Here are the simple steps to follow to link the material to class. The steps also include set-up for creating material to assignment.
1. Create Material
Menu Path: Logistics – Materials Management – Master Data – Material- Create
<b>Transaction Code: MM01</b>
[Enter the material type as “Configurable Material”.
Ensure that check box “Material is configurable” is checked (i.e. MARA-KZKFG has value X) in Basic Data view]
2. Create Characteristics
Menu Path: Logistics – Central Functions – Classification – Master Data – Characteristics - Create
<b>Transaction Code: CT04</b>
All the required characteristics should be created before proceeding to next step.
3. Create Class
Menu Path: Logistics – Central Functions – Classification – Master Data – Class - Create. <b>Transaction Code: CL01</b>
Enter name of class.
Enter class type as 300 - Variants.
Enter description and other relevant details.
4. ASSIGN CHARACTERISTICS TO CLASS
Menu Path: Logistics – Central Functions – Classification – Master Data – Class - Change <b>[Transaction Code: CL02]</b>
<b>Note:</b> Assignment of characteristics to class can be done while creating class also, if all the characteristics are created before creating class.
Go to Characteristics tab and assign all the characteristics in sequence in which you want them to appear logically.
5. CREATE CONFIGURATION PROFILE
Menu Path: Logistics – Central Functions – Variant Configuration – Configuration Profile – Create <b>[Transaction Code: CU41]</b>
Material to class assignment is created via Configuration Profile.
