Reassigning of Material Variant to KMAT in MM02

Can anyone let me know the possibility of Reassigning the Material Variant to KMAT and configuring the variant in MM02. For new assignment i do not have any problems, working fine. But when I need to reassign the MV to KMAT and configuring the variant and finally saving the MV, I am getting Runtime error.
Urgent Pls.
Raj

Hi Rajendra
have you maintained all the master data properly
1. classification for material variants (CL02)
2. Characteristics definition ( CT04)
3. configuration profile(CU41)
4. Pricing conditions (VK11) with Condition type VA00 Variant Price
5. object dependencies for each variant characteristics
ensure the above and let me know still youface any issue
regards

Sales order costing for Configured Material (Material Variant Not KMAT Mat)

Hi All
For a Configured Material (Variant) (Not KMAT Material), which is having Std price costed.
But if we create a Sales Order for the Configured Material, what options are availale to Execute Sales order costing and take the sales order value to COGS during Delivery.
The reason being Client wants to Cost BOM items are price which is different from the Price used in Std cost estimate due to Price Volatility.
I can understand we can do this in KMAT, but not sure how to do in Conifgured material. We can execute sales order costing and get Statistical cost value in EK02/EK01, but how to get this value posted during PGI..?
Thanks
Aravind

Hi Ajay
Even if i maintain M in Valuation filed, my Material Variant HALB material is already having standard cost in its material master and it is picking the std cost during PGI Delivery and hitting COGS A/c.
Now how to get my sales order costing to real and post my sales order costing value to GI..this is the client requirement.
Due some complication KMAT is not used and logistics go with Material Variant

How to find Materials Variants for KMAT material

How can I find what are material variants for a given KMAT material, Is there a specific table or

BAPI FOR CREATION OF MATERIAL VARIANT IN SAP

Dear All,
Can anoy one please provide me name of BAPI to create material variant.This is required when we create material variant for a configurable material, characteristics values are added in MRP 3 View .

i am not clear what youn are looking for.
Say material X is KMAT,
Material Y you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values
Material Z you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values different than Y
Now Y and Z are material variants of X, now tell me exactly what you are looking for?

Material variant not found when configuring an item on a sales order...

My client has been using Configurable Materials and Material Variants for several years. At times, when entering a sales order on a Configurable material, the Material Variant is NOT displayed, even though the values entered for characteristics exactly match that of a Variant.
I suspect that the "link" between the Configurable material and the Material Variant has been broken, perhaps due to changes made to one of the material masters. I've found that I can restore this "link" by changing the configuration of the Material Variant (MM02 transaction, the MRP3 tab, "Configure variant" button).
(1) Can you tell me under what circumstances the "link" between Configurable and Variant gets broken? In other words, are there certain fields on the Material master which, when changed, break this link? If so, which fields?
(2) Can you tell me how to identify those Material Variants which have a broken "link" (eg, those which do not link back to a Configurable material, for sales order entry purposes)? Is there an ABAP or such to restore all such broken links?

Hello and thanks for your response. I've searched OSS and had found several informative notes (900732, 774346), though none seem to deal with my problem. If you know of a note I'd much appreciate the lead... (:

Problem during material variant creation

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create material variant in MM01. I entered configurable material let's say DESKTOP. nOw i have partial variant scenario so instead of entering all 30 characteristics i need to enter only 3 characteristics.These 3 charcteristics based on which partial matching will happen in sale document.
My requirement is as out of 30 , TEN chars. are maintained as required entry. So system is asking me to enter all 10 required chars. in material master which my scnario don't want.But the same is required in Sales document.
How to remove this required entry in case of material master creation and keep required entry in sales order or quotation?

Hi,
You can decide whether it is mandatory to assign a value to a characteristic on the basis of transaction code.
You must use [selection condition|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm] which calls the [user-defined function|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/92/58d455417011d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm]. In function you need to analyze sy-tcode and raise the predefined exception FAIL for those when you don't want to assign a value to a characteristic (e.g. mm01, mm02). Contact your ABAP team to create such a function.
Don't tick the characteristic as required entry in class definition but assign this selection condition to this characteristic in class.

Alexander

GATP check on a Material Variant of a configurable material

Hi Experts,
In ECC side material variant is created . with reference to a configurable material of type KMAT.
The same configurable material is also used a pricing reference material for the material variant.
The configurable material is not relevant for production has no MRP tabs created. It is also not relevant for ATP check.
Material variant is of MTS strategy and relevant for ATP check.
Configurable material is not CIF'ed to APO. ECC ATP check was working fine. While doing GATP check , it is showing following error and not doing ATP check.
Product for external product number XXXXXXX and
BSG BSG1 does not exist .
XXXXXX---> is the configurable material.
Do I need to CIF across classes , characteristics and configurable material to APO even if I am doing ATP check on the material variant.

Hi,
No need to CIF across Class and Characteristics.
CIF across the Material ( Guess this material is just one Material). Activate the ATP Model for that material.
You need to maintain "CDP" in the customizing instead of Variant configuration in APO.
This should work.
Regards,

Automated Material Variant Creation

Is there an automated way to create material variants once a configuration is entered on a sales order, if one does not already exist?
Take an example, I have configurable material ComputerA which is a laptop computer. Say there are two possible configurations, 2GB of memory or 4GB of memory. Let's say that I have a material variant already for the 2GB configuration, and say that I called it ComputerA_2GB. If I were to create a sales order for ComputerA and configure it with 2GB of memory, then I could have my item category set to swap in the the material variant ComputerA_2GB automatically.
Now assume that I create an order for ComputerA but configure it with 4GB of memory. I have not previously created a material variant for this. Is there a way to have ECC dynamically create that material variant and swap it into my line? So the process would be: create line item for configured material, if material variant exists, swap in, if material variant does not exist, create the material master for the variant and then swap that material in. Is there any way to do this without custom code?

BAPI to read classification of Material Variant

Hi experts,
In our customer we are using material with a reference product KMAT (Material Variant), and we need a BAPI to read the configuration of the materials.
Does anyone knows which BAPI can we use to read the configuration of the material variant?
We tried to use the BAPI_PRDSRVAPS_GETCLASSES, but for material variant it didn't work, just to products that doesn't have a KMAT related.
Thanks in advanced
Thiago Cyrillo

Thiago,
Why dont you use a class like /SAPAPO/CL_MC01_CCV and method like GET_SINGLE_CHARVAL?

Removing a material variant

hi gurus,
let´s say I created a material master and entered a ConfigurableMaterial in the MRP-View. Let´s also say I already did a configuration.
Is there a way to remove this?

Hi,
First delete the class assigment from the configuration profile.
Than use MM02 to remeove material variant.
This will work.

Prakash

Configured material(Material Variants) with VC multi-level configuration

Hi experts,
I have a question about VC, VC can be a multi-level configuration, and it can be configuration level by level in sales order, this configurable material replace by a configured material(Material Variants ) . however I can only config the first level in Material Variants(MM02 MRP3; the configrable material is a multi-level)! how to solve it?
If we can not multi level config the VC materil in the configured material, how can it replace the configurable material in sales order?
Thanks
lance

Hi Lance,
You can do straight away also without user exit .
There is feature called Variant Matching in Variant configuration. If you can go throgh this and do the step by step configuration and in configuration profile setting you have to set Variant matching Indicator , then Make the Exclusion characterstics ,
With all the steps , Once the Configurable material is configured in Sales order if it finds the variant matched with the existing variant in the system , then Config Material will be replaced by Material Variant as a line item in the sales order.
Thanks

How to find the list of material variant based on the characteristics value

Hi
We are creating materials variants for FERT Material Type in material master in MRP-3 view .There we configure the variant by attaching characteristics value
Now we want to have a report , which can give the list of material variants , if char value is given in selection
Can somebody guide me if there is standard report for this OR what is the linkage in Table , so that we can develop a report

Sandeep

I couldn't find a standard report to get the material variants based on characteristic values (the nearest I could find was CT12) but I wrote a report some time back here's the table join logic for the main select statement.

        e~atwrt
        h~atwtb
into table i_tab
      from MARC as a
      inner join IBIN as b

I included bare minimum fields to suite your requirement needs you can add whatever other field you want . Though I tested the table join, I suggest you to test it again before writing your own ABAP program using SE16N.

Material variant replacement in sales order for Configurable Material

HI
I am using variant configuration. In this i have created material A as configurable material and have Preconfigured Material B as its variant by assigning configurable material in MRP 3 view.
Now when i am creating Order for material A i.e. Configurable material and the characteristics values are same as that of Preconfigured material system is not replacing Configurable material with Preconfigured material.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Anand.

Even after maintaining the item category MTAC(Mills Make to order config at mat level), the configurable material is not getting replaced in the sales order (va02). It is just showing material variant exists for the configurable material.
The setting in item category for configuration is.
Config. Strategy 01(Sales Order Strategy (TAC, TAM))
Mat. Variant Action 4 (Replace configurable material (Append and change))
ATP material variant 2 (Do not substitute if not completely available)
Structure scope D (Configuration, poss. with BOM explosion)
I have maintained the stock for material variant as well to take care of ATP material varinat setting shown above.
Please suggest if missing something.

Material Variant Matching in Sales Order Creation with ref.to Sales Order

Hi All,
We are working in Variant configuration.Our product is defined at PQD(Product, Quality & Dimension).
But, Sales Contracts are created at PQ (Product, Quality/Grade ) level only.
We have defined Variant Characteristics GRADE(ALLOY CODE),DIMENSION AND TWO MATERIALS.
MAT 1 , configurable material.
MAT 2, A Material Variant of MAT 1, Having values of GRADE = A & DIMENSION = 150 in MRP 3 view of the same.
When a Sales Order is created for MAT 1 and its characteristics values are GRADE = A, DIMENSION = 150, Material Variant type matching happens & it replaces the configurable material.
Similarly,Sales Contract is created for Configurable material MAT 1, with only GRADE = A ( As mentioned above, only quality is known at contract creation level).But, when we are trying to creart a Sales Order with reference to this Contract, we are trying to punch characteristic Value for DIMENSION = 150 also. At this stage, Materuial Variant MAT 2 is shown, but it is not replacing MAT 1.
Is this the standard behaviour or there is some solution/enhancement available.
regards,
Stuti

Dear Vijay,
in incompletion procedure we can arrange to check whether any field is empty, here data comparison is not possible.
As far as I know you can not achieve this through standard config.
To achieve your requirement, you will need to take help of an ABAPer, it can be achieved using Userexit.
ABAPer can use include MV45AFZZ
and Userexit ""USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT".
the code written in this userexit will check and compare the quantities before saving the dcument.
Logic if quantity enter is greater than the quantity mentioned in Contract show warning Message.
I hope this solves your Problem.

Paresh
