Variant config

Hi gurus
cofniditon type va00 is manadatory or manual conditon in prcing procedure. Can any one suggest me. When i am maintaining in conditon records for the condition type va00 is not coming the it showing messege variant not found. So that price is not coming in sales order. Please help me in this regard
Points will be rewarded

Dear rack,
VA00 is a condition record maintained for variant config material. So if your material is not under variant config the error will come. you can delete that line if you dont have a variant material.

How to find variant config material changes

Hi!
I have a requirement to compare variant config material under an equipment sales order. Scenario is:-
Suppose company has sold one product and that product is variant configured. Under configuration tab user has selected different characteristics and because of that characteristics some materials has come under that config material in sales order. Suppose customer has returned that material after some time and now I have to create a follow on return order. My requirement is , I have to check that if that configured material has been changed now (depending upon same characteristic values ) or not. May be that configured material is now having one more component material added that is priced now and that configuration product price has been changed because of that new added component .
Is there any way I can compare that configured material in sales order with regards to todays date. (Depending upon characteristic values) .
Regards
Yogesh

The material documents are NEVER deleted. You can reverse them (MBSM provides a list of reversed documents) but not delete them.
You can delete the delivery, then the VBFA is cleared but in MKPF table a trace of this still stay in field MKPF-XBLNR that contains the deleted delivery number.

Variant Config - Changing char value on Prod Order component

Experts,
We have a situation where we need to manually add Material Variants as components on a given Production Order's component list. This is in cases where stock for the material variant is available & can be used.
We use ECC 6.0 with certain features of DIMP (SDUD) turned on for Mill Products (along with Variant Config). After adding the Material Variant on the Production Order, we want to edit/change/add characteristic values to the Class 300 characteristics. I've tested this & while it is possible for a configurable material, system does not allow to change char values on the material variant.
Does anyone know of a way to enhance the system in order to achieve this?
Thanks

Just a thought.
let's assume the characteristic you want is called CHAR.
Then create a dummy characteristic called DUMMY. Create values 'ASSIGNED' and 'BLANK' for DUMMY.
Create a dependency for the values of DUMMY
for 'ASSIGNED':
CHAR SPECIFIED
for 'BLANK':
NOT SPECIFIED CHAR
Then go back in each value of characteristic CHAR and create another dependency as follows:
DUMMY eq 'ASSIGNED'
that way the system should only display those values of CHAR for which DUMMY has a value...
It's a bit of a circular thought I know... Not implemented anything like it myself but it just might work

Variant config - Two Varinat class to single material

Hi
I had defined two variant classes eg: Class1 & class2 and assigned it to material in clasiification view.
While sales order the systems take me to variant config screen which shows charateristics of both the class combined. I need to display separately .
How can do this ? please help

Some light on Variant Configuration in Detail.
The procedure is as follows:
Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
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)
Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.
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
Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
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 Config- Dependcy based on Material quantity

Hi ,
I have a specific requirement for variant config.
If we have a material A1 and it has variants as b1( values 5/10/15) and c1(red/blue/green).
when i create the sales order for A1 and enter 5 in the quantity field , then the variant B1 should be populated with value 5, if the quantity is 10 then B1 gets populated with 10 and so on.
I know that using the quantity field to drive this is not proper.
But I am trying to do a work around.
Because the business process has material with many variants but while ordering the customer will never order for more than 1 quantity of the material. and if he wants to check the various options he will need to mostly change one particular variant. I am trying to reduce the work involved in going to the variant and then choosing the value.
Any help would be rewarded...
Thanks
BGS

we can use the refernece object field to do this.
though it required a lot of my.

Material Assignment in routing ?

HI Gurus,
can anybody please Explain in which business scenario Material assignment In routing is used.i am confused about the functionality in the business .
Thanks&regards,
Venkat.

Dear Venkat,
Routing is the sequence of operation/activities through which production takes place across the work centers ( machines ) which is created by pp consultant.
Example : If you want to stitch a shirt we many need to do following activities.
Taking the measurements from the user
Cutting the fabric according to measurements
Stitching / sewing ( Joining the parts like collar / hands / Yoke / Pocket / Cuffs....Etc)
Buttoning ( adding the buttons to shirt)
Quality checking
Ironing
Packing ..etc.
In the same way based on the product you are going to do it might have some steps to make it, we will maintain the same steps / sequences as ROUTING in SAP PP.

BAPI to change material assignment with serial number (IQ02)

Hi Experts,
Please let me know the BAPI to change material assignment with serial number in IQ02. I am using BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE, but this does not work. Waiting for Your valuable inputs...
Thanks in advance,
Birendra

Hello Birendra,
Honestly, I do not have good experience with the BAPI for serialnumber change...
would suggest to explore function module:
SERIALNUMBER_LIST_UPDATE
or
SERIALNUMBER_LIST_SAVE
Also run ST05 to trace what kind of data it passed to these function modules by running IQ02!
Cheers

Routing creation with material assignment

Hello sap gurus,
I have created routing for semifinished product.Now i want to create routing for finished material but i want to use the same routing as we created for semifinished product by material assignment function in routing.when i go to do like that i am facing one problem.when i go to component assignment for finished material to operation,it shows the component over there which are in Bom of semifinished product,not the component which are in Bom of finished material.so how to do the component assignment if i create the routing by materail assignment function?
Hope u have understood my problem.

Hi Jitendra,
Instead of making the scenario complex, I suggest you to go for separate routing and BOM for the semi-finished and finished product.
How do you differentiate the routing of both the finished and semi-finished in only one ?

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 config billing error

Experts!
I am very new in SD variant config. I managed to setup and get the pricing
matrix working. But I am stuck with generating invoice. When I try to generate
invoice, error message "000010 The item is not relevant for billing"
I have done the following:
1. Account assignment, I have created the access key by customer by account key
2. In SE11, I extended the structures for KOMCV and KOMPCV for variant key field
VARCOND account determination.
3. Document type billing copy control ZOR to F2.
What are the possible cause and what else do I require to setup in order to
generate invoice and post to finance?

Chidam,
Ok, I got it. The item cat was not set to billing related. I changed to billing related and billing was generated but still cannot post to FI, no accounting document generated. I think maybe it's related to FI profitability analysis. I will check with FI guy but this guy is only back tomorrow. By the way, do you know what's require to setup??
Also I noticed the pricing condition description are all the same. This is a bundle price and goes to different GL account. I just enter the package material code e.g. IT services and it will compute all the pricing condition:-
Computed
ZZ1 IT project $10
ZZ2 IT project $20
ZZ3 IT project $30
The correct description should be:
ZZ1 IT consultation $10
ZZ2 Servicing $20
ZZ3 Documentation $30
Anything I missed out?
Any idea how to set the

BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 is not carrying out pricing for variant config materials

Hi Guys
I need to create a BAPI to create sales orders coming in through a web service from an external system, for normal materials all works well, but for variant config materials the pricing is not happening, like the way it does when I manually create an order, I don't want to manually pass the pricing condition in BAPICOND as I want the BAPI to dynamically determine the conditions from the access sequence.
While debugging VA01 I found that the control goes to the 'PRICING' function module twice, ones for the main material , and next for all its config materials, the second time it calls the 'PRICING' fm with pricing type 'O'. Here it selects the price for all the variant materials and loads into an internal table vkomv and displays in VA01 the variant materials that we select while creating the order, but in the case of the BAPI call, the control is going only to the 'PRICING' fm call for the header.
I have passed 'V' in the application parameter and the variant material in the varcond parameter of the BAPICOND structure.
Any idea what I might be missing ??
Thanks

Material Assignment in Master recipe

Hi,
Is there any FM/BAPI to assign material into a master recipe? Currently, we are using BDC to call C202 transaction for this purpose. This process takes long time for material assignment which leads to performance issue.
Thanks in advance
Senthil Kumar A

In LSMW , object BUS1012 is offered for routing creation and change .
Unfortunately there is no object for master recipe creation & change and there is no standard batch input, nor BAPI/IDOC, nor direct input. You should create your own batch input or CATT.
Here is a possible procedure:
Please record a Batch-Input with transaction SHDB and try if this work. If not please try with TOFF as described in the notes.
Read carefully SAP note 142022.

Variant config in MM

Hi,
I need to map VC in MM side, i have went thru the blw link... where i need to work out on PO i.e how the characteristic values transferred from Sale order to PR and PO.
Re: Variant config in MM

Jay

Hi,
For variant config. in MM you have to use the comunication structure as MMCOM in additional data for charactoristics.
to configure follow the steps :
u2022     Create a Material - KMAT as Material Type with Item Category - 0002 by using TCode MM02
u2022     Create Charateristics using TCode CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
u2022     Create another Characteristics using TCode CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table MMCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)
u2022     Assign these two characteristics to a Class using TCode CL01 - ZBikeclass (Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
u2022     Then go to Configuration Profile using TCode CU41 select the material and enter the description click on the Class assignment, i.e., assign Zbikclass.
u2022     Now go back to Characteristic using TCode 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
u2022     Now go back go to Extras - Other Dependencies - Assignments and Assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
u2022     Now select Blue- go to Extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
u2022     Now go back go to Extras - Other Dependencies - Assignments and Assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
                     Create a condition type ( e.g. ZVAR) with variant condition tick.
u2022     Now go to Condition Record using TCode MEK1 - Enter ZVAR (Condition)(For created Pricing Procedure which contains the defined condition ZVAR) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the purchase order.
In the material tab new button will appear for configuration-- here you select the variant value ( value for the charactoristics - e.g. 'Red') - press enter and come back.
Check the pricing in condition tab.

Satish
