Displaying characteristics

Hi all,
I have a query with several characteristics set to No Display in Query Designer. In AO, these come through as greyed out - they can still be added to or removed from the worksheet but I can't see an option to get the values displayed. The Members button only gives the usual Key/Text options - in Web Analyzer you also get the option to turn the display on or off.
Does anybody know whether this is possible to change during AO runtime or do I have to revert back to Query Designer and do it there? (this would be a big backward step in my view as it involves re-transporting the query).
Thanks,
Glenn De Santis

Hi Glenn De Santis,
Not right now
That is planned for the Analysis 2.0 (next release, I believe)

Display Characteristics-Planning Book Selected Objects

Dear Experts
Product , Product group and product category are 3 char. in my Planning Book
by using shullfer we selected to show one of the char. but i want the display of selected objects (Top left box of the Planning book) to be showing all the 3 characteristics. based on the filter criteria specified.
Just displaying one char. specified in show is not enough.
Same question as in
Re: Display Characteristics
any help to fix this issue will be rewarded.
Thanks in advance
Shayma

Shyam Kumar,
Once you have a selection ID with the 3 chars, you could use Show as only one char, lets say use 'Product' Char here. You can use the Header settings to include the other two - Product group and product category and then drill down on all 3 Chars Values as you wish. You can save this header settings and next time the user logs in, you need not redo these settings.

Group and display characteristics in a user friendly way

Hi all,
We have a scenario where we have created a DOC type which we assigned to a class with several characteristics.
The problem is that the characteristics are not disaplayed in a very user friendly way in tab "additinal data".
Is there any customizing we can do in order to group the characteristics?
For example:
-Is it possible to show 3 or 4 characteristics and then have an empty line and then show another 4
-or Is it possible to customize to create sub tabs?
Any other ideas that can make it easier for the end users to change/display their characteristics would be helpful!
Best Regards
Mikael

All the configuration data is stored in some tables. So adding some lines as a separator into a database won't be possible since tables have fields which have certain data types which won't match the requirement.
Hence your requirement cannot be met.
Hope this answers your query.

How to display characteristics with filterd values in WebReports

Hi
we use webreporting (BI 7.0) for our endusers and have designed a very simple webtemplate. All the characteristics you can see in the "selection window" are displayed in a header section with the values set for each variable. Due to the simplicity of the template we do not want to display all characteristics in the header with all possible filtered values set on any charateristic which are available on the report.
There is a standard webitem to display these filtered values but we can not use it as it is too large.
Is it possible to change the apperance of a characteristic (make it bold, or red, or underline if a filter is set) so that the user can see that he have set a filter on any characteristic?
If not, is it possible to simply display any text on the webtemplate indicating that a filter has been set?
Any Ideas?
Best Regards
Markus

Hi Anita,
did you find a solution for this? I have opened a Thread, if you know the answer maybe you could help me out:
Is there an ALV function similar to the TABLE Row grouping?
Thanx in advanced!!!

Display Characteristics multiple times

Dear All,
In BeX Query output i need to display the Characteristics multiple times. Usually the Chars are grouped together and displayed once.
Request you to please let me know if this is possible by changing any property setting.
Regards,
Nitin S.
Have raised the same Query under "BI Suite - Business Explorer".

Go to Query properties --> Display tab and uncheck "Hide Repeated Key Values". Please let me know if you are using WAD as additional step is required in that case

Display Characteristics

In the DP POS, i have defined three Characteristics : Product , Product group and product category. In the Planning book, in the shuffler "selected objects" window , i would like to display the details of the product, product category and product range irrespective of what i choose in the "Show" field in the shuffler window. Is there any way of doing this please?
When we pull up any planning book based on SNP POS 9ASNPBAS, we get a few characteristics starting with INTERN (ex : INTERN_MATLO). Can users define such characteristics by combining the characteristics defined in the POS?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Display characteristics technical names

hi all,
i have a requirement to create workbook with specific format, so i am using a query in an masked sheet and based on that query i created the needed format in an other sheet.
now i the problem is how to link thus two sheets, to resolve this i am using technical names of the characteristics.
The question is how to display technical names in the workbook (query sheet)? now i am connecting with a language for which there is no text description to get them, but it may cause some problems for the users.
Thank you.

Hi Srinivas,
thanks for your replay, but it's not a solution we have a huge number of KFs.
any other idea?
also if you have a best method to link the query sheet and the formatted sheet, please share it with me.
Thanks

Displaying Characteristics on every row in Report

Hello,
My report is as follows:
Branch                   Date                       Amt                 Qty
100                        01/01/2009                  5                   1
(blank cell)             02/01/2009                   12                1
200                        01/01/2009                  10                  1
by default, whenever we execute the report in BW, result is as above as branch 100 has two records for two different. But what I need is following
Branch                      Date                     Amt                    Qty
100                            01/01/2009               5                      1
100                            02/01/2009               12                     1
200                            01/01/2009               10                     1
I need to display specific branch on all cells rather than showing empty cell. This is needed as I am passing this file to some external DB. How it can be achieved? I looked into all properties in Query designer, but could not find anything.
Regards
Pank
Edited by: Pankaj Nimje on Jan 13, 2009 1:46 AM

When we excecute the report on Bex Browser, click setting --> tab 'Table' and under Data-Specific setting, we hava option for 'Displaying Repeated Text'. And this is working fine.
But we do not have such option in Query Designer so that I need not have to set this everytime of execute the report. In query Designer properties, we have option 'Repeated KEY values'.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Nokia C7 Display Defect

Hi,
I have a Nokia C7-00 that was purchased SIM free and unbranded in Germany, with which I'm experiencing distinct colour banding / gradient problems. It is also common on Nokia N8 displays. I'll try to describe my problem:
The first tell tale sign of the issue seems to be a common one: A purplish tint on the top half of the screen saver clock (visible when the phone is keylocked and then the menu key is pressed).
As time has passed by since first noticing this problem- I have also noticed that videos and images that are predominantly dark are also having issues being displayed properly. The effect being similar to if the image was being shown on a screen with limited colours, for example, if you set your computer screen to display only 16bit colours. In areas of images that black is supposed to fade into lighter colours, the image is completely off.
There is an active discussion about this problem on another forum:
http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/nokia-n8/39462-i-think-nokia-using-two-different-types-screen-n8-may...
I have attached pictures of my screen with the problem.
I have contacted Nokia care and they have no input other than re-installing my firmware (which is impossible to do anyway- as they seem to have provided me with inaccurate instructions- there is no way to re-install my firmware via Ovi Suite or the handset)
Any help?
I've since moved away from Germany and from what I understand my 2 year warranty is only valid in Europe...
Attachment 1 is supposed to be black to white squares in increasing gradient
Attachment 2 is supposed to be black into white, but on my display somehow a brown/purple tint is in between the black and white
Attachment 3 is the screensaver clock that is supposed to be black, but on my screen the top half is displayed with a purple hue
Here is an image of two Nokia N8's from someone experiencing the same display characteristics as my C7, and one with a good display. The problem can be seen better in these images:
Nokia N8 Display 1
Nokia N8 Display 2

hi guys my n8 has this issue too
iam not impressed by it and have contacted nokia on facebook , twitter , email and phone yet they dont seem the least bit intrested at the minute
i have even got a nokia tech from a nsc to report it to them via correct channels yet nokia dont seem to care about this
it happends when colours fade into each other or get lighter , main colours are white/grey/black and these turn to a purple/red colour just like in the pictures above
ive also had another n8 and it didnt have this problem , my girlfriend has a n8 too and is on the same product code etc and the screens are so different it is unreal
i thin nokia might be using two screens on the n8 too meet demand as amoled screens are in demand at the minute so maybe they have sourced another froma differnt amoled maker
i cant see any other reason for the difference in image quality between my girlfriends and my screen , same product code , same firmware , same theme and settings yet the results are so different its worrying
forget using the n8 to watch videos if you have one of these screens with a purple tint as the blacks/whites/greys will look purple and ruin the film etc
my video playing has gone from watching dvd quality to watch a dodgy pirate with pixelation and purple tints and banding
id like to see more users post up here so nokia can see there is a bit of a problem and start looking into it as at the minute they dont seem fussed
perhaps people havent noticed the purple tint but if you have seen one with a proper screen and then one with a puple tint you can easily spot the difference the screen quality is no where near as good as the ones without tints , coliurs are deeper richer and nicer to view on the screen wihout the tint
iam waiting for another n8 to turn up today as a replacement if it has the purple screen too i will be extremley gutted and a unhappy n8 user even though its my dream device itll feel tainted because of the screen

Display dynamic columns in ALV

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have develop a report displaying material master basic data and classification data. The basic data I am getting from MARA and MAKT tables. And for classification data I am getting the class maintained from each material from tables INOB,KSSK and from KLAH, then I am getting the characteristics and its values by calling BAPI u2018BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAILu2019 for each material .
Now I have to prepare ALV having column name for basic data (would be static) and characteristic name (would be dynamic, and I have to display characteristics values under it, for each material ).
For example: if material u2018CHWOJA4u2019 has 2 characteristics as u2018country (value u2018Franceu2019)u2019 and u2018creation season(value u2018Decu2019)u2019 and second material u2018E50480u2019 has 3 characteristics as u2018Abacus (value u2018yesu2019)u2019 ,u2018country (value u2018Indiau2019)u2019 and u2018 season(value Jank)u2019 , the ALV output would be :
Material Number;     Material description; Base Unit of Measure;Material Group; Abacus; Country;season
CHWOJA4; JACKET;PC;Z05; ; France;Dec
E50480;BRAZIL REAL;PC;Z06; yes; India;Jan
In short, my last column of the ALV would be the characteristic name and the content would be the char. value.
Can you please suggest some ways to achieve this? A quick reply would be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Vanitha

Idea here is to have many fields for characterstic values in your output internal table.
For eg.
types : Begin of ty_mara,
           matnr type matnr_d,
           mtext type mktxt,
           char1 type string,
           char2 type string,
           char20 type string.
Check for all the materials which has the maximum characterstic values. So, say for a material, there are 12 characterstics values and that is the maximum compared to anyother materials. Then in the field catalog hide the columns related to charactertics CHAR13 onwards till CHAR20.
Note : I have assumed char20 as the max., which you can alter based on your scenario.

Crystal Report with Compound Key

Hi,
I have Characteristic with Compound Key in SAP BW 7.0. This Characteristic use to store the Purchase Order Item Line. The Compound Key is the Purchase Order Document.
So I will have the following fields created for this Characteristic:
Compound Key (Purchase Order Document) 5600001982, Purchase Order Item Line 10
I created a Query for this Characteristic and I have the following as result:
10 ...
20 ...
30 ...
All works fine.
Now I created the Crystal Report from this Query. When I display this Characteristic in Crystal Report, I have the following:
5600001982/10
5600001982/20
5600001982/30
Is this a bug or Crystal not support the Compound Key?
Please advise, thank you.

Hello,
Did you get this resolved.
Were you able to display characteristics in Crystal without the compounding characteristic.
Thanks.

Transaction variant not working

Hey,
I am facing with this peculiar problem of transaction variant. I created a transaction variant as desired by my client for VA01 and activated the same. I checked the status in the transaction VA01 and there it showed that the transaction variant has been successfully applied. But when I check for the fields that I wanted to be made non editable or invisible the same was not reflected in the transaction. Now after trying enough like creating new transaction variants, adding new screen variants to the existing transaction variant, somehow it has started working. But now when I change the transaction variant, even after activating it, the changes in the variant are not reflected in the transaction. Old changes are being reflected. Please advise!
The reconstruction steps are as follows:
SHD0 -
Creation of transaction variant - with processing.
Activating it.
Appreciate a quick response. Thanks in advance.
Note: It might be that I am going wrong somewhere, I would really appreciate if someone could send me a file containing screenshots on how to create and use transaction variants. My email ID is
[email protected]
Regards,
Z

hi,
just check out the following pre-requisites if you have followed them or not:
You can assign various transaction variants to individual sales document types.
With the help of transaction variants, you create various variants for the same transaction in order to simplify your transaction flows. You can achieve this by:
Preassigning fields with values
Fading out and changing input availability for fields
Fading out entire screens
In this way, you can provide your users with screens which are defined according to their specific needs per sales document type.
When a transaction variant is created, several screen variants are created for each individual screen for the transaction chosen for the variant. The system accesses this screen variant when a transaction variant is applied.
PrerequisitesIn the standard system, transaction variants for Sales (for example, quotation, sales order, credit memo request, group master contract) are defined for all business objects. Assignment of transaction variants for the sales document type is carried out in Customizing for sales document types.
Activities
You will find the transaction for creating a transaction variant in Customizing, under General Settings - Field Display Characteristics - Configure application transaction fields. You can find further information on this in the implementation guide.
Assignment of transaction variants to sales document types can be found in Customizing for Sales, under Sales - Sales Documents - Sales Document Header - Define Sales Document Types in the Variants field.
In order that a transaction can be called up depending on a sales document type, the system of course needs the information as to which sales document type should be worked with. This choice is however made by the user on the initial screen first.
This means that the initial screen can not be modified or faded out within a transaction variant. If you wish to miss out or modify the initial screen with the choice of sales document types, you need to create a variant transaction, this means a variant is created for a complete transaction. This transaction will then have ist own name, which has been defined by you.
regards,
Siddharth.

Varinat configuration

Variant Configuration
Variant configuration is for manufacturing complex products in which customer determines the features of the product. Objective of variant configuration is to react quickly to customers' requirements.
 Here it needs not to create separate material for each variant of a product. When companies introduce variant configuration this often goes beyond a business process re-engineering project. Variant configuration offers an opportunity to restructure product structures for which then processes are defined. This has a direct impact to the core areas such as marketing and product data management.
2 Advantages of VC
 No need to Create separate material master for each variant combination.
 Super BOM and Super Routing is enough for representing all possible Variants and Operations.
 Able to react more flexible to customer demands.
 Increase Information exchange between sales, engineering and production.
3 What is Configurable Material?
 A material with different features or characteristics and options is known as configurable material. Example: PC, Car.
 Configurable materials are either created in a material type that allows the configuration (n the standard system, the material type KMAT) or they are given the indicator Configurable in the material master record.
4 Master Data used for VC
Following Objects are used as Master data for Variant configuration.
1. Super BOM
2. Super Routing
3. Characteristic
4. Class
5. Object Dependencies
6. Configuration Profile
7. SD Condition records
4.1 Super BOM
Super BOM Contains all the components for producing configurable product. It contains both variant as well as non-variant parts required for producing configurable product.
4.1.1 Super BOM configuration
Super BOM can be created either one of the following methods.
 Create BOM with class Item of 200-class type that contains all characteristic of a configurable material.
 Create BOM with all possible materials as its components. Then assign /define dependencies to each component.
The different between this two method is
 BOM with class item, no need to assign or define object dependencies. Instead of that each material is classified in material master itself using class 200.
 For both cases all characteristics are assigned to class 300 which is again assigned to KMAT material in order to trigger configuration in configuration profile.
4.1.2 Super BOM with Class Item
 Class items used to control the selection of variant parts in a BOM. Variant parts are classified in a class, and the class is entered in the BOM as a class item. When you configure the material, the class is replaced by a suitable variant part.
4.1.3 Advantages of using Class Item in BOM
 Only one item for the class is enough, instead of several items for the individual variant parts.
 No need to create and assign selection conditions.
 Able to classify additional objects in the class at any time, without having to change the BOM.
4.1.4 Steps involved in super BOM with Class
Define all Characteristics and its Values assign it to Class with type 200.
Assign characteristic Values to materials by Classification material
Assign class 200 with material instead of assigning all BOM items.
Create and Assign class 300 (with same characteristics) with configurable product using configuration profile.
4.1.5 Super BOM with Material Components
This bill of material (BOM) of a configurable material contains all the components that are required to manufacture the material. The BOM contains components that are only used in specific variants (variant parts), as well as components that are used in all variants (non-variable parts).
4.1.6 Steps involved in super BOM with Material Components
Define all Characteristics and its values assign it to Class with type 300.
Assign Class with configurable material in Configuration profile.
BOM is created with all variant and non-variant items.
Define interdependency between objects (Characteristic, BOM item, Routing Operation etc) by using Object Dependencies.
Assign class 300 with configurable product using configuration profile.
4.2 Super Routing
 A configurable routing describes the production process for all variants of a product. Instead of creating a routing for each variant of a product, you can create operations for one routing, or a "super" routing.
It is possible to maintain Object dependencies for following in super routing:
 Sequences
 Operations/sub-operations
 Production resource/tool assignments
The routing is configured by system, when order is created for KMAT material.
4.3 Characteristic
Characteristic is used to define the features of a configurable material. To enable to use characteristics to configure a material, assign the material to a class of class type 300. The customer can choose from among different options for each characteristic.
 Characteristics describe the properties of objects. The values of a characteristic specify these properties.
 Value assignment to characteristic may be single value or multiple value with required entry or restrict able entry.
 In characteristic it is also possible to use table name and its field name in order to change the Object quantity or values. I.e. BOM item quantity or Operation time, which is known as reference characteristic.
 In Restriction screen allowed Class types are entered i.e. for what are the class this characteristic may used. In general for Variant configuration class 200 and 300 are used.
 It is also possible to assign Dependency to characteristic values maintained in Characteristic.
4.4 Variant Class
 In Variant configuration, Class is used to hold the characteristics that describe about configurable material. Class type to determine which object types can be classified.
 Class is used in variant configuration if the class has a class type that supports variant configuration. In Customizing for Classification, the Variant class type indicator must be set for the class type. In the standard system, this is class type 300.
4.5 Dependencies
 Dependencies restricts the combinations of options i.e. characteristic that are not allowed. It also select exactly the right BOM components and operations to produce a variant.
 It also describe the interdependencies between characteristics and characteristic values
 It control which components are selected from a bill of material (BOM) and which operations are selected from a task list
 It also changes the values of fields in BOM items and operations during configuration.
4.5.1 Global and Local Dependencies
Global dependencies have the following properties:
 They are independent of any object.
 They are identified by a name that you assign, and are maintained and managed centrally.
 If you change a global dependency, the change affects all the objects where the dependency is used
Local dependencies have the following properties:
 They are only available to the object for which you create them
 You cannot use the central maintenance functions on these dependencies, and you cannot allocate them to other objects
 They are identified by a number assigned by the system, not an external name
Local dependencies are only used where certain dependency will not be needed elsewhere
The differences between global and local dependencies are as follows:
 Global dependencies are created centrally and can be assigned to several objects.
 Local dependencies are created for one object and can only be used with this object
4.5.2 Declarative and Procedural Dependency
 In Declarative dependencies the result are explained logically
 Declarative dependencies are easier to trace than procedural dependencies, because the point in time when the dependency is processed and the sequence in which the dependencies are processed are not relevant.
 Example for Declarative dependency:
- Constraint
- Actions
- Preconditions (provided that they contain no non-declarative expressions)
- Selection conditions (provided that they contain no non-declarative expressions)
 In Procedural Dependency result depends on the processing sequence and the point in time when the dependency is processed.
- Procedures
- Preconditions (only if they contain non-declarative expressions)
- Selection conditions (only if they contain non-declarative expressions)
4.5.3 Dependencies Types
The SAP System supports the following types of dependencies:
 Preconditions
 Selection conditions
 Procedures
 Actions (obsolete)
 Constraints
4.5.4 Preconditions
Preconditions can be allocated to the following objects:
 A characteristic that you want to hide
 A characteristic value that you want to hide
Preconditions are used to hide characteristics and characteristic values that are not allowed and thereby ensure that the configuration of an object is consistent. In the precondition, it is also possible define the circumstances under which a characteristic or value is hidden.
A precondition is fulfilled if the condition you enter is either true or not violated.
4.5.5 Selection Conditions
Selection conditions used to ensure that all the objects relevant to a variant are selected:
 Selection conditions determine which variants require a specific component or operation
 Selection conditions determine when it is mandatory to assign a value to a characteristic
Selection conditions may allocate to the following objects:
 Characteristics
 BOM items
 Operations in task lists
 Sub-operations
 Sequences of operations
 Production resources/tools (PRTs)
A selection condition is fulfilled if the condition in it is unambiguously true.
4.5.6 Procedure
Procedures can be assigned to the following objects:
 The characteristic value that triggers the procedure
 The characteristic that triggers the procedure
 The configuration profile of the configurable object
Procedure is used for following purposes.
 A procedure is used to infer a value for a characteristic, you enter the variable $SELF before the characteristic.
 Procedures can overwrite values that are set by other procedures.
 Procedures are always used for pricing (see Variant Conditions).
Processing Sequences of Procedure
If an object has more than one procedure, a processing sequence is used to define the point when the procedure is processed.
4.5.7 Action
Actions are used to infer characteristic values. An action is processed as soon as the characteristic to which it is assigned has a value. It is not possible to overwrite the characteristic values that are set by an action.
The following Objects can assign to action:
 The characteristic value that triggers the action
 The characteristic that triggers the action
 The configuration profile of the configurable object
 Configuration profile
 BOM items to change the quantity
 Operations in task lists to change the standard values
Since Action is lead to serious system performance problems, it is replaced by Procedure and Constraint.
4.5.8 Constraint
This dependency type is mainly for intensively interactive configuration tasks and for configuration tasks in which you need to take into account the dependencies between the characteristics of several objects. The main purpose of a constraint is to monitor the consistency of a configuration.
Constraints have the following distinguishing features:
 Constraints are used to describe the dependencies between completely different objects and their characteristics.
 Constraints are used to store information on which conditions must be fulfilled if the configuration is to be consistent.
 Constraints are not directly allocated to individual objects. They are grouped together to form dependency nets and allocated to a configurable material in the configuration profile.
 In constraints, you enter objects in their general form of expression, without using $SELF, $ROOT, or $PARENT to identify objects. As a rule, you refer to objects in constraints by entering the class to which the objects are allocated.
 Constraints are declarative dependencies. The processing sequence of constraints and the point in time when constraints are processed is not relevant.
 Constraints are not processed in a specific order. You cannot determine when a specific constraint is used.
In any processing situation, a constraint is only processed once. If a value that is relevant to the constraint is changed, the constraint is triggered again.
4.5.8.1 Structure of Constraints
There are four sections in a constraint. Each part is identified by a keyword. A colon follows the keyword. Each section ends with a period.
OBJECTS:
In this section, you enter the objects that are relevant to the constraint. You must enter the relevant objects in all constraints. You can also define variables for objects or characteristics.
CONDITION:
The condition entered here must be fulfilled in order for the constraint to be used. You do not need to enter a condition in a constraint. You can leave out the keyword CONDITION: if required. However, if you enter the keyword you must enter a condition.
RESTRICTIONS:
In this section, you enter the relation that must exist between the objects and characteristics if the configuration is to be consistent. You must enter a restriction in a constraint.
INFERENCES:
In this section, you enter the characteristics for which characteristic values are to be inferred. The main purpose of constraints is to check the consistency of a configuration. Usually, values are only inferred if you make an entry in this section.
For reasons of performance, only use constraints to infer values if it is really necessary. Constraints are grouped together to form dependency nets. The dependency net is allocated to a configurable material in the configuration profile.
4.5.9 Dependency Net:
Constraints are grouped together in dependency nets. For this reason, the variant configuration menu does not support a function for creating constraints directly. So that only constraints are defined within a dependency net.
5 Configuration Profile
The configuration profile for a material controls the configuration process in sales order. Configurable profile also used to define central settings for configuring the object. Using this profile it is possible to hide some of the characteristic value defined during characteristic creation. We can assign any number profile for a configurable material in which selection is based on either priority or manual selection during configuration.
By defining a filter in the configuration profile, possible to determine the scope of the BOM items to improve system performance when exploding the BOM. The filter is active in high-level configuration, in result-oriented BOMs, and in SET processing.
5.1 Filters in Configurable Profile
Following objects can be used as filter:
 Object type
Class, material, document, text
In the standard system, all object types are selected and therefore exploded in the configuration. Deselect the object types that you do not want to be displayed.
 Item category, for example, stock or non-stock item
All item categories in the configuration are exploded in the standard system. Remove the selection for the item categories you do not want to be displayed.
 Item status
You maintain the status of a BOM item in maintain BOM dependent on its usage.
All items are displayed regardless of their item status in the standard system. However, only the items with this status are displayed when you select specific item statuses. Items are not displayed that do not have the selected status.
 Sort string
You can assign sort strings for BOM items in maintain BOM. You can restrict the display of the BOM items by using these sort strings.
Only items that carry sort strings are checked and only those that match are displayed. Items that have no sort string are always displayed.
5.2 Component availability in the configuration profile
The availability check is just a snapshot, telling that whether the materials required are in stock at this moment. Several users can access the same material at once. This means that supply problems can sometimes be overlooked.
Example: Only 2 pieces of a material are in stock, but the material is used in 3 BOMs. The availability check does not detect a supply problem. The availability check for all 3 BOMs shows 2 pieces in stock.
5.3 Process Overview
There are different processes for configurable materials in sales documents. These processes can be defined on the Configuration initial screen tab in the configuration profile, by choosing the Configuration parameter tab.
The Process are described in the following scenarios:
Planned/Production orders
This processing type is used to describe variant products whose configurable materials are assembled using planned and production orders. The bill of material (BOM) can have single-level, multi-level, or no explosion.
 Sales Order (SET)
This processing type is used to describe variant products that comprise salable configurable materials. These products are supplied together, but are not assembled in a production order. Only sales-relevant BOM items are exploded in the sales order.
Order BOM.
You use this processing type if you want to make customer-specific changes to the BOM of a material that you configure in the sales order. In the sales order, you assign values to the characteristics of the header material, but the BOM is not exploded in the sales order.
6 Material Variant and Planning Material
6.1 Material Variant
 Material Variant is an material that can arises from individual Configuration of a configurable product and can be kept in stock
 For variants that are required frequently, we can create material variants, which can be produced without a sales order and kept in stock. When a sales order is received, it is possible to check whether the variant required is in stock, so that it can deliver immediately.
 For material variants, a separate material master record is created with a material type that is kept in stock.
 Separate BOM and routing for a material variant, or you can link the material variant to the BOM and routing of the configurable material. The correct BOM items and operations are determined from the characteristic values assigned to the variant.
6.2 Planning Material
 Planning Material is a material, which contains all the non-variant parts.
 By using planning material all non-variants are procured / produced before sales order.
 It is also possible for Planing the Planning Materials without reference to any sales requirement.
 Planning material is planned separately using strategy 65 and produced before sales order creation.
7 Planing in VC
The following strategies are used for planning configurable materials and its variant parts.
Make to Order production of Variants
Make to Order for Material Variant. - 26
Planning Variants without final Assembly- 55
Planning Variants with planning Material - 65
Make to order with configurable material.- 25
Characteristic Planning with dependent requirement - 56 and
Assembly Processing with Characteristic Planning - 89

9 Variant Pricing and Surcharges
9.1 Sales BOM
A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components that together create a product. A BOM for a bicycle, for example, consists of all the parts that make up the bicycle: the frame, the saddle, wheels, and so on.
When you enter the material number of a bill of materials that is relevant for sales order processing, the system displays the material that describes the whole bill of materials as a main item. The individual components are displayed as lower-level items.
There are two ways to process a bill of materials in Sales. Once you have entered a bill of material in a sales order, the system runs pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at: Main item level if the material is assembled, or - Component level if the material is not assembled.
9.2 Processing at Main Item Level (ERLA)
If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at main item level, enter ERLA in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. This means that the components only function as text items and are not relevant for delivery.
9.3 Processing at Component Level (LUMF)
 If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at the component level, enter LUMF in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. In this case, only the components are relevant for delivery. During processing the system automatically creates a delivery group. The latest delivery date among all the components becomes the delivery date for the entire delivery group.

10.1.4 Creating Class:
Purpose:
 A class is used to hold the characteristics that describe a configurable material. By linking the class to the configurable material, you allow the material to be configured using the characteristics of the class.
Procedure
SAP Menu Logistic->Central function->Environment->classification->Class
Transaction Code CL01
 Class holds all characteristics describe configurable material.
 Class with class type 300 is used in configuration profile.
 On basic Data screen class description, its status is entered. Status determines:
 whether a class can be maintained
 whether objects can be allocated to a class
 whether the class can be used for selecting objects
 Class group is used to group together related classes and also for finding classes quickly via a matchcode.
 Same Classification indicator determines whether system check for identical characteristic values. In this case, where several objects are assigned that have the same values for all characteristics to the same class. Depends upon indicator system give warning or error message or no message.
 Keyword string is used for finding a class via matchcode.The description entered on the basic data screen serves as the first keyword
 On characteristic screen list characteristic which has to attach with configurable material is entered.
 Using document tab screen it is possible to assign documents related to configurable object.
 On additional data screen whether or not this class can be used as a class component in bills of material. If it is yes then Unit of measure in which stocks of the material are managed. The system converts all the quantities you enter in other units of measure (alternative units of measure) to the base unit of measure and resulting item category which will replace this class item in BOM (i.e. Stock, Non-stock item etc).
10.1.5 Creating Dependency
Purpose
 Dependency describes the interdependencies between characteristics and characteristic values and it controls which components to be selected from a bill of material (BOM) and which operations to be selected from a task list. It also changes the field values in BOM items and operations during configuration.
Procedure
SAP Menu Logistic->Central function->Variant Configuration->dependency->Single Dependency->Create Dependency
Transaction Code CU01
 From the variant configuration menu, choose Dependency -> Single dependency-> Create
 In initial screen name of the dependency is entered. If dependency need to create for a specific date, enter a change number. It is also possible to create dependency by copying from existing dependency.
 On basic data screen the following data are required to enter
- A language-dependent description for the dependency
- Also possible to enter descriptions in different languages by choosing Descriptions.
- Long texts for the dependency, choose Extras -> Documentation.
- In the standard R/3 System, the status In preparation when a dependency is created first time. The status is set to Released when the source code is syntactically correct.
- Finally suitable dependency type is selected.
 In Dependency editor the source code for the dependency is entered. Once the source code is syntactically correct, the source code is saved.
 Now the status of the dependency is turns to Released. Save the Dependency and exit.
10.1.6 Changing Bill of Material (Assign Dependencies)
Purpose:
By assigning dependencies to BOM components, it is possible to restrict the selection of irrelevant variant parts.i.e correct BOM components are get selected at result of configuration. It is also possible to change the component quantity depends upon characteristic value changed.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics  Production  Master Data  Bills of Material  Bill of Material  Material BOM  Change

 It also possible to enter dependency directly in BOM itself by choosing Extras -> Dependency -> dependency editor.
10.1.7 Creating Configuration Profile
Purpose
 Configuration profile used for assigning configurable material with variant class (300) and also used to maintain some central settings.
 It is possible to assign more than one configurable profile for one KMAT material.
 The selection of profile depends upon either by priority or by manual selection.
 It is also possible to assign dependencies to configurable profile.
 Class with type 300, which hold the entire characteristics of KMAT material, are assigned to each profile
Procedure:
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics  Production  Master Data  Material Master  Environment  Configuration Profile  Create
Transaction Code CU41
 From the Variant Configuration menu, choose Configuration profile->Create.
 A dialog box will be displayed. The object name is entered. Confirm your entries.
 On profile overview screen the following data need to be entered.
 Profile name and the class type of classes used for configuration. In Customizing for the Classification System, the class type must be defined as a variant class type.
 Choose Goto -> Class assignments or the Class assignment pushbutton to assign the object to a class.
 In the classification screen, names of the classes are entered.
 It is possible to restrict allowed characteristic values for the configurable object if required.
 Release of profile is possible only if configurable object is assigned to a class. To go to the detail screen, where you define further settings, choose the Profile detail pushbutton or double-click on the profile.
10.1.7.1 Optional Settings on the Profile Overview
 Organizational Areas
You can specify organizational areas for configuration. If you restrict a profile to specific organizational areas, you only see the characteristics that are relevant to your area when you configure the object.
You can change how characteristics are displayed according to organizational area for your user on the value assignment screen.
 Priority of Configuration Profiles
You can create several configuration profiles for a configurable material. The profile with the lowest number has the highest priority.
If you define several profiles for an object, you see a dialog box for selecting a profile when you start configuration. The profile with the highest priority is at the top of the list.
The priority is also relevant if you use Application Link Enabling (ALE) or intermediate documents (IDocs) to run configuration, rather than dialog mode. In this case, the profile with the highest priority is selected for the object. Profiles that have no priority are at the top of the list, because they automatically have priority 0.
10.1.7.2 Profile Detail
 Configuration Profiles for Materials
The configuration profile has several screens. Depending on what you enter for the BOM explosion and configuration process, fields are shown or hidden.
The parameters you maintain for a material apply to the material as a header material in a BOM structure. You cannot define separate settings for use of a configurable material as an assembly in a BOM.
- By choosing the Assignments pushbutton, you can assign dependencies to the configuration profile. You also see this pushbutton on the basic data tab, once at least one dependency is assigned.
 Basic Data Tab
- In the basic data, click on the profile overview data.
- If configuration process need to starts with a Start logo, documents are assigned such, as a graphic showing the product you want to configure, to the variant class.
- Configuration Initial Screen Tab
 Configuration parameters
- The parameters for BOM explosion and the configuration process in the sales order are specified here.
- BOM application must be entered, if BOM explosion None is selected rather than single and multi level explosion is selected.
- By entering a level of detail for a multi-level configuration, system performance will be improved.
- It is also possible to define a filter and set the indicator for an availability check on assemblies.
10.1.8 Changing Configuration Profile: Add User Interface Settings
Purpose
Settings for the configuration editor in user interface.
- An interface design is used to group characteristics together on the value assignment screen.
- Here it also possible to define object-specific settings for functions in the configuration editor. These settings are defaults for configuration, and can be overwritten for your user in the configuration editor.
- For all configuration parameters except BOM explosion None, manually select the screens for the configuration editor and define which screen configuration starts with. The start screen must be one of the allowed screens.
- The indicator for the configuration browser independently of the other start screens can be selected, because the browser is an additional screen section.
Configuration Profiles for Objects Other than Materials
- Object-specific settings for displaying characteristics and characteristic values in the configuration editor can be defined. These settings are defaults for configuration, and can be overwritten for your user in the configuration editor.
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics  Production  Master Data  Material Master  Environment  Configuration Profile  Change
Transaction Code CU42
10.1.9 Configuration Simulation
Purpose:
 Configuration simulation is used to check the configuration model. In the configuration simulation, the whether or not Object structure is created correctly and dependencies are working fine is checked.
 Simulation of Sales/Engineering
- The configuration parameters in the configuration profile apply. Whether the configuration is simulated from the sales point of view or the engineering point of view is defined.
- If select Sales & distribution is selected the configuration in a sales document will be simulated (sales order or quotation), so the BOM explosion depends on the settings in the configuration profile.
- If Engineering is selected, the configuration in order BOM processing will be simulated. The configuration and BOM explosion depend on the configuration parameters in the same way as when maintaining an order BOM. For example, we cannot configure the header material, because the configuration is copied from the sales order.
 Simulation of a Planned Order
- On the characteristic value assignment screen, we can choose Planned order to display the components that are determined in material requirements planning (MRP) according to the characteristic values assigned. This is especially relevant to assemblies whose BOMs are exploded in MRP, not in Sales & distribution (for example, assemblies with the BOM explosion setting None in their configuration profile).
Procedure:
SAP R/3 menu Logistics  Production  Master Data  Bills of Material  Environment  Variant Configuration  Environment  Configuration Simulation
Transaction Code CU50
 On the initial screen of the configuration simulation, select BOM to display the entire structure on the result screen.
 If you have created more than one configuration profile for a material, you see a dialog box. Select a profile and choose Continue. If you want to call detailed information on the profile, choose Profile Detail or double-click on the profile.
 To display the task list of an assembly on the result screen, select the assembly and choose View  Objects  Task list.
 You see the operations or activities in the task list that was selected for the assembly during configuration.
 Operations that have been changed by dependencies have an information icon next to them. You can display changes by choosing Information.
 To return to the BOM explosion, choose View  Objects  BOM
10.2 Sales and Distribution
10.2.1 Creating Condition Records - VA00
Purpose:
The purpose of this activity is to create condition records for VA00.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics  Sales and Distribution  Master Data  Conditions  Select Using Condition Type  Create
Transaction Code VK11
 Create price for each value of the characteristics by select using condition type VA00.
 Create the Price for the condition type that represents these types of the standard-delivered condition type for this functionality is VA00.
 Condition type VA00 requires as key fields the sales Organization, distribution channel, and material number of the configurable.
 Condition type PR00 used to maintain base price of the configurable material.
 Using VA01it is also possible to maintain Surcharges and discounts.
10.2.2 Condition records for Variant Price and Surcharges
Purpose
Condition records allow you to store and retrieve pricing data in the system. All the pricing elements of your daily business - the prices, discounts, and surcharges for freight and taxes - that you want to use for automatic pricing must be stored in the system as condition records. You can define as many condition records as you want for the different pricing elements for any validity period.
You create condition records for all the pricing elements that the system takes into account during automatic pricing. During document processing, the system transfers data from the condition records and determines the amounts for individual pricing elements (prices, discounts and surcharges) and the final amount for the sales document
Procedure
10.2.2.1 Create a characteristic for the Pricing
- Create Pricing characteristic like CAR_Pricing and go to additional data tab give SDCOM table name VKOND field name.
SAP Menu Logistic->Centralfunction->Environment->classification->Chracteristics
Transaction Code CT04
10.2.2.2 Assign the characteristic to the class
Assign given characteristics to class, In variant configuration, a class is used to hold the characteristics that describe a configurable material. By linking the class to the configurable material, it allows the material to be configured using the characteristics of the class. In the standard R/3 System, the class type for configurable material is 300.
SAP Menu Logistic->Central function->Environment->classification->Class
Transaction Code CL01
10.2.2.3 Create a dependency that triggers the price
A Dependency is a rule that defines how the different options and option values, represented by characteristics and characteristic values, relate to one another. To create a dependency, follow the menu path
SAP Menu Logistic->Central_function->VariantConfiguration->dependency->Single Dependency->Create Dependency
Transaction Code CU01
10.2.2.4 Assign the dependency to the characteristic value that triggers the price
For example eCar2002, the value V8 refers to the engine selected by the customer. Therefore, the dependency must be linked to the value V8 of the characteristic that represents the engine type. To do this, go to the master data record of the characteristic CAR_ENGINE
SAP Menu Logistic->Centralfunction->Environment->classification->Chracteristics
Transaction Code CT04
Go to the Values tab. From there, select theV8 entry and use the menu path Extras Object dependencies Assignments, which brings you to the screenshot to the right; if you have created a global dependency, you can link it to the characteristic value.2 Once the dependency has been assigned, the information on this screen, such as the description (Engine price), will default to the information entered when you created the characteristic.
10.2.2.5 Create variant price
Create price for each value of the characteristics using condition type (or transaction VK11). Create the Price for the condition type that represents these types of the standard-delivered condition type for this functionality is VA00. Condition type VA00 requires as key fields the sales Organization, distribution channel, and material number of the configurable.
In the same way using condition type VA01 is also used to maintain prices for surcharges and discounts.
10.2.2.6 Creating the output condition records for sales
Output types are used to represent various forms of output in the SAP system. Examples of output types in Sales and Distribution processing are order confirmations, freight lists, and invoices. You use the output type to control how the output should be transmitted, for example whether an order confirmation should be sent via EDI, or be printed
10.2.3 Creating Output Condition Records: Sales
Purpose:
Output types are used to represent various forms of output in the SAP system. Examples of output types in Sales and Distribution processing are order confirmations, freight lists, and invoices. You use the output type to control how the output should be transmitted, for example whether an order confirmation should be sent via EDI, or be printed
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP Menu Logistics  Sales and Distribution  Master Data  Output  Sales Document  Create
Transaction Code VV11
 Choose Edit >Key combination
 Select the key combination for which condition records are to be created.

 Save the condition records.
10.2.4 Order BOM
Purpose:
Products that are made to order in plant engineering and construction and mechanical engineering are generally very complex and are specific to one customer. For this reason, you cannot define a BOM entirely in advance. Once you have created your sales order, you need to make manual changes to the BOM by creating an order BOM especially for the sales order, without changing the original BOM.
The sales order, sales order item, and material number identify an order BOM. In variant configuration, you can work with 2 types of order BOM. The difference is in the way they are saved.
Knowledge based order BOM
The order BOM is saved as a copy of the super BOM with manual changes and dependencies.
Result Oriented BOM
The configuration result is saved as an order BOM, with manual changes but without dependencies.
Procedure (For knowledge based BOM)
SAP Menu Logistics  Production Planning  Master Data  Bills of Material -> Order BOM Maintain (Multi-Level)

SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU

hi,
I have some questions for all of you.
1. Oracle uses cgi (even asp!!! I've seen an asp page somewhere on an Oracle's site but this moment I don't remember where perhaps it is asp->cgi). Why ?
Oracle doesn't support their techologies
(Pl/SQL, Jsevlets,XML) ?
2. Oracle says that has just released a
new product for mobiles called "Portal2Go".
I tried to install this product on NT with OAS 4.8.1.
I had many problems during the installation and after many tries finally I did it(thanks God). but the problems continue...
many Jsp errors (from the "tested" supplied apps). My question is:
a. This product is in an early stage (many installation errors.. just a baby) and I think is stable for Sun Solaris but not on NT.
b. You Oracle "experts" (i.e. oracle staff, NOT YOU guys) tell me ONE advantage to use you product (I'm an oracle developer for 6 years now):
You say that I can PORT my existing app in any device and Web (through XML). This is a joke. Mobiles,PalmPCs,Web etc. have different requirements (content,display etc).The scope is different.. so this is absolutely FALSE (to use a boolean).
This release is user unfrienlty. Why.. tell me WHY to pay for a product and for extra hardware (read the product technical reqs!!) to do the SAME THINK
I do NOW with existing sources.
I've developed an app for my company's employees using existing version of DB (8.0.5),pure pl/sql and a WAP GATEWAY.NOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE.
please answer. Any comment welcomed...
maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm not.
PS.WHERE THE WAP GATEWAY/SERVER IS. I searced the cd and..nothing :-) ?
thanks

Portal-to-Go is a wireless portal server, the first version was released November 1999.
The problems you describe that mobiles, Palm devices, etc all have different characteristics is one of the key reasons for Portal-to-Go. It allows any service to be displayed on any device by generating content in an appropriate format for specific devices. This way you can take into consideration the size of the screen, the display characteristics, etc.
It is 'stable' on Solaris and NT, though it is true that the installation procedure of the CD is for Solaris only. The product is not currently available on OTN, so the installer restrictions should have been explained to you when you obtained the CD.
Why Portal-to-Go? Here's three reasons:
1. Inherent problems of the User Interface for a wireless device, so we provide a way personalise the UI to improve navigation and allow commonly used parameters to be saved as stored preferences through the portal.
2. Differences in the characteristics between wireless devices make it hard to support all type without re-creating content and applications for each specific case. With Portal-to-Go, the same service can be accessed from any device.
3. Lack of content available for WAP and other wireless devices. We have tools to quickly create wireless services from existing Web sites as well as an application platform for creating new Java or database applications for wireless devices.
You are correct that the product does not have a WAP gateway.
I'm not sure where you are located, but feel free to contact me offline. I can answer any specific questions, or get you contact with a local Oracle representative.
At the moment, if anyone wants to obtain a copy of Portal-to-Go, you should contact your local Oracle representatives.
