Copy Order Bom in Two-Step Variant Configuration

Dear Community,
In Multilevel VC Order Bom Scenario. Configuration is made for the first level by sales department, then further levels are configurated by Technical Department.
If the sales document is a quotation and then we want to create de sales order with reference to the quotation, only the configuration for the first level is getting copied. All the characteristics of the lower level configurable materials appear in blank, as well as selected class items in quotation as well as manually added components.
Is there a way to copy the whole order bom of the original document or the characteristics value for every level?
Thank you
Sebastián Ligueros

Hi Rahul,
Basically , an order bom doesnot explode therefore you cannot configure any of the components.Please review note 303446
By changing the default value of the variable GV_FORCE_BOM_EXPLOSION_ASL in Include LCUKOFBE, you can force the explosion of the order BOM in the sales order.As a result, subordinate items of the order BOM are configured provided that these items were not fixed.I
Therefore please set this variable GV_FORCE_BOM_EXPLOSION_ASL to X and retest,
Thanks

Order BOM process- material vairant for configurable assembly

Hi,
I am working on multi-level material variants with order BOM process. The configurable header material and assembly should be
replaced by material variants after configuration is done. I configured the multi-level BOM explosion at sales order. After I configured the assembly, I executed type matching and a material variant for assembly was found. But the system didn't replace
configurable assembly with material variant automatically and I couldn't find any functionality to carry out replacement. The header material was replaced by material variant in sales order entry. However, while I tried to carried out technical processing to
create order BOM (CU51), the error message shows that I couldn't create order BOM due to the header material has been replaced
with material variant. Does anyone have experience at multi-level material variants with order BOM process? Please kindly help.
Thanks.

Hi ,
Could you pls explain the issue bit more clearly, As per my understanding you are using order BOM with variant configuration
Is it correct ?
Check the configuration profile settings ( CU41 ) , did you selected the order BOM radio button

Bom explosion after MRP (variant configuration)

Hi Experts,
I'm facing a problem here, for unknow undentified reason until now, after I run the MD50 with a configuration material, I cannot get a explosion of the itens. This is happening in 4 cases here and I cannot get any good result, I check dependencies rules and everything and no success
Does anyone know waht can I do?
regards
Oliver

HI,
If a BOM is not exploded possible reasons could be
1. Validity period of BOM
2. BOM Status should be active for MRP.
3. BOM Components should be relevant to production.
4. Check whether you have defined the selection ID for the
priority of BOM Usage in SPRO define order of priority of
BOM Usage.

Process order with variant configuration material

Hi,
I create a process order for a material XX.
This material has a BOM with a material that has variant configuration "class type 300" for price configuration.
When I save the process order I get a message saying "There are still characteristics for components to evaluate". I dont want to evaluate this material in my process order.
What can I do to not have this message?
Regards.

Hi all,
Yes, I work with variant configuration. But sales orders are not involved.
What I do is:
1) I create a purchase order for material X (this material belongs to a BOM), this material has variant configuration. I give a value to the characteristics in the PO.
2) I create a process for a material XXX that has a BOM (material X is in the BOM and cannot be removed).
3) When I save the process order the system asks me to evaluate again the characteristics. This is what I dont want it to do.
Any ideas?
Regards.

Settings for order bom

Dear All,
Can anyone tell me setting for order bom so that the order BOM is exploded in sales order and MRP can be carried out on this BOM
Regards
Prashant

Hi,
Pls. find the details of Maintaining an Order BOM without Variant Configuration as below :
Create an Order BOM :
Prerequisites:
You have entered the sales order for which you want to create the order BOM.
Procedure:
1.Choose Logistics ® Production ® Master data ® Bills of material ® Bill of material ® Order BOM ® Create.
The Create Order BOM: initial screen appears.
2.Enter the sales order number, the order item, the material number and the BOM usage.
If you want to use a material BOM, or an existing order BOM to copy from, go to step 4. If you want to create an order BOM without a reference, click and go to step 7.
You cannot use a configurable BOM as a reference.
3.Click Order BOM (copy order BOM) or Material BOM (copy material BOM).
The Copy material BOM or Copy order BOM dialog box appears.
4.Enter the data required and click .
The item overview appears, for the bill of material you are using as a reference.
5.Select the items you want to copy to the order BOM and click .
The item overview for your new order BOM appears. The items you transferred are displayed in the item overview.
6.Enter new items and alter items if necessary. Entering items in order BOMs is similar to entering items in material BOMs. However, you cannot enter class items in order BOMs. You can find further information in the Bills of Material documentation in Creating New Items.
Save your order BOM.
Example: Creating Order BOM Without Variant Configuration :
The material BOM for material A contains components B and C, which are themselves assemblies. The material BOM for material C contains components D and E and the material BOM for material C contains components F and G.
A sales order is created for customer Smith, with the number 821. Material A is inserted under sales order item 10 in this sales order. At the request of customer Smith, for this sales order, the bill of material for assembly C is changed manually. Component H is added to components F and G. This change should not take effect in the material BOM, because assembly C is only expected to be produced once in this form, for customer Smith.
An order BOM is generated from the material BOM for material C. Since nothing was changed in the bills of material for materials A and B, in this sales order the material BOM will continue to be used for these assemblies.
Hope this helps.
Revert if any doubt and reward if useful.
Regards,
Tejas

Problem while creating PO from SO for a Variant configurable material

Hi
i am facing a problem when i am creating a Purchse order from a Sales order.
the material is a variant configurable material and we are creating a Sales order in Future date say in june.
For one of the materials in the SO the configuration is different today and the configuration is different in June.
Today the BOM contains different materials and in june there is a different bom for the material.
and according to my understanding the BOM gets exploded on the basis on the delivery date in SO.
here on the basis of the config which is valid in june materials are getting picked and that is correct.
when i try to creat a PO out of that SO i could see that the BOM gets exploded and correct materials are picked but i get the error message that inforecord for one of the componentes is not there.
but that component is not getting selected in the config..and it is not there in BOM in june.
It is there in the BOM today but not in JUNE.
I dont understand why the system is refering to that componeent and throwing this error
please help
Thanks & Regards

You may try creating two BOMs -- one speicfic to the date of order.

Two-step verification is not available in "Passwords and Security" as it should be

In order to activate two-step verification for my apple account I was told to log in at appleid.apple.com, go to "Passwords and Security" and locate "Two step verification".
It is not there. I answer the security questions, I can change my password, set a rescue email, change my security questions, but no "two-step verification".
I live in Romania, does that have anything to do with it? Are my people not worthy of extra security yet?

2-step verification is not available in Romania as yet. There isn't any information about roll-out to countries in which it's not yet available.

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,
Kanan
Edited by: Kannan SA on Jul 6, 2011 8:59 PM

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.

Copying Variant Configuration across sales order items

Hi,
We are working with SAP 4.7.
I have a requirement to default the variant configuration values entered within line 1 of the sales order entry process on to subsequent lines. i.e. defaulting initial values for the configuration.
Our users have to enter many variant line items on a sales order and within an individual order the variant characteristics will be very similar, therefore by defaulting these values to be the same as the previously entered line would be a considerable overhead saving.
However I am having difficulty accessing the variant values which have been entered in the first line item. I have looked at userexit_move_workarea_to_sdwa and userexit_get_field_from_sdcom, however I don't know if I am heading in the right direction. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

We are doing this with main-positions and subpositions. The sales clerk enters the main Position with all the characteristics, switches to the tab "Fast data entry" types in the main position, he wants to copy from and the material. There is a dependency which calls a function module which does the real work.
This works with 4.6B in 4.7 there is a psotion type global position which acts similiar.
Ok, now the code:
Dependency
pfunction Z_SD_WERTE_CHARACTERICS
(SD_VBAP_UEPOS         = SD_VBAP_UEPOS,
   STAERKE           = $self.STAERKE,
   BREITE              = $self.BREITE)
/code
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_SD_INHERITANCE'
     EXPORTING
          GLOBALS        = globals
     TABLES
          QUERY          = query
          MATCH          = match
     EXCEPTIONS
          FAIL           = 1
          INTERNAL_ERROR = 2
          OTHERS         = 3
/code
Z_SD_INHERITANCE
DATA: h_uepos LIKE vbap-uepos.
DATA: x_values TYPE ibco2_value_rec OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
-values.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
*-- Ausgabeverarbeitung
LOOP AT match WHERE atcio = 'O'.
*-- Konvertierung ATINN auf ATNAM
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM cabn WHERE atnam = match-varnam.
    CHECK sy-subrc EQ '0'.
    READ TABLE x_values WITH KEY atinn = cabn-atinn.
    IF     sy-subrc IS INITIAL AND
       NOT x_values-atwrt IS INITIAL.
      match-atwrt = x_values-atwrt.
    ELSEIF sy-subrc IS INITIAL AND
       NOT x_values-atflv IS INITIAL.
      match-atflv = x_values-atflv.
    ENDIF.
    match-atfor = cabn-atfor.
    MODIFY match.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFUNCTION.

Variant Configuration - Order BOM problems

Good morning,
I am having problems regarding the Order BOM in variant configuration. I have maintained the configuration profile as follows:
CONFIG PARAMETERS
Ordem BOM
Result oriented
Multilevel
BOM application - SD01
ORDER BOM
Maint. in order allowed - checked
Automatic fixing - checked
I have also maintained a BOM, for usage '5 - sales and distriburion', with the selection conditions at the object dependencies.
When I test the results in CU50, assign all characteristics and push the button "Engineering" the icons for manual maintenance appear correctly in the screen...BUT when I raise the actual order, the icons are gone, therefore I cant add or delete items of the selected BOM.
Any ideias of how to fix that?
Thanks in advance.

Variant Configuration - product validation step at sales order

Hi all,
By using Variant Configuration, new products can be created at sales order entry ==> is there any way to put a validation process in place where a number of checks (by different people) should be performed before being able to save the order?
thanks
Bart

Hi Vineet,
Thanks for your answer.
I realize dependencies can help control which characteristics value can be choosen. In the meantime my question became; how I can prevent that my sales order gets visible for the planning department (typically they would look in transaction MD04 I guess)? I will post this question under the appropriate topic.
This is the type of flow I have in mind:
customer service fills in the order, specifies the values for the characteristics, Availability check runs and the order is saved
order is saved but not confirmed so it is not transferred to planning
planning (or other department like production) checks the order and the variant. If it is ok, they will confirm the order so it gets to the planning. If not, they will get in contact with customer service.
I'm not experienced in availability check, planning, etc so I might have written big mistakes here.
Kr,
Bart

Steps for Variant Configuration

Hi Gurus,
Can any body tell me step by step procedure for variant configuration.
My e-mail id. <REMOVED>
Regds.......
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
Variant configuration is for manufacturing complex products. The manufacturer always has 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.
Procedure -
Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
Create Characteristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
Create another characteristics in CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table SDCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)
Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass (Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment i.e. assign Zbikclass.
Now go back to CT04 - enter Zbike -go to values- select Red- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red' and save
Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
Now go to VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition) (For Std RVA001 Pricing Procedure) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.

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:
a.. CA Classification
b.. LO Material Master
c.. PP Bill of Material
d.. PP Routings
e.. PP-PI Master Recipes
f.. SD Sales
g.. SD Conditions
h.. MM Purchasing
i.. CO Costing
j.. PP Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
k.. PP Production Orders
You can configure the following objects:
a.. Materials
b.. Standard networks in the Project System.
c.. PM General maintenance task lists
d.. Model service specifications
Features
You do not need to create a separate material for each variant of a product in your
company. You can use one configurable material to cover all variants. You create a
super BOM and a super routing for this material, containing all the components and
operations for producing all variants of the product.
To define the features of a configurable material, you use characteristics. To
enable you to use characteristics to configure a material, you assign the material
to a class of class type 300. Possible characteristics of a car, for example, are
model, country, color, and engine. The customer can choose from among different
options for each characteristic (values).
The only limitations are combinations of features that are not possible for either
technical or marketing reasons. You cannot combine all types of car engine with all
types of transmission, for example, or certain types of upholstery are only
available for more expensive models. In Variant Configuration, you use dependencies
to control this. This prevents combinations of options that are not allowed.
Dependencies also select exactly the right BOM components and operations to produce
a variant.
Each configurable object must have a configuration profile. The configuration
profile for a material controls the configuration process in the sales order.
You can make the price of a variant dependent on the characteristic values assigned
(Pricing). You can use variant conditions to define surcharges and discounts for a
variant.
For variants that are required frequently, you can create material variants, which
can be produced without a sales order and kept in stock. When you receive a sales
order, you can check whether the variant required is in stock, so that you can
deliver immediately.

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.
