For Variant BOM & Variant configuration

Dear All,
Is there any tool to upload Variant BOM & Routing in standard SAP. Is it complete manual ?
Regards
Aniruddha

1. Since youare using class item you will hvae one more characteristics called Plastic type in the Class
2. You can maintian one variant table, in which you can maintain Plastic Type and specific Gravity
3. Now using this you can try to infer the value and using a procedure you should be able to calculate the weight for the BOM item.
Kindly let me know for feedback
Reg,

Routings for Variant BOMs

Hi,
           I've created a variant BOM for material T-F. The variants are T-FX, T-FZ, etc. Now I need to create routings for the variant BOM. Could u guide me how to create routings for these variants, Whether I've to create individual routings for all these variants, or a single routing is enough?
      awaiting for ur replies.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Jeyaraman

Hi,
     For variant configuration, you create routing in the normal procedure. But assign the object dependencies(Selection conditions) in the operation, operation sequences wherever it is needed to select a particular variant.
You can also refer for more details:

Fields for Super BOM, Work Center & Super Routing for Variant Config

hi! gurus,
Please can you give me mandatory fields & values for Super BOM, Work Center & Super Routing for Variant Config
thank you

Hi,
In the Super BOM you need to maintain the object dependencies.
Workcenter fields are as usual for other production processes.
Also you can use search option in the forum to view the threads posted in the past. There are many posts related to variant configuration.

Variant Bom

Hi All,
Please let me know about variant bom in pp. and how it will use full for pp with example.

Dear
In variant bom is nothing but the list of variants involved and with special features called Obj Dependencies
Suppose u take a ex of Car or desktop
here to manufacture car we required Tyres engine colour model of car these all nothing but variant these variants u assign as a configurable materials and we assign in one level or next level with item cat as N
so variant bom consists of list of variants with combination of configurable materials with class items and object dependencies
so its other way called super bom
Please follow the link to no u better understanding

Multiple BOM and Variant BOM

Hi Gurus
Just a small question...
Can we change the technical type of the BOM from V(Variant) to M(Multiple).
As that field is always grayed out in editing mode (CS02).
If we can change, how ??
Thanks Vineet

Dear Vineet,
If a product has more than more than one alternative BOM(more than one BOM for the same BOM
usage) for that products under the BOM header you will be able to see the technical type as M -
Multiple BOM.
You cannot change this.
variant BOM
Production Planning and Control (PP)
A combination of a number of bills of material that lets you describe a product, or several products that have a lot of identical parts.
The variant BOM describes each object completely, for example, the product "lamp." Each variant BOM contains all the components. This type of BOM is not configurable.
Procedure
The system allocates technical types:
according to the number of alternative BOMs
When you create the first alternative for a BOM, the technical type is not yet defined. If you extend the BOM by creating an alternative, the system automatically assigns the technical type multiple BOM.
according to the transaction
If you create a BOM using the Create variant of... function, the system assigns the technical type variant BOM. After this, you can no longer create alternatives for the BOM.

Difference in the Material variant BOM Qty during Standard Cost estimation

Hi SAP Experts,
We are trying to estimate the cost for the material variant, but the BOM exploded
during the cost estimation, the quantity differs slightly with the BOM exploded
during CU50.
What might be the reasons for difference.
Please give your valuable Inputs.
Thanks
Best Regards
Siva

Dear Mr.Kumar,
For any material in the material master , for Price
Control indicator in Accounting 1 View we can either
maintain S or V.
For In House Manufactured materials we maintain S
(Standard price) & for Sub contracted or bought out
items we maintain V(Moving Average price).
During cost roll up & release as far I know we cant
split like 70 & 30% and we can do the costing.
So either you have to use the moving average price for
both inhouse & bought out.
Because 1 material cant have both standard price &
Moving Average price.
Because bought out item's doesnot have standard price.
If your vendor is ready to give the material(Finished
product) using the same amount which you spend for
producing inhouse,then no issue,you can use
standard price.But Practically it doesn't occur.
I hope this will help to clear your doubt.
If useful reward points.

How to remove the Variant BOM?

Dear All,
I am currently having the variant BOM. I need to create alternative BOM for all the BOM headers.
I cannot create it till i remove the variant bom tag from the BOM headers.
Kindly let me know the procedure to remove the Variant BOM tag from the BOM header materials.
Thanks.
Aditya.

Hi,
As you have already maintained alternative BOM for materials system will not allow you to create variant BOM as already alternative BOM is present for the same.
So you need to delete all alternative BOM for required materials. Then you can create variant BOM for those materials.
You can delete BOM's on mass basis also. Use CS28 for the same.
Hope this will help you.

Ashish

Error saying 'Posting period 000 is not defined for fiscal year variant K4'

Hi All,
   When I try to add a new entry in the transaction OB52, I get an error message saying 'Posting period 000 is not defined for fiscal year variant K4'. The entry that I add is,
Variant           : 0001
Account Type: +
From Period    : 1
Year               : 1995
To Period        : 12
Year               : 2010
From Period2 : 13
Year               : 2000
To period2      : 16
Year               : 2010
Please let me know what customising needs to be done to solve this issue.
Thanks a ton.
Best Regards,
Jeff

Hi,
Hava you checked in OB52 screen, by default 0001 posting period variant will be there for +, A, D, K, S account types.
If it is already existed in your OB52 screen, you won't create one more record with the same name. You have to edit the existing 0001 posting period with new values.
Thanks

VOFM : formula for condition type variant wise

Hi All,
In Pricing condition we have two variants and the example is as follows.
ZLOL C 450.00 INR 1 EA 1,350.00 INR 1 EA 1 EA
ZLOL D 250.00 INR 1 EA 750.00 INR 1 EA 1 EA
Formula : XKWERT = xkomv-kbetr * xkomv-kumne
We have applied the above said formula in VOFM tcode and change UOM From EA to CN and CConDe field to 2 for variant C. The result is as follows.
ZLOL C 450.00 INR 1 CN 900.00 INR 1 EA 2 CN
ZLOL D 250.00 INR 1 CN 900.00 INR 1 EA 1 CN
Here the condition value result is reflecting for both the variant and not for only variant C. We want amount should differ for given quantity variant wise for the given condition.
Please guide.
Thanks !

I use SHD0 to create a variant of the transaction SM30. After saving it, I got the dialog to select the package. Z* packages are not allowed, only SAP Packages. Which is the correct package for saving the variant?
Best regards,
Alexander

I create them in SE93.
Z* Transaction code. Transaction with variant.
The transaction is SM30.
The default values are:

Is there a Function Module to read all BOM Variants

Hi,
I have a requirement to read all the BOM variants of Engineering BOM through a Function Module and pass this information to Third Party Application.
Is there any such Function module/BAPI?
Need your expert advice.

Hi ,
If you want to use 'CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2' funtion to get the BOM components, you need to give the importing parameter mtnrv( material number).
the components are stored in TABLES : stb.
I am doing this way.
but werks, date , and capid are optional .
CALL FUNCTION 'CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2'
       EXPORTING
         mtnrv                 = i_matnr
         werks                 = i_werks
         datuv                 = i_date
         capid                 = l_capid
       IMPORTING
         topmat                = ms_cstmat
       TABLES
         stb                   = lt_stpox
       EXCEPTIONS
         alt_not_found         = 1
         call_invalid          = 2
         material_not_found    = 3
         missing_authorization = 4
         no_bom_found          = 5
         no_plant_data         = 6
         no_suitable_bom_found = 7
         conversion_error      = 8.
Please give it a try.
