Do make-to-order REM need activity backflush?

Dear Gurus:
        It is impossible to perform activity backflushing for make-to-order cases in T-Code MFBF, I do not understand the reason , what is the main concern?  Or there is especial t-code for it.
        Can anyone guide me out, thanks.

  • Repetative Manufacturing - Activity Backflush

    Hi All,
    I am doing MFBF I need to have a constant 1 in Qty to confirm and Planned to confirm cells , However the qty of the Backflush can be changed to anything.
    Please guide me for the releated settings for the same.
    Matter is Uregent.

    Dear Joshi,
    You can make the default settings as activity backflush and the plant,but you can not make the
    quantity also a default one in MFBF screen.
    Say selecvt the radio button for activity backflush and also the plant and click on initial screen icon in
    the top,come out and whenever you enter MFBF screen you will be seeing the radio button selected for
    activity backflush.
    But you can try to create a transaction variant and use that in MFBF,if you dont wish to enter the
    quantities every time,but I would suggest to use only initial screen icon option.
    Check and revert back.

    Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck  is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded. 
    You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FvZ-JduRM
    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
    I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

  • I need to make the ordered quantity field (RV45A-KWMENG) disabled in 'VA02'

    Hi SAP COMMUNITY,
    I have urgent requirement for which i did'nt worked before on this requirement. I hope you people can help me in this regerd.
    My requirement is, I need to make the ordered quantity field (RV45A-KWMENG) disabled in the transaction code is VA01/VA02. User should not be able to edit this ordered quantity in VA01/VA02 Transaction.
    Here the condition to disable this field ordered quantity is IF ORDER TYPE EQUAL TO OR AND IF ITEM CATEGORY EQUAL TO TANN in technical IF VBAK-AUART EQ OR AND IF VBAP-PSTYV EQ TANN then only the field (RV45A-KWMENG) ordered quantity should be disabled in that transaction VA01/VA02.
    Correct me if iam wrong, I think in the program SAPMV45A and do we need to include any screen number which i have seen in VA02 is 4001. Do we need to write a code in Include MV45AFZZ (FORM USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION.). But i don't know what code i need to write here to disable this field.
    I had searched in the forum some example code so please suggest me whether i can use this and if i can use this please suggest me how to write the condition and insert the code in that FORM. If this sample code is wrong then please suggest me what exact code should be given. Can anyone help. Quick response will be much appreciated.
    Looking forward for ur prompt replies.

    As per my understanding , To disable the field RV45A-KWMENG based on the condition for Transaction VA01/VA02.
    The conditions which i need to check is Order Type and item category.
    I understand that this is the code which i need to insert for disabling the field but i have a question here, where is the condition here and how the system understand for this field RV45A-KWMENG it has to disable. I think we need give the condition as if RV45A-KWMENG....... Another one if iam not wrong we need check that it has to be done in VA01 and VA02 then only this condition should be executed.
    IF VBAK-AUART EQ 'XXX' OR VBAP-PSTYV EQ TANN .
    IF SCREEN-NAME = 'XXX'.
    SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    Please suggest me the better way how can i do it in the coding.
    Awaiting for ur prompt reply.

Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

    It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

  • REM Activity Backflush

    Hi All,
        In repetetive manufacturing scenario when do the backflush for materials and activities I can see the material GI/GR through the movement type I have defined in REM profile where can I see what all re the activities that are backflushed.
    Thanks and Regards
    Ramana

    Hi
    You can see the Activity posted for the production Version in Table AFRU by picking the RUECK and RMZHL for the corrsponding version of material for which you have posted Activities.or you can see assembly bacflush and activity backflush in t code KRMI for the date and material
    Hope It will Help you

  • Activity backflushing in REM

    Hi,
    We follow repetitive manufacturing for FERT materials with Prod version, Rate routing and Product cost Collector. In our REM profile for posting activities we have assigned the option 'Using data from prem. costing for prod. cost collector'. We are saving the preliminary cost estimate for prod cost collector periodically(including the activity cost). In this case while doing assembly backflushing for the FERT material the activities are not posted as per the values defined in the rate routing. Please let me know the reason for the same.
    Regards,
    Ravi Kumar C.

    Dear Ravi Kumar,
    I'm not meaning about cost calculation,What I mean to say is if there's any change in BOM
    component's are quantities or rate routing operation details the first step you have to do is in KKF6N-->
    for that material,plant,production version goto change mode and click on costing button and save the
    datas,so that the latest changes are taken up for the preliminary costing.
    Because based on this only your confirmation either assembly or component or activity backflush is
    carried out.
    So again in activity backflushing you have 2 options for the radio button selection,
    1. No planned activities from routing
    2.Fetch Planned activities from routing(this picks the data from your routing)
    The options No planned activities from routing and Fetch planned activities from routing provide you with
    three different ways of entering activity consumption or activity scrap.
    1.  Fetch from the routing without planned activities.
    2.  Fetch the planned activities from the routing with specification of a reference quantity.
    3.  Fetch the planned activities from the routing without specification of a reference quantity.
    If you select the option No planned activities from routing, you can use the "Process activities" option to
    manually enter excess consumption or component scrap.
    So check and revert back if there is any more queries.

  • Make to Order Repetitve Manufacturing Restrictions

    Dear All,
    Does anybody know that the reasons behind the restrictions of Make to Order Repetitive Mfg in SAP?
    Restrictions like :
                  1- Impossibility of reporting point backflushing despite of MTS Rep Mfg
                  2- Impossibility of component/activity backflushing despite of MTS Rep Mfg
    I am working as a PP consultant in a SAP implementation project for a car manufacturer and we choose the MTO Rep Mfg as our manufacturing scenario, but we need to track the production.
    Is there any suggestion for handling these restrictions in MTO Rep Mfg?
    Your support is greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    Rouhollah

    Hi Rajesha,
    Thank you for your reply,
    The car manufacturer, that we are implementing SAP for it, produces the vehicles with make to order strategy,
    and according to the nature of its production, we decide to use MTO repetitive manufacturing and configurable material for their sap architecture, but there are some limitation in MTO Rep Mfg.
    For example:
            It is needed to track the vehicle from start to end of production,and the standard way of satisfying this requirement is using of reporting point backflushing, but this feature is not supported in MTO Rep Mfg despite of MTS Rep Mfg (that supports the reporting point backflushing). How we can handle this requirement without using the reporting point? and I'd like to know the reason behind this limitation.
    Do you have any idea about this problem?
    Thanks,
    Rouhollah

  • Make to order automatic generation of schedule lines

    I am now designing Make to order (MTO) strategy for repetative manufacturing.
    Requirement generates through sales order (Requirement type - KE)
    While doing backflushing (Tr. Code- MFBF) I am selecting Make to order tab and putting sales order no,will call planned orders (were generated while MRP run- Tran. code-MD50) and will confirm if sufficent sales order stock is available.
    Every time I ahve to move from regualr stock to sales order stock by 412 movement.
    Is there any link which will enables the shortfall of sales order stock will generate the schedule line enable to procure the material?
    I have found one solution- will have to create Purchase order item having account assignment- M. and have to maintain the source and quota. It genertaes schedule line. But on daily basis I am generatin sales order and there are thousands of items to be procured. Practically it very difficult to creates new po or add new item in purchase order by putting assignment M

    Hello,
    Planning of child items in MTO senario can be handled by using appropriat planning stategy.
    Or
    There is another way of using individual and collective indicator
    field on the MRP 4 view.
    Here following are possible entries.
    blank ---
    1 -
    Individual requirement only
    2 -
    collective requirement
    Here if you give indicator as 2 , then for many sales orders the component requirement will get clubbed.
    For example you have five sales orders for a parent material of qty 100 each, and in BOM you have specified the required quantity as 1 for the child material.
    Then you will get a dependent requirement of 500 for the component.
    Now , you have to decide whether you want five individualdependent  requiremants  of 100 quantity each for components or you want collective dependent requirement of
    500 quantity for component.
    Hope the above explanation is clear.
    Reward if useful.
    Please revert back if you need any input on component  planning strategies.

  • Belated costs during a make-to-order/sales order controlling process

    Hello Experts,
    We implemented a make-to-order process where we collect actual costs of a repackaging process. The cost object of that process order is the sales order item (VBP, Vertriebsbelegposition). So far that cost collection works absolutely fine and the actual costs are collected in the conditions of the sales order item.
    Unfortunately it can be the case that after billing the sales order item, operations debits the process order with an activity (e.g. quality analysis). After using transaction KO88 the balance of the process order is posted to the sales order item even if it has been already billed. But when I open the sales order with TA VA02 the conditions of these sales order item are already grey and not editable anymore. And therefore it is not possible to actualize the price and the extra costs of the belated positing of operations.
    Do you know any possibilty to creat a second bill of the same sales order item to collect the additional costs?
    BR
    Mike

    Hi,
    Finance person would need to create a JV to knock off those costs. The same wont be possible through SD route again.

  • New internal order type--need help

    Dear all:
    i have a case need help.
    now i want to create a new internal order type ,and assign a new number range and a default settlement rule to it .
    the settlement rule is that the actual costs of this  internal order type need to be
    sent to a cost element .
    what should i do step by step?
    thanks!
    best regards!

    Hi,
    2. Order Master Data
    2.1 Define Order types (KOT2_OPA)
    IMG Controlling  Internal Orders Order Master Data  Define Order Types
    An Internal order is created under an Order type. An order type is used for storing various control parameters and various defaults while creating an internal order. It is used for classifying various types of internal orders according to usage for e.g. Real orders for trade fairs, real orders for Capital investment measure, Statistical orders for motor vehicle expenses.
    The order type is client-specific, which means that every order type can be used in all controlling areas. A number range is assigned to the internal order type.
    Click on “New Entries”
    Take a drop in the field Order category and select 01
    Enter
    Update the following
    Give Order Type :- Z810
    Description :- Traders First Real order type
    Object Class :- OCOST overhead
    Reference Order :- Collective order without automatic goods movement
    Residence time 1 :- 12 months
    Residence time 2 :- 1 month
    Check “Commit Management and Check Integrated Planning
    Activate CO Partner Updating -You activate this so that allocations between orders and other CO objects (cost centers, projects, etc.), the partner information is retained and whether for each order a totals record should be written.
    Save
    Click on “Field Selection”
    Here you can hide the various fields or make it as required entry or only display or available for input. Thus while creating internal order only those fields are displayed and available for input.
    Click Save
    2.2 Maintain Number Ranges for Orders (KONK)
    IMG Controlling  Internal Orders  Order Master Data Maintain Number Ranges for Orders
    Number Range needs to be assigned to the internal order type. Number range can be internal or external. In Internal numbering system automatically assigns a number from the given number range. In external numbering the user has to manually assign the number from the given number range.
    We will configure internal number range for our internal order type – Trade Fair
    Click on Group Maintain (From the menu bar)
    Click on Group  Insert (From the menu bar)
    Update the following
    From Number: - 910000000000
    To Number: - 919999999999
    Click in “plus icon” at the left bottom of the screen
    Click Save
    You will find internal order type Z810 in not assigned
    You need to assign the order type to the group we created above. Proceed as follows:-
    Position the cursor on: - Z810 Trade Fair real order type 
    Click on “Arrow”   Z810 Trade Fair real order type note it turns blue                                              
    Select Check mark Z810 A ltd India fair real order
    Click “Element Group”
    The internal order type Z910 moves under the group which can be seen as follows:-
    Z810: A Ltd India Trade fair real order / Z810 Trader Fair real order type.
    Click Save
    Select: - Z810: A Ltd India Trade fair real order / Z810 Trader Fair real order type.
    Click on “Pencil” icon.
    Click Back arrow.
    2.3 Define Model Orders
    IMG Controlling Internal Orders Order Master Data Screen Layout
    Define Model Orders
    Model orders are not orders in the commercial sense, but serve merely as references for creating "normal" orders. Model orders contain default values for the orders in an order type. The Model order is assigned as the reference order in the order type.
    When you create a new order, all the fields active in the relevant order type are copied from the model order to the new order.
    Example
    You want to settle all your marketing orders to the same sales cost center. Stipulate the cost center as the default value in the model order for marketing orders.
    When you create a new marketing order, the system defaults this cost center. If you want to settle the order to a different cost center, you can overwrite the default cost center in the orders.
    We will create a model order with some defaults and assign it to the Trade fair internal order type
    Click “Create CO Model Order”
    Press F4 and select ($$) 03 model order
    Click on the master data and update the following
    Order: - $$$ Z81000001
    Description text: - A Limited Trade affair
    Click Save
    Assign this model order to the order type Z810
    Update the reference order with the model order number $$$Z81000001 in the reference order field
    Click on save.

  • MAKE TO ORDER AND VARAINT CONFIGURATION

    Hi firends,
    What is the difference between MAKE TO ORDER and  VARAINT CONFIGURATION   PROCESS, in which scenarios we are using both topics. Can any one explain about steps for make to order and variant configuration. i need complete process.

    PLS REFER LIN BELOW
    Make-to-Order (MTO)
    Purpose
    The planning strategies explained in this section are designed for the production of a material for a specific individual sales order. In other words, you do not want to produce finished products until you receive a sales order. This means that make-to-order strategies always support a very close customer-vendor relationship, because your sales orders are closely linked to production.
    The same relationship exists between the sales order and production that exists in a make-to-order environment. Make-to-order is also used in the following environments.
    Production using variant configuration
    Assemble-to-order
    Prerequisites
    Choose a make-to-order strategy, if:
    The materials are segregated. In other words, they are uniquely assigned to specific sales orders.
    Costs must be tracked at sales order level and not on material level.
    Make-to-order strategies should always be combined with lot-size key EX (lot-for-lot. Rounding values should not be used. If you maintain rounding values, they have no effect due to the make-to-order properties of these strategies.
    Process Flow
    There are extensive options that enable you to procure components especially for specific sales order items.
    You may, however, want to use a different planning strategy to procure components without sales orders. This allows you to keep your replenishment lead time to a minimum. You can do this by:
    Planning on the basis of the finished product (see Planning Without Final Assembly (50) or Planning with a Planning Material (60))
    Planning at component level (see Strategies for Planning Components)
    Using consumption-based or Kanban-controlled components
    Customer stock can exist on any BOM level. See Stockkeeping at Different BOM Levels for more information.
    Because production is closely linked to sales orders, this results in a customer section in the stock/requirements list.
    Unplanned goods receipts (such as returns) cannot, as a rule, be used for other sales orders, even if they are in working order, unless they are adapted to meet a customer's needs.
    In the basic make-to-order strategy, Make-to-Order Production (20), no specific product structures are required. This means that it does not matter if the material has a BOM or not. The material can be produced in-house, or it can be procured externally. No planning is involved in this strategy.
    Planning Without Final Assembly (50) and Planning with a Planning Material (60) do require a specific product structure (i.e. a BOM, which means materials are always produced in-house). These planning strategies assume that you want to plan procurement (production or purchasing) of your components by planning the finished products. This means that you need to have a fairly stable demand for your finished products. If, however, you can plan more easily at component level than at finished product level, see Strategies for Planning Components.
    Make to order production
    1. Make to order production means that the materials (finished products) are not stored in the warehouse but produced especially for a particular sales order or a sales order item. An individual customer requirement is generated from the sales order item and transferred to materials planning (MM/PP). You can use materials planning to plan requirements. Once this has been done, production is carried out. After the product has been manufactured, you post it by goods receipt to sales orders stock specifically for this sales order item. As soon as the delivery is due, you can enter the delivery in SD and post goods issue which reduces the sales order stock and then a billing document can be entered.
    2. The item category in the sales document is found using the sale document type and the item category group from the material master found on the tab page sales org 2 i.e.
    a. sales document type – OR
    b. item category group – 0001
    c. item category - TAK
    3. MTO without assembly processing – the requirement quantity (planned independent requirements), delivery date and configuration specifications are transferred from the sales order to materials planning as an individual customer requirement. A planned order is generated using a planning run where the bills of material are exploded and dependant requirements (i.e. multi-level BOM) for the assemblies and components are generated. As soon as the production starts, a production order is created from the planned order. The system returns the confirmed quantity and delivery date from the production order to the sales order.
    4. MTO with assembly processing – in this case the individual components for the final product have already been produced. You only need to assemble the components according to the customer’s wishes. In this process, you only need a one level BOM and generation of dependent requirements is not necessary. In this case no planning run is generated and a production order is created directly from the sales order. The system returns the confirmed quantity and the delivery date from the production order to the schedule lines in the sales order. Any changes made to the confirmed schedule lines or the delivery date is immediately visible in the sales order and/or in the production order.
    5. After production department has finished making the material, goods receipt is posted in the sales order stock i.e. special stock which can only be used for a specific sales order. After posting goods issue for outbound delivery, the sales order stock is reduced accordingly.
    6. Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.
    7. You can use make-to-order production: (a) For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured (b) When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order.
    8. Stock keeping is not usually carried out for products that are made to order. In companies using make-to-order production, the demand program only determines the production area, in which various variant types are produced. Depending on how you track the costs associated with make-to-order production, there are two ways to process make-to-order items during sales order processing.
    (a) Make to order using sales order
    (b) Make to order using project system (not relevant for SD application)
    9. for make to order production using the sales order, all costs and revenues involved for an order item are held collectively at that item. A particular rule is used that can be changed manually to transfer costs to profitability analysis.
    10. make to order production is largely a production planning configuration. It is also controlled by the requirements type, which is determined by three things
    the strategy group (MRP 3) in MMR
    the MRP group (MRP1) in MMR
    the item category and MRP type (MRP 1)
    11. Make-to-order production is controlled by the requirements type. The requirements type is determined on the basis of the MRP group (MRP1) and the strategy group (MRP3) in the material master record. In addition, a plant must be assigned for make-to-order items in the sales order.
    VARIENT 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.
    1 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 these two methods 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
    8 Variant Configuration: (Object Diagram)
    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.

    · You must maintain the basic data for all characteristics. All other screens are optional.
    · In the formatting data for value assignment, whether a characteristic is single-value, multiple-value, or retractable is defined. It is not possible change the value assignment indicator once it has set. It applies wherever the characteristic is used.
    · The data type of the characteristic determines which values can be entered for the characteristic. I can any one of the following
    - Characters
    - Numeric
    - Time format/Date format
    - Currency format and
    - User defined data type.
    · For numeric characteristic it need to maintain that whether interval values to a numeric characteristic, or only individual values need to be maintain in Basic Data screen itself.
    · Languages in which characteristic want to describe are entered.
    · Choose the tab page Values.
    · Enter values in the entry fields. Enter each value in a separate field.
    · The values must match the format that you defined on the Basic Data screen. You can enter up to the number of characters that you defined in the format.
    · If your characteristic is an alphanumeric characteristic, enter a language-dependent value description. You can enter up to 30 characters.
    · It is not possible to enter a language-dependent description for numeric values
    · It is also possible to define one value as a default value. This value then appears as a default in characteristic value assignment functions
    · Additional value indicator determines that whether values that are not defined as allowed values can be assigned to a characteristic
    · The following value check strategies are available in value maintenance screen.
    - Allowed Values:

    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
    Transaction Code CS02
    · Dependencies are assigned with respect to characteristic for each variant part.
    · Dependencies are created either locally within object or globally which can be assigned to any objects.
    · In BOM General Item overview screen choose the component in which dependency need to assign and choose menu path Extras -> Dependency -> assignment of dependency for assignment.
    · 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

    10.2.1 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 the“V8” 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:

    · For transmission medium 1 (Print output) or 7, you can maintain the communication data. To do this, choose Communication.
    · 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)Transaction Code CU51
    · The Create Order BOM: initial screen appears.
    · Enter the sales order number, the order item, the material number and the BOM usage
    · If you want to use 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
    · Click on copy order BOM or Click on copy material BOM
    · The Copy material BOM or Copy order BOM dialog box appears
    · Enter the data required and click . The item overview appears, for the bill of material you are using as a reference.
    · Enter new items and alter items if necessary. Entering items in order BOMs is similar to entering items in material BOMs. However, you
    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 – Zbike class (Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
    Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie 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.

  • Re : make-to-order

    Hi
          In make-to-order scenario after doing CO15 the sales order stock for raw material is not removed in MMBE. But finished product is updated in sales order. In CO15 what are the movement type i have to use.
    How to solve this.
    Thanks
    Mani

    HI
    just goto MB1A and do 261 movemtn agaisnt the order.
    then the components will reduce from MMBE.
    or in future if you want the components need to get auto goods issue then assgin the components for the operation in order or routing then use backflush indicater to get the componets to confirmation screen,
    then you can do auto ggods issue from co15 also
