Full Variant Configuration

Hi Friends,
Require Full Variant Configuration(Super Bom Config) process step by step.
Thanks and Regards,
PS

Hi,
     Please find the steps below-
a.. Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
b.. Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of
the bile like Red, Blue etc
c.. 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)
d.. Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300)
in characteristics tab page.
e.. Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the
description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.
f.. 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
g.. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign
relationship ( by default it will come just save)
h.. Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure
enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
i.. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign
relationship ( by default it will come just save)
j.. 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.
Variant Configuration (LO-VC)
Above steps are standard VC steps for ETO Variant configuration and to have a super BOM you only need to create a Material BOM(CS01) with all the Raw materials as components with item category K and proceed accordingly.

  • BAPI to create variant configuration T-Code CU41

    Hi,
    I am looking for standard BAPI to create variant configuration T-Code CU41.
    Please let me know if anybody come across the same.
    Thanks,
    Bala Raja

    Hey,
    There are no full proof BAPIs delivered by SAP to create work orders.
    You might want to explore BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN but this BAPI has several limitations. Read the documentation of the BAPI for more information.
    The best option is to record IW36 and create the suborder using CALL TRANSACTION.

  • Variant Configuration Planning Strategy

    Hello All,
    We are using Variant configuration and we want to maintain independent requirements for the dependent materials. The main material will be make to order and we want the dependent requirements from the main material to reduce the independent requirements maintained for the dependent materials. Please let what planning stratagies should i use for the main material and dependent materials. Due points will be awarded.

    I don't know if R/3 supports full fledged planning based on characteristics but I do know characteristics based planning can be done in APO. The following documents talks a little bit about planing characteristics in the end in R/3, you may want to take a look at it.

  • Production Order BOM with Variant Configurable Material

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to process the document items in the Production Order BOM for a variant configurable martial. I am not sure which Function Module will do this purpose. I checked the FM: CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 and does not seem to be working.
    Can you please help me with a suitable Function Module or program that will process the Production Order BOM? Appreciate Your Help.
    Thanks,
    Kanan
    Edited by: Kannan SA on Jul 6, 2011 8:59 PM

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

  • Stock Report for Variant configuration

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

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

  • Error message while creating configurable material for variant configuration.

    Dear All,
    I want to create configurable material for the purpose of variant configuration. When trying to create configurable material using mm 01 or mm k1, it is displaying an error message that internal number assignment is not possible for the material type configurable materials as well in using external number also. Can anyone specify the steps to be done in creating the configurable material. Thank you all.
    Regards
    Akula Sivaji Kumar Madhu Kiran

    If you want to set these material type to another group (Which has a internal number and external number range), then you can do it.
    In MMNR, Click on the Edit Group.
    Then select the material type and click select element.
    Then mark a tick option in another group and then press Element/Group.
    Then you can see the material type will come under this group.
    Now save your entry, and create a material with this material type.

  • Tolerance Limits for Class Character in Variant Configuration

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • Creation of sales order with Variant configuration info

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

As no detailed documentation is available online for this scenario, I hope this post will help community for similar requirements. J

    I have entered syntax as  : engine_cap in ('1000','1400','2000'), pls guide me with the solution to create object dependency

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