How to create Material variant

Dear all,
I created configurable material and assigned class and BOM and object dependencies as well as configurable profile its working fine.
I need to create material variant so i assigned configurable material to material variant in MRP 3 view then selected the characterstics as per requirement. BOM also i assigned the configurable material. But at the time planning its not planning as per requirement also i need to consume the stock as per configuration at the time of sales order delivery.
What are all steps to be followed, where i did mistake pls correct me.
Regards,
S.Suresh.

Dear Mohan,
Thanks for your response.
I am very clear in configurable material we can use only sales order. I did in my projects no issues.
But material variant i have doubt, I tried once am not able get what i suppose to get.
I read the sap help.From that what i understood we can create PIR for material variant and can make stock thorugh the order it will consume only whatever we selected from MRP 3 configurable material.
If i make sales order for configurable material if the material variant and configurable material properties are same it will pick the stock. (For that in sales order item category (mat variant action) to be set).
1. Configure the configurable material in the sales order.
       2.      On the value assignment screen, you can already check whether material variants match the material configuration (see Variant Matching on the Value Assignment Screen).
For a material to be replaced by the material variant in the sales order, the configuration of both materials must match exactly.
       3.      When you have configured the material, exit the configuration editor.
       4.      Depending on the settings in Customizing, the material is either replaced directly by the material variant, or a message is displayed indicating that a suitable material variant has been found.
       5.      If the material is replaced, the material variant is entered in the order item.
Individual or collective requirements can be created for the material variant. Pricing is also carried out for the material variant, provided that you have not defined the configurable material as a pricing reference material for the material variant.
So i have doubt on material variant only if wrong pls correct.

S.Suresh.

MMPV - Close period - How to create a variant

Hello all,
Transaction MMPV is used to close the MM period and open a new one. Currently, we run this transaction every month MANUALLY.
We would like to create a variant that will open the new period automatically every month. The only problem is the period / year that changes every month (I do not know how to create a variant with changed values - if it is at all possible).
How can we create a variant that will run every month to close the MM period ?
Thanks for your help,
Isaac

Hello Isaac
It is possible......But to make it happen you need to go with date field and not with Period and year.
Steps -
1 - Enter field FROM Comp Code and TO Comp Code
2 - Enter the date (E.g - 05-Mar-2007)
3 - Save as varient....Give the varient names as required.
4 - Activate the 4th checkbox (Selection variable) in front of date field
5 - Click on button 'Selection variable' at the top of screen.
6 - Click on YELLOW light. This will turn it GREEN. Now you have 1st light as YELLO which was previously yello.
7 - Click on the down arrow just below the yello light.
8 - Select the appropriate option and save the varient.
The day of batch job scheduling depends upon the options you selected in the 8th step.
I hope it clarifies your dought and will allow you to create the varient as per your requirement.
Best Regards
Avinash

How to create a variant in ecatt?

Hi all,
I am new to Ecatt scripting. I hav a requirement from the user, that one ecatt is used for two sales org using two variants.
I recorded as per the requirement ( first i created one basic script and called it in a master script ). Now I need to create two variants for the master script for the sales org.
So could any one suggest how to create a variant in ecatt?
Thanks in advance.
Vijayakumar.G

Hello Vijay,
After recording parameterize everything whatever you want.
In parameterization table leave the value field as empty, I mean don't give any value.
Select the following in the menu,
Utilities>Test configuration>Create
Now, test configuration name will have the same of the test script name.
Provide the details in the configuration tab. Then in the variants tab select the second radio button "Internal variants".
In the variant table you can see the default variant "ECATTDEFAULT". You can make use of this also. Otherwise you can also create your own variants by clicking "Insert variant" button.
The variables whatever you have created in the test script will be there in the table. Now, Create variant and provide values for each variables.
You can also select the variants which need to be executed.
Now you can run the test configuration. It will be running number of times according to the created number of the variants.
You can also create Test data for your test script and configuration.
Try this, I hope it will help.
Feel free to reward if it helps.

Gopi

How to create a variant in VA01

Hi Gurus,
Can you teach me how to create a variant in VA01? I'd like to have a default value in the sold to party field.
Thanks,
Paul

hi,
To show a default sold-to-party in this field when the user creates a sales order (VA01) we can use a function exit .This function exit is located in enhancement no V45A0002 . Before we can choose the exit we have to create a project in CMOD after that enter V45A0002 in the enhancement field and click on the components . In the components you will see the exit EXIT_SAPMV45A_002 . This exit is used for our purpose.
Double clicking on this exit will takes us to function builder (SE37) . This function exit has one exporting parameters and two importing parameters, we are interested in exporting parameter which is E_KUNNR of type KNA1-KUNNR i.e if we move the desired customer name to this structure(E_KUNNR) it will be shown in the field as the default value when we create the sales order. This function also contains a customer include ZXVVA04 . This include will be used to write our custom code .
Double clicking on this include and it will prompt us that this include does not exists do you want to create this object ,select yes and the include will be created .In this include we can write our own code that will fill the field E_KUNNR.
e.g. E_KUNNR = 301.
Activate the include and Activate the project. Now when ever the SALES ORDER will be created , sold-to-party field will come up with a predefined customer .

How to create process variant in process chain

What is a process variant? i try to add Infocube compression to the fi process chain. To accomplish this task, i have to create process variant. please tell me the step by step process how to create process variant and successfully add the compression to the process chain. Can i do it directly in production? Thanks to SDN community that i can count on.

Hi Rafi,
<b>Process variants</b>
The process variant is the name of the process Within the process chain context, it displays the configuration of a process of a particular type set at the time of definition. A variant is only consistently defined together with the process type. A process can have various variants. With the load process for example, the name of the InfoPackage is the name of the process variant.
The user defines the process variant at the time when the process is scheduled. With some process types, the variants are determined internally and are stored as GUIDs.
For more info:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d5/e80d3dbd82f72ce10000000a114084/content.htm
You can create process chains directly in Production. Most of the times system allows(depends on system settings). But this is not a proper way of working. Create in Development and transport it to Production.

How to create material group hierarchy ?

Hi,
I would like to know how to create material group hierarchy in ECC 6.0
Thanks in advance for your help,
Kind regards,

Hi ,
The material group hierarchy and product heirarchy is used in SD of ECC 6.0 . These can be created in Logistics General -> Material Master-> settings for Key fields--> Data Relevant to Sales and Distribution-> 1)
define product categories
2)Define material groups
But If you want to make of use of this in SRM ,I won't think it is available . I guess Probably this is avl for CRM .

How to create a variant to a maintenance view (trans: SM31)

Hi gurus.
I have created a maintenance view (called z_jest). By running it from SM31 there is a variant option. However, I am not able to create the variant which I want to filter a selection upon in this transaction.
I have even looked into transaction SE54 and created a variant for the maintenance table view there( called z_jestv). Then going back to transaction SM31 and view z_jest, i push 'Variant' radiobutton and type as variant: 'z_jestv', I only get the message: "Variant z_jestv for object z_jest does not exist".
Can anybody please advice on how to create and/or connect the variant to the maintenance view?
Regards LL.

Hi Mahalakshmi
Thanks for reply.
When I look into the procedure, there is a prerequisite: "The basis dialog for which the maintenance variant is created already exists."
I am a little bit unsertain if I miss this 'Basic dialog'. Can you please advice on how to check / create this 'basic dialog' before I go on to create the variant. (I need this 'basic dialog' as input in the procedure you sent.)
(Note: I have already created a 'maintenance dialog' for the view, but I have a feeling, that is something different...)

How to create a variant for a selection screen button

hi ,
      i have created a selection screen for a normal report .
In the selection screen there is one button after the selct option for company code. when user enters some company code and presses the button the user i call a able contraol in which user gives some additional values for the comapny code.
how do i create variant. when i create varaint for the slection screen it does not take into account the other screen i called .
so every time user has to click that button and enter some values and execute. please suggest some way.
THANKX IN ADAVANCE:)

Hi,
      Inorder to create a variant for selection screen report, you need to enter valid data on the screen and click on the SAVE button which is available in the Menu.
      And regarding the button you were asking about after select option, it is not created manually it comes automatically,, you can remove this by mentioning no-extension after the select-option. You can get clear information of this if you do F1 help on select-option.
My advice to you, make effect use of F1 help.
