How to hide variant configuration screen in sales order

Hi Friends,
Could you please help : how to hide variant configuration screen in sales order for a configured material
Ranjan

Hi
The very purpose of VARIANT CONFIGURATION is to for this material these are the characteristics available
In this you choose one characteristic then these are the values available
If you make a choice then this is the price
Means Maruthi car is the product
Say 800
Alto
Zen
These are characteristics
In this you choose say black, cherry red, white these are the values
When you put a sales order for Maruthi car then if it is 800 black colour then price is X
if it is 800 white colour then price is y
So that according to the choice of the customer the pricing and other details are fetched
Why do you want to defeat the very purpose of VARIANT CONFIGURATION
Rather than listing out of the whole product list the system simplifies the thing
Without that popup variant configuration is meaningless
Regards
Raja

Variant Configuration Description in Sales Order

Hi All,
We have configured Variant Configuration.
During Sales Order Processing on Condition Tab the in Name of Condition Type (Field VTEXT) instead of condition type the system is reflecting the description of Variant.
We want the description of Condition Type & not of variant. Can any one guide how the same cvan be done.
Regards
Mahendra

First, you are talking about VA00 or VA01 condition types, correct?
These work different then other condition types, in a sales document they will display the name of the variant (you defined) that matches your config, characteristic-value(s).
This is Option-based pricing. it is working by design. If you don't want these to show in the procedure then don't define them. you can sum up all values in the configurator then just have one Variant with a "dummy" name and pass that back to the price condition

Custom ATP Check using Variant Configuration Data in sales order

I have a requirement to modify the standard SAP ATP check by including the variant configuration data entered on a item. Standard SAP does not use/include the characteristics data when doing the ATP. None of the available user exits would allow me to do this.
The scenario is the client has a configurable product that exist in inventory as one item, base unit as IN2. The batches that exist in inventory have the characteristics of width and length. The order data specifies a width and a length, they need the ATP to identify the availability based on the characteristics of the batch.
The solution was to present the user with a list of batches based on the characteristics that meet the criteria. The user would then have the option of choosing one of the batches which would mean that the line item would include the batch #. If the user does not want any of the batches, they could choose to select a Make to Order option, which would change the item category of the item, so that it creates a production order upon saving the order.
The problem I am having implementing this solution is I have not been able to identify the internal table(s) that contains the characteristics data in SAPMV45A after the configuration screen is called. If anyone knows where that information is during the sales order processing, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Jean,
Have you managed to find a solution as yet? I know you have not received any replies but am hoping you were able to resolve the problem as we are facing the exact issue on our project.
Please let me know,
Thanks,

Variant Configuration Cost in Sales Order

Can you let me know what is the standard way to cost Variant configured items in the sales order? for standard item costs, we use VPRS, but for Variant items, the costs vary depending on the variant characteristics selected. Sales Price is controlled by Variant Pricing...but i wanted to know how Cost for these Items should be set up as a best practice. Some place explode the BOMs into the Sales Order - but some characteristics are not Materials per say. Thanks.

Hi Nhu,
Welcome to SCN.See suppose you created sales BOM. In general the sales bom will explode and appear in sales order.Here we consider only main material only.

Variant Configuration Error in sales order

Hi,
Done the customization for variant. Raised sales order & selected the characteristics like colour--Red & engine--200cc for material & checked in item level condition its showing the 2 characteristic 100cc & 200cc engines but not the characteristics colours. Maintained condition record & condition type in pricing procedure.
I have 2 issues
1) In Sales Order I selected only characteristic engine 200cc & why it is showing another characteristic 150cc also in Item level conditions.
2) Why it is not showing the Colour characteristic Red in conditions.
Looking for the experts answer
Regards
Pradeep

Hi,
Variant configuration is as per my knowledge its a case sensitive. Please maintain all the variants and character in CAPP letter and do the same during formula writing also.
During creation of Condition record maintain with CAPPs letter only.
Thanks,
Neo.
*Reword points if its helps.

Variant configuration statistics of sales order and billing document

Is there any transaction that allow me to get statistics from the sales orders and billing document for configurable materials ? (like VA05) better if using the values of the characteristics that make up the positions of order.
Thera are any information from "Sales Information System" using LIS?
Thanks.

Hi,
With LIS, we'll find different infostructures.
See this link to configure LIS reports :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/c1/375723449a11d188fe0000e8322f96/frameset.htm
Using many infostructures before to see sales analysis.
Another solution :
In sales order (by user exit), copy characteristics in new fields in VBAP.
Then, you can use these fields in VA05 (add user exit) or new ABAP report.

How to hide the Condition types in item condition screen in Sales Order ?

Hi Experts,
We got new requirement from the Client. Pricing Condition types are ZZBG, ZPBG, ZPBA, ZFSG, ZBDG and ZBHG part in Pricing Procedure. These condition types have Condition records. These need to be hidden in Item conditions screen in Sales Order but other status of the conditions remain unchanged. Pleas provide me the solution earliest How this we can achieve in a best way.
Best Regards,
Srikith

Hi Srikanth,
You can achieve this using CONDITION EXCLUSION.
Maintain Condition exclusion for first condition type its Exclude the condition types which are below to that.
You must set a condition exclusion indicator for the price. You can do this in two ways:
If you want to set the condition exclusion indicator a follows then you specify it:
1..for all condition records of a condition type (e.g. with condition type PR00) when defining a condition type in SD Customizing
2.for an individual condition record (e.g. only for material 4711) in the detail screen of a condition record (in the Condition exclusion field)
Hope this will helps you

Hi,
Eg: Ford car.If a sale order is raised for fiesta lxi model the system should choose red colour & for vxi blue colour respectively.
ie you need to define the characteristic and assign the values .
This characteristic need to assigned to class.
class need to be assigned to material master
1. T.code : CT04(characteristic) FORD_MODEL, Choose single value & entry required tab & give the input as 01 - fiesta_lxi & 02 - fiesta_vxi.( characteristic values)
2.Tcode: CT04, FORD_BODY( another characteristic)
Choose single value , don't click entry required.
01 - Red( characteristic values)
02- Blue
3. Create class T.code : CL02
fiesta_class
type : 300
4. OBJECT DEPENDENCY:
T.CODE : CT04
FORD_MODEL
CLICK VALUES TAB,
IN FIESTA_LXI CLICK THE 'O' meant for Obj dependency, action & extra.
Edit the dependecy,
010 $Self.ford_body = '01'. & save
Repeat the same for FIEST_VXI & instead of '01' give '02' for blue colour.
, then create a ROH as ford_body. & a KMAT material for the car. .
Then create a Super BOM with usage 3 & give component as ford_body
Then use T.code cu41 (Create config profile)
enter a profile name & class 300 & choose class assignment, choose fiest_class ,
Use T.code cu50 to check the values.
Then create a sale order.
Pl. reward if helpful.

How to configure rescheduling for sale order quantities

kindly explain how to configure rescheduling for sale order quantities that are created last month. kindly explain. i am in urgent.

g.v.shivakkumar

Hi,
Short text
Rescheduling sales and stock transfer documents: by material
Description
The 'Rescheduling' program (SDV03V02) processes sales document items that are contained in the item directory for the material. It takes into consideration open items and schedule lines from stock transfer items, stock transfer scheduling agreements and purchase order requests (items only), referred to hereafter as stock transfer documents, for the materials.
All sales documents for the material that are still open are selected. This means that the material index must be activated for at least all sales document types, whose items may have requirements. All stock transfer documents or items for the material that are still open are also selected. Open in this case means for example, that there is no deletion indicator, that the item from a stock transfer purchase order request cannot be labeled as completed or that the quantity delivered and posted to goods issue for the item in a stock transfer purchase order is the same as the amount ordered. An availability check can only be carried out if a checking rule is assigned to the document type - if this is not the case, the document or document item is not checked.
Checking rule 'A' is used as a basis for rescheduling sales orders (exceptions to this are rush orders they use checking rule B, and orders with individual customer stock; they use checking rule AE). Stock transfer documents use the checking rule that is assigned in Customizing for Purchasing. It is important that the scope of checks is consistent for both the stock transfer documents and the sales documents and that they do not exclude each other, as this can lead to incorrect test results. An example of an incorrect setting would be: The scope of check for checking rule 'A' checks delivery schedules for stock transfer purchase orders and stock transfer purchase requests, however the scope of check for the checking rule for the stock transport scheduling agreement does not.
The items and schedule lines found in the selection are sorted according to 'Priorities' - document category, delivery priority, creation date of the item or schedule line (for stock transfer purchase orders and delivery plans) entered on the selection screen or according to the schedule line date of the earliest schedule line with order quantity, document number and item number and then transferred to the availability check. Priority 1 is highest priority and priority 5 the lowest. Stock transfer purchase order requests are sorted after stock transfer purchase orders and scheduling agreements, as they are less binding. This means that when you have identical sort criteria such as delivery dates, the stock transfer purchase order item is checked first and then the item from the stock transfer purchase order request.
The preset option 'Unconfirmed documents required' only carries out rescheduling for materials for which there is at least one unconfirmed transaction.
You can use the parameters 'Sorting criteria delivery date' to define whether sorting is carried out with the order quantity after the creation date of the item or the delivery date of the earliest schedule line.
If you mark the 'Simulation' field, the checked documents are not saved. Instead a results list is generated and saved. However, the availability check for the corresponding documents continues as if saving has taken place already, that is, that the simulated list corresponds to the actual one.
Under 'Options' on the selection screen, specify whether sales documents and/or stock transfer documents should be processed. For stock transfer documents you can enter whether stock transfer purchase orders and scheduling agreements should be processed at item or schedule line level:
Processing at item level:
All open schedule lines for the item are read and collected, then transferred to the availability check. To sort and prioritize documents, you do not need each individual schedule line. It is sufficient to have the item or data from the first schedule line. All open schedule lines for the item are processed and checked.
Example of processing at item level:
Sorting: Date (Delivery date first schedule line) - Document number - Document item
Doc. cat. Doc. number Doc. item Doc. schedule line Delivery date PO        4500000012      10               0001              26.01. PO        4500000012      10               0002              26.02. PO        4500000025      20               0001              28.01. PO        4500000025      20               0002              02.02.
You can see that the second schedule line for document 4500000025/20 from 02.02 was processed after the second schedule line for document 4500000012/10 from 26.02. This is because all open schedule lines for an item are read and processed. The first schedule line from 4500000012/10 has the earliest delivery date, therefore it has priority.
Processing at schedule line level:
Each open schedule line for an item is entered in document sorting in accordance with the values entered under 'Priorities'. The availability check is carried out for each individual schedule line.
Example for processing at schedule line level:
Sorting: Date (delivery date first schedule line) - document number -document item
Doc. cat.    Doc. number Doc. item Doc. sched. line Del. date PO           4500000012    10             0001           26.01. PO           4500000025    20             0001           28.01. PO           4500000025    20             0002           02.02. PO           4500000012    10             0002           26.02.
Here you can see that each schedule line was sorted according to its delivery date. Note that this type of processing requires more runtime due to the individual checks and more frequent saving.
The results of rescheduling are saved, as long as the program was not started in simulation mode. When calling up from the 'Sales' area menu or when directly starting via the development environment, the iniator is informed via a dialog box that he has just started a process that changes data. He can then decide whether or not he wants to continue.
Checking procedure for stock transfer documents:
An availability check of stock transfer documents in rescheduling is carried out in accordance with the check carried out when manually creating a document. If, however, the required quantity for a schedule line is not available on a particular date and will not be ready until later, new schedule lines are created for the stock transfer purchase orders and scheduling agreements, containing the relevant data. New items are created in this case for stock transfer purchase order requirements. The total sum of schedule line quantities for a processed schedule line corresponds to the schedule line quantity of the original schedule line.
First example: Using a stock transfer purchase order item with a schedule line:
a) Status of item before rescheduling run:
Del. date PO quantity   Confirmed quant Confirmed del. date 23.07.      50 items       0 items              -
==> This now affects the stock/requirement situation:
    - Goods issue is posted for the material in the delivering plant on the 23.07.
    - A purchase order of 10 items was created for the material in the delivering plant. Delivery is expected on the 29.07.
b) Status of stock transfer purchase order item after rescheduling run:
Del. date PO quantity   Confirmed quant   Confirmed del. date 23.07.     40 items      40 items            23.07. 29.07.     10 items      10 items            29.07.
==> The first schedule line was changed in accordance with the results of the rescheduling availability check. Only 40 of the 50 original items could be delivered on the 23.07. Therefore, a new schedule line is created for the rest on the 29.07. for 10 confirmed items.
Second example: Same output situation as the above example.
==> There is now a change in the requirement/stock situation:
A purchase order for 10 items is created for the material in the delivering plant. Delivery is expected on the 29.07. A further purchase shows another 40 planned items on the 30.07.
   Status of stock transfer purchase order item after rescheduling run:
Del. date PO quantity Confirmed quant Confirmed del. date 29.07.     10 items       10 items          29.07. 30.07.     40 items       40 items          30.07.
==> The first schedule line was changed in accordance with the result of the availability check for rescheduling. The original delivery date is set to the date confirmed in the ATP check. A new schedule line is created for the remaining 40 items, that are available on the 30.07.
Note:
Any set fixed delivery date and quantity indicators and creation indicators for schedule lines or items are 'inherited' by newly created schedule lines. Assuming that the original schedule line was fixed in the above example (since it is created manually), this indicator is also set for the newly created schedule line.
If shipping scheduling is activated for a stock transfer document type, this is also implemented for newly created schedule lines, with the exception of route schedule determination. This means that in the current version of the program no route schedule has been determined for a schedule line containing a route schedule for which new schedule lines may need to be created.
The results of the run are issued in the form of a list, which is also saved, so that the results can be controlled at a later date. This is done using the function 'Evaluate rescheduling', but it is only a good idea to do this after the first rescheduling has taken place. You can restrict selection requirements but these can however affect the runtime. You can use this function to analyze the saved list until the next rescheduling run, which writes over the result. If you start rescheduling in the background, a spool file with the result list referred to will be created in the corresponding setting. You can see this in spool management.
Output
A list of changed documents, a list of documents in which an error occurred during processing and as a result were not changed, can be called up via the menu 'Edit - Error log'. If in a subsequent evaluation a restricted selection is carried out, a note appears at the end of the list to say that not all document items are displayed.
You can set the scope of the list under the menu option 'List' in the list display. You can view improvements, deteriorations and the whole list. Before the documents can be included in one or either of the restricted lists, the date or quantity has to have changed so that the item can be contained in both the list of improved or deteriorated documents.
You can use the interface for changing transactions and the order list to navigate. Use 'Back' to exit the list and 'New selection' to return to the selection screen.
Recommendation
You should only start this program occasionally and use very restricted selectin criteria during working hours as it requires enormous system resources.
Note
The columns for 'New date' and 'New confirmed qty' only contain entries if the dates or quantities have changed.
As the system only runs the change check (dates/quantities) per line in the original list, an item whose backlog has increased in the list of improvements. This occurs, for example, if the whole quantity can be delivered at once but at a later date. In this situation, the system determines an increase for the line when it compares quantities.

Hi Shiva,
To get the detail about a table filed you can use DDIF* function module.
Here in this particular case you can use FM   DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET.
Pass the table name & field name.
After executing that FM you can check   DFIES_TAB in Tables parameter. i t will be having an entry.
Check for filed name as   KEYFLAG , if it is not initial ie. X then supplied filed is Primary Key.
If KEYFLAG is initial then supplied filed is not a primary key.

Auto populate variant characterstics values in sales order

Hi Sapients,
we are trying to configure variant configuration at sales order level. We have created several characterstic and assigned it to class. Now some of the characterstics will be fixed at material level and some of the characterstics are dependent on the values supplied by the user in sales order. we have created characterstics like grade, profile, size, length, tdc number , tdc date, tdc customer, hardness, composition etc and assigned it to class salesspec ( class type 300 ).The characterstics like profile, grade, size, length are entered in the material master itself.
TDC related details like tdc no, tdc date, tdc customer, hardness, composition will be entered through a ZPROGRAM and the details will be stored in ZTABLE (ZTDC) where TDC number wll be the primary key and the respective details will be stored here.Now when we create sales order, after entering the material and clicking on variant configuration, the configuration screen comes up where the user will enter the appropriate TDC number . based on the TDC no entered by the users , the other dependent values like TDC date, tdc customer, hardness, chemical composition needs to be automatically populated in the sales order variant configuration screen .
Please guide me how to resolve this issue. shall i create dependency based on TDC no. In dependecy what is the code i have to write . Please elaborate in detail as i dont have idea on dependency.
Is it possible through user exit.
Thanks

Starting right is the first significant step. Looking at the answers to my questions, I think your industry certainly needs VC as also righty figured out by you. VC is a long way to go, and in my opinion you will need good experts handle this situation. In VC you will discover thatt there are 10 different ways to achieve the same outcome, but what matters is which solution you choose. This will depend upon a oot of factors during producg modelling, cutting the classification system, bulding configuration profiles, etc.
To give you a guideline:
1. You have 2 situtations MTO and MTS. MTO is 100% configurable material and MTS is where your KMAT will be replaced by an SKU (stock-kept-unit). For this you should emply variant type matching functionality. It's explained in SAP LO-VC help. Let me know if you do not have it.
2. For MTO you build classification system thoroughly to classifiy your products accordingly. This also involves creation of cstics. Ensure that you don't want to create cstics you will need to abondon in future.
3. To answer your question in the post: Steps involved in VC are:
a. create cstics, assign them to relevant class (type 300)
b. assign class to material CL20N or in configuration profile.
c. create configuration profile for material CU41 and write your object dependency (OB type = procedure)
d. In your OD (procedure) employ a table, say ZTDC. This is not ABAP table but a variant table created via CU61 and values maintained in CU60
e. your code in OD may look like this:
TABLE ZTDC
(TDC_NO = TDC_NO,
TDC_DAT = $SELF.TDC_DAT,
TDC_CUST = $SELF.TDC_CUST,
TDC_HRD = $SELF.TDC_HRD)
Here, TDC_NO is the key field you should define while table creation and when this is keyed in by users the other elements get determined autmoatically as per the varaint table.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you face any issues. Thank you.

How to find out Enhancement details for Sales Order

Hello,
Follwing is the scenerio:
As soon as Third Party Sales Order created, Header Billing block gets triggered (from Sales Doc settings in VOV8).
In Sales Order there are 4 items of items:
1. Hardware Material (Price) with Item Category, say A
2. Hardware Material (Free-of-Charge) with item category, say B
3. Service Material (Price) with Item Category, say C
4. Service Material (Free-of-Charge) with item category, say D
Now there is another billing block, at item level, for Hardware Material (Price) - item cat. A, ONLY.
I checked item cat. in VOV7, and this block is not configured there.
Sales Order saved (with pop-up message - Maintain Serial No. for Material, but as it's third party Order, stock is not in Inventory, so no Serial number at this point of time). PR triggered upon saving the Order. from PR, PO gets generated,and then MIRO.
Now, as vendor Invoice received with Stock details (Manufacturer's Serial No.), we go to VA02 and maintain Serial No. (Extra --> Serial No.) for all 4 types of material (Pls note that Billing block is for Hardware Price Material, but we need to maintain Serial No. for all 4 types of material) and save order.
As soon as, serial no. maintained, item level billing block gets removed for Hardware (price) material, automatically.
I need to understand how this functionality has been achieved?
More precisely how and where i can see the technical details, like What program is being developed, which user-exit is being used etc...
Thanks.

Hi Sumitra,
Since the system exit handler has to call your BADI go to SE24 and display
CL_EXITHANDLER
Chose method get_instance and set a break point.
And, then press F8, so it will show all the Badi's.
