Materials in class items K are not showing in CU50 result

Question

Dear Experts
I have configured a new product for my company . The details are provided as below.
For configuration of the product I have used a class item K . The list of materials to be picked from this class are assigned to the class through T-code CL24N .
I have also created a variant table and provided the value of the material list in the table . I have also written the object dependency ( procedure ) and assigned it to configuration profile .
Problem :- After  selecting the entries in CU50 , I try to get the result.  But  the result does not  shows the required materials . Instead of materials the name of the class 300 appears in the BOM items . The Item category also shows up as K instead of L.
Requesting your guidance in this regards . Thanks in advance.

HI,
If you want to use BOM Item for configuration. It's better to do take a look at this example.
EX: I want to create FG named THEBOX. This box has 2 characteristics: Size and Color. Now you want to use BOM Item K to choose the correct color as you want.
Sol:
1. Create FG Material THEBOX as KMAT type (MM01)
2. Create class A300_BOX (CL04) (class type 300 with 2 characteristics Size and Color) and assign to material THEBOX
3. Create class A200_Color (class type 200) (CL04) includes characteristic Color as characteristic of A300_BOX. Then you maintain value for this characteristic in this A200_Color (Red, Blue, Green). Remember to maintain on Additional data tab with Allow in BOM and Resulting item category is L.
4. You create 3 raw materials ColorRED, ColorBlue, ColorGreen and assign them to A200_Color class. You also need to choose the correct values for them (Red to ColorRED, Blue to ColorBLUE and Green to ColorGREEN).
5. Create BOM for FG material THEBOX (CS01) And then go to tab Class, enter A200_Color, Item Category is K, Type is 200 and quantity also.
6. Use CU50 for simulation
Remember: Raw materials and FG must have the same Plant. Otherwise, it will not give you the correct BOM Item as you want.
Hope this example helpful for you!
