Regarding Variant Config

Hi everybody,
we have a scenario where we are manufacturing a KMAT; X and using it as a bom item in KMAT Y.
Eventhough X is a KMAT we are maintaining stock. So my question is can we define X as a stockable KMAT under the the bill for Y ?
When i configure the material Y in sales order i dont configure X as i was maintaining stock for it.
any body dealt with this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
srikanth

  • 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

    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.

    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.

  • 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
    regards
    Arun prasad

    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.

  • Tables, function modules for variant config data

    Hi all,
    I need to extract characteristics and values for variant material from sales order and production orders. Could you please tell me the relevant tables and function modules?
    Regards,
    Sachin M

    Hi
    Try the following;
    Function module to find values of characteristics - CLAF_CLASSIFICATION_OF_OBJECTS .
    Table # AUSP also holds values of characteristics, you can link to it via table INOB,which should also linked to table KONDH if you are using the same.

    Hi,
    If you are looking for Variant Config data of a Sales Order, then the function is VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION
    The function expects VBAP-CUOBJ as the input

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Regarding Variant Configration

    Dear All
    Hi My self Mandar Sathe a recent new comer in SAP field in PP module. I am having a query regarding Variant Configration. I am having a product FERT with a code. Say a Lock that can be sold in different finish with Different mechanisms and with different key options to be specific
    consider a Navtal lock this Lock can be sold with 2 keys 3 keys and more having produced with different mechanism in different colour shades so i want to configre the same FERT using Variant Configration so at the time of producing the same it will ask me combination of Number of Keys Finish and Mechanism. How to configure the same using Variant Configration Method.
    Now i have defined the material as configrable matrial I have defined a class and characterstics but not able to simulate them to get end result so pls guide me also if anybody has the documents regarding the same pls
    Thanks & Regards

    Mandar,
    basically selection condition is used to select a item from  BOM , like on item 0010 MATR10 is present and you want to select this material when the characterstic value is RED for characterstic COLOUR ,then you need top assign selection condition
    $self.COLOUR = 'RED'
    Precondtionas are used to hide available values of characterstics or characterstics it self depends upon the previous selection of values.
    like in some products some restrictions are there like, Car with red colur is not availabe with automatic transmission, so in suct case for the characterstic TRANSMISSION preconduitons can be written as
    $SELF.COLOUR  NA RED
    procedure are used for selection things depends upon previous selection of values, it can also be used for adding or deleting quantitys etc.
    Procedures can overwrite default values that are set by other procedures.
    $SET_DEFAULT ($SELF, <characteristic>, <term>)
    A configurable material has characteristics COLOR and PRESSURE. The following procedures are allocated to the configuration profile of the material.
    0010 $SELF.COLOR = u2018GREENu2019 IF PRESSURE >= 10
    0020 $SELF.COLOR = u2018YELLOWu2019 IF PRESSURE >= 50
    0030 $SELF.COLOR = u2018REDu2019 IF PRESSURE >= 100
    The sort sequence ensures that pressure greater than or equal to 100 always sets the color u2018redu2019
    Check it out and revert back.

  • MI31 - Phy Inv. - how to exclude Variant Config Materials

    For our Variant Cofiguration Materials (parent materials) we don't have stock to count for the physical inventory (MI31).   The company would like to exclude these items from the material selection automatically.
    I've looked around in the IMG  for material master and in physical inventory but I didn't find anything that looked like a "exclude from Phys Inv." indicator or anything that could be used on one of these materials.
    The site could "exclude" the individual material #'s in the selection screen of the MI31 transaction and save a variant or something...but it would have to always be monitored when new materials were created, etc.   Company would like to know if there is a configuration setting of some kind that can exclude a Variant Material from the phys inventory run.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    what is wrong with ACC TO STOCK settings?
    Does it exclude to much? more than you expect?
    Unfortunatly you have not done anything in your design to distinguish Variant Config Materials from standard materials.
    Same material type mean probably the same number range as well.
    I have other ways to select, but it depends on the number of materials that are in this material  type.
    How many do you have in that material type, how many do you want to exclude.
    How often will you count?

  • Accessing Variant config characterisctics during CONDITION BASE formula

    Hi,
    I would like to access the characteristics values for a variant config during the SD pricing in the order. Since I don't have the batch at that point, how to I read from the variant itself? The document may not even be saved at that point yet.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Leonardo

    Hi Leonardo,
    You can use reference characteristic to read data from the database table. To do pricing per the values of characteristic you can write object dependencies to set values in pricing. Note 935885 has information reference characteristics you can use. Please review help,sap.com for more information on how these can be set. If you give me an exact example for your requirement , I can guide you with the steps you can use.

  • Sales Order Variant Config

    While returning from the variant config screen, I need to add a line item in a sales order. Does anyone know about any user-exit that could be used?

    Hello Ashley
    Yes, if you have done your settings correctly, especially Requirements class set up  (see the documentation link),  then the cost estimate will flow to a condition type in Pricing, usually EK01/EK02 conditions. These conditions are used to calculate sales prices (PR00) in cost-plus (mark-up) scenarios.
    Link: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/90/ba6da4446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    However Profit margin  as calculated in a sales order comes from VPRS condition  (which is based in Material Master) and is the difference of net value and VPRS condition value in normal circumstance.
    Hope other more knowledgeable experts will weigh in.

  • Variant Config Strategy

    Hello all,
    I am currently implementing BW for Sales (SD) for a customer that uses heavily Variant Configuration.
    They are using 560 different characteristics to classify their various products. However, for each Material (ZMAT or modified KMAT), the number of characteristics used does not exceed 10.
    I know I can create DataSources in CTBW to load Variant Config transactional data.
    Anybody has experienced a data modeling strategy that would allow us to manage this efficiently?
    Thanks
    Jean-Luc

    Hi,
    we're having the same issue.
    We have a configurable material. Mat type KMAT. That we have a sales order and planned order for.
    When converting the planned order into a production order we get this message. It does not matter if the individual/collective indicator is set to 1, 2, or left blank.
    Any clues? Are we supposed to be able to manufacture KMAT materials?
