code CT04. Create your characteristic like for example, Z_Type, Z_Model, and Z_Color.
    4)     We must create a characteristic for the pricing. Example, Z_CarPrice inside this characteristic we must maintain. Table Name SDCOM, Field Name VKOND in the additional data tab. Also, go to restrictions tab and enter the class type 300 Variants. Now in order to make this pricing work for you, you must maintain (enter) all the values from the characteristics. For example, Red, Blue, Black, Honda, Toyota, GLI, XLI, and 2.0D.
    5)     Now going back to the characteristics in CT04 change mode. Make sure Basic Data has *Multiple Selections circled. * Character Format has 26 and a check in case sensitive. Make sure in restrictions tab class type 300 Variants is present. Go back to Values and highlight the first one. Example, Red then go to Extras->Object Dependencies->Assignments You must maintain this code $self.Z_CarPrice=u2019Redu2019 in basic data make sure itu2019s released & procedure is filled in. Go back to dependency editor and paste the same code there after 000010 $self.Z_CarPrice=u2019Redu2019 and do this for each and every value. Very Important * Maintain configuration profile in T-Code CU41 for the material -> Priority 01, Variant Configuration, Class 300, status, Released 1, then click save. Note: If 2 conditions are inactive use class group A instead of B in SPRO for Condition type VA00.
    6)     Go to T-Code VK11 and enter VA00 condition type. Enter all the values maintained in the characteristics for example, Red, Blue, Black, Toyota, Etc and enter the price then click on save. Now it should work fine in VA01. Make sure you have assigned the VA00 condition type in the pricing procedure.
    Good Luck,

  • How to hide variant configuration screen in sales order

    Hi Friends,
    Could you please help : how to hide variant configuration screen in sales order for a configured material
    Ranjan

    Hi
    The very purpose of VARIANT CONFIGURATION is to for this material these are the characteristics available
    In this you choose one characteristic then these are the values available
    If you make a choice then this is the price
    Means Maruthi car is the product
    Say 800
           Alto
           Zen
    These are characteristics
    In this you choose say black, cherry red, white these are the values
    When you put a sales order for Maruthi car then if it is 800 black colour then price is X
    if it is 800 white colour then price is y
    So that according to the choice of the customer the pricing and other details are fetched
    Why do you want to defeat the very purpose of VARIANT CONFIGURATION
    Rather than listing out of the whole product list the system simplifies the thing
    Without that popup variant configuration is meaningless
    Regards

  • Sales Order text for Variant Configuration

    Hello
    I have researched my issue and also have asked other peers for guidance.  I feel that I am really close to getting my issue to work but I am not sure what I am missing, so I am hoping that someone can give me some advice as to what to check please.  See below for the description. 
    My issue is in reference to SD Variant Configuration and is outlined below.
    Overview
    Main Unit is a radio test set
    Test set can have an upgraded software
    Example
    Model 6015 u2013 standard test set
    Model 6015T u2013 Upgraded software test set
    Model 6015V u2013 Upgraded Software + test Set
    Requirement
    Use same Material Number using Variant Configuration for the upgrades
    Price is to default to the Upgraded price
    NOTE:
    Our materials are already established and are set up as material type Finished Goods; ERLA item category; sales order item category is a copy of TAC.   I am using a Configurable Material type KMAT, item category 0002 and linking to the FG material item category ERLA in the material master.
    I have created the Material Variant (KMAT) in MM01
    Created the characteristic in CT04
    Created Classification in MM02 for material FG
    Created Super BOM for Configurable Material in CS01 and added the upgrades as Alt Bom 2 for upgrade  and 3 for Upgrade+.  Also added the Alt BOM text
    Created Profile of configurable material in CU41
    For the Material I added the configurable material to MRP 3 screen in MM02
    Created the BOM link in CS40
    I simulate the material in CU50.  I enter my material; select the icon for configuration, I can see the characteristic Value Assignment nad see my characteristics Description.  I go to the value and use the drop down I then see the pop up of all the different values. 
    I have created Characteristic Reference VCSD_UPDATE_ARKTX with table VCSD_UPDATE and field ARKTX - no values
    I have created a characteristic Test_Choice with the 2 values one is Test Upgrade 1 and the other is Test Upgrade 2.  Both of these have the description as well.
    For Material Text:
    I have set up a reference characteristic using 30 character format (named VCSD_UPDATE_ARKTX),
    with table name VCSD_UPDATE and field name ARKTX.
    Then in the Configuration Profile(CU42) for configurable material,  added a procedure(named PR_PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION) to the dependencies which contains code that sets the description
    $self.VCSD_UPDATE_ARKTX = ''Test Upgrade 1u201D
      If $self.TEST_CHOICE = Test_Upgrade_1,
    $self.VCSD_UPDATE_ARKTX = ''Test Upgrade 2u201D
      If $self.TEST_CHOICE = Test_Upgrade_2,
    When Entering the sales order for Material Number XXXXXX, I receive a pop up that I can select which Alternate BOM (from CS02) I would like.  I select my line item and then select the configuration icon at the bottom of the sales order.  I see again my characterestics values (the same as CU50) but am unable to select the radio button.  Not sure if this part is standard.  Still no change in the sales order line item.  I have validated that I am using a copy of the standard TAC item category.  How does the text change to the correct value?  Am I missing a seeting somewhere.  Please provide any guidance with this as I have been trying to get this to work for over a month.
    Thank you for your time.  It is greatly appreciated.

    I have figured out that this will work if I go to the standard material (it is not KMAT but it is a FERT material type) and set the flag in the Material Master Basic Data 2 tab that this is a configurable material and not use KMAT material type for a super BOM.   The text changes for this scenario so it give me hope.
    This is not ideal, as I want to use the Super BOM because there are different variations (non stock items) that I need to pull through on the picking list in order to tell the end user which option needs to be loaded in the standard material.  At least I know the text can change on the sales order; but I am still struggling with the use of the super BOM and changing the sales text when there is use of a super bom as you tie that to the MRP 3 screen of the FERT material type.  I can set everything up, but the text will not change if I set up the material master this way.  Guidance is appreciated.
    Example
    Material 72433 (FERT)
    on sales order I enter 72433, my alternate BOM comes up with different Options.  Alternate BOM 1 is standard configuration;  My Alternate BOM 2 has Option 3 and 4 while alternate BOM 3 has option 5 and 6.  Alternate BOM 2 is a 6015T and Alternate BOM 3 is a 6015V.
    I want my sales order to pull through the text of 6015T or 6015V, whichever is chosen.  I want my picklist to print out the option that was selected.
