Stock Report for Variant configuration
Hi Experts,
Request your help to get the following information.
We have a material which are packed in to multiple packing modes. Inorder to ease the selection of packing mode in sales order, we are thinking of introducing variant configuration. I.e all the packed materials will be created as variants in SAP and the sales order will be created for the configurable material. When the proper characteristic is selected the material will be automatically replaced by the variant.
But the requirement is to see the stocks of all the varaints along with the configurable materials as the header. For eg. Material A is having variants A1, A2 & A3. The sales quantites are 25, 30 and 35 respectively.
In any of the standard report, can I see the sales of these along with the total sales of config mtl A as 90
Please guide.
Thanks & Regards
PrathibHi Prathib,
On my last project, we define material code with the same code at the beginning like you do A1 A2 A3 (for variants) and AC for example for configurable material. Then for stock report you can use MB52, in material field just write A* it will show you stock from material start with code A. But make sure you define material type and material group for selection wisely. It works for me. Now depends on how well you define your structure.

Edited by: Kaushal Rai on Feb 27, 2009 2:06 PMDear,
Follow these steps.
1. Create the Characteristics in CT04.
2. Create the Class in CL02. (Class type 300)
3. Assign the characteristics to the above created class.
4. Create the material (Product) in MM01 with material type KMAT.
5. Assign the Class created in Step 2 to Classification view of Material.
6. Create the configuration Profile in CU41. to the necessary setting to in it.
7. Write the dependencies (Precondition, sele, procedure) in CU01.and Create Dependency net in CU21.
8. Assign sele, procedure, Dependency net in Configuration Profile.
9. Assign Preconditons to Chracteristics or Char values in Class.
10. Check the model in CU50. whether your depencies or working file or not.
11. Create the Supr BOM and Super Routing and attach the dependences in the respective and check whether your bom components and required operations are picking or not in CU50.

Need help on variant configuration
Hi Guru,
Here we need to use variant configuration.But i am new in variant configuration.Can somebody tell me the different steps of variant configuration from PP side.I have gone through standard document. But still i need this information. The Industry in which I am going to implement this,is producing Colored, profiled sheet to provide roofing solution.The metal roofing sheet can have different profile, different colour, different thickness, different width and so on.They have nearly three thousand of different combination.
Please respond.

RajibHi,
Pls. find herewith Variant Configuration Procedure steps as below
VARIANT CONFIGURATION:
1.Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
2.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).
3.Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
4Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.
5Now 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.
6.Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save).
7.Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save.
8.Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save).
9.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.

Production Order BOM with Variant Configurable Material
Hi,
I have a requirement to process the document items in the Production Order BOM for a variant configurable martial. I am not sure which Function Module will do this purpose. I checked the FM: CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 and does not seem to be working.
Can you please help me with a suitable Function Module or program that will process the Production Order BOM? Appreciate Your Help.
Thanks,
Kanan
Edited by: Kannan SA on Jul 6, 2011 8:59 PMWhat are you doing with the characteristics right now ?
If you want operations selected based on characteristic values, you need to have dependencies written just like you do (or in your case, will do) in your BOM components.
I understand the business-push to not do things 100% at the start and just "oh we'll add that part later" but I would really push back to get that part included initially. -
Tolerance Limits for Class Character in Variant Configuration
HI all,
We are Using Variant Configuration, for this we have linked MIC's to Class character, When The Inspection Lot is created the Lower & Upper Limit in the specification comes as the character Value.it does not takes in to consedration the tolerance key assigned to it. For E.g. Charater Dia has value 20, & in the Tolerance key for 20 +/- 0.10 is maintained, when the Inspection lot is created the Upper & lower Limit comes as 20-20 instead 19.9 - 20.1
I have gone through SAP Note 210658, the sample code provided in note is for "Material Specification" I have tried the same with minor code correction the specifications in the lot comes as desired i.e. specifications in the lot consider the tolerance key.
Our Requirment is of task list, in the same not EXIT for task list is also mentioned but no souce code is provided, when we are using the above program (Used for Material Specification) after doing the desired changes, & when we run in de-bugging mode it shows all the calculations are being done, but finally in the lot specification appear as the charater value ( 20-20) & in the inspection lot One first MIC comes it delete's all other MIC's assigned in the Plan.
Has any body worked on this requirment, please let me know how to do the same, & if any body has used EXIT_SAPLQPAP_001 (Enhancement QPAP0001.)Plese provide me with the soution if any one has worked on it.
Thanks & Regards

Why don't we do the confirmation in variant configuration?
Hello guys,
As far as i know that in variant configuration we don't do the confirmation, we directly do the goods receipt.Is it right?If yes than why?
Following are the steps we do while doing the variant configuration scenario:
1)First we create the characteristics and give the values inside it.
2)Then we create the class of class type 200 and give characteristics defined in it.
3)Then we create the variant of class type 300 and give all the characteristics inside it.
4)Now we create the configurable material with Basic data 1,2, MRP 1,2,3,4 , Classification view ,workscheduling view.
In classification view, we give the variant of class type 300.So it shows all the characteristics and its value over there.There we select all the values.
5)Now we create the super bom of configurable material and in class tab we give all the classes of class type 200.Here even we can maintain the dependencies if we define all the characteristics value in item tab.
6)Then we create the super routing and inside it we give all the possible operations inside it.Right now my routing contains operations which are necessary all the times.
7)Then we create the configurable profile for configurable material of class type 300.
8)Now we give the requirement in md81 for configurable material and there we select the characteristics values which we want.
9)After that we run the mrp for configurable material and it generates procurement proposals(planned order) for it.
10) Afer this we convert this planned order into production order and release it and save it.
11) After this we do the goods receipt for the production order in mb31.Because of this it shows the stock of sales order as production order qty.
This procedure my tutor has taught me.Have i missed any steps or am i wrong somewhere?If that the case than plz guide me.if you can generate a production order then you can always confirm it according to SAP PP logic.
we use variant configuration for the manufacturing of complex products. once the component quantities and
operation are selected for a particular variant and copied to Production order, the rest of the process is same
as normal Production Control. Revert back with any queries you have.

Creation of sales order with Variant configuration info
Hi friends,
I am creating sales order along with Variant configuration data. We have 3 level BOM structure.
I am using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 and filling in ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_PART_OF ORDER_CFGS_VALUE, ORDER_CFGS_REFINST
tables exactly the same way BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST FM returns.
Sales order is being created with no variant configuration information.(Not in the header level atleast)
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks
SeshagiriUpdating Variant Configuration data for SO item became little tricky for us in an ongoing implementation. After spending some hours investigating the correct combination of data to pass, we were able to post the document correctly. As no detailed documentation is available online for this scenario, I hope this post will help community for similar requirements. J
For updating Variant configuration (VC) data for Sales order item, we need to populate below tables of standard FM or BAPI (e.g. SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE).
Normally the standard FM or BAPI does not return any error messages in case configuration data is not updated successfully.
· SALES_SCHEDULES_IN: The required date field should be populated with appropriate value (REQ_DATE).
· SALES_ITEMS_IN: Field PO_ITM_NO should be populated with appropriate value.
· SALES_CFGS_REF Table:
1. This table should have 1 record per item.
2. Combination of CONFIG_ID and ROOT_ID should be unique across line items.

Error in Variant Configuration CO684
Hello, friends !
Back in the forum, now with a problem in Variant Configuration.
I was able to carry out the whole process up to the creation of the production order. There I have the error message CO 684 "You cannot make an assignment to make to order stock" .
All the configuration stuff seems to be OK.
I created a sales order configuring the product.
The MRP creates a planned order in the Customer Segment of the MD04.
The components have the special stock E.
I have tried with stock available in warehouse and also tranferring to E using MB1B movement type 412 E.
But the error still remains !!
Any tip or clue ??
Thanks in advance.
DarioRajesha,
for the KMAT we have:
strategy group: 25
Individual: 1
In the sales Order:
Item Category: TAC
Requirement Type: KEK (in the procurement Tab); class should be 046.
However, in the controlling for sales order there is no entry for:
TAC " " 046 , only for Class 041, in the Assignment of Requirements Type to transaction.
In the planned order: Account Assigmnment: M (it takes from strategy 25)
Settlement Profile (In the order Type) SD1.
Result Analysis Key: ?? (where can I find it??)

Sales Order text for Variant Configuration
Hello
I have researched my issue and also have asked other peers for guidance. I feel that I am really close to getting my issue to work but I am not sure what I am missing, so I am hoping that someone can give me some advice as to what to check please. See below for the description.
My issue is in reference to SD Variant Configuration and is outlined below.
Overview
Main Unit is a radio test set
Test set can have an upgraded software
Example
Model 6015 u2013 standard test set
Model 6015T u2013 Upgraded software test set
Model 6015V u2013 Upgraded Software + test Set
Requirement
Use same Material Number using Variant Configuration for the upgrades
Price is to default to the Upgraded price
NOTE:
Our materials are already established and are set up as material type Finished Goods; ERLA item category; sales order item category is a copy of TAC. I am using a Configurable Material type KMAT, item category 0002 and linking to the FG material item category ERLA in the material master.
I have created the Material Variant (KMAT) in MM01
Created the characteristic in CT04
Created Classification in MM02 for material FG
Created Super BOM for Configurable Material in CS01 and added the upgrades as Alt Bom 2 for upgrade and 3 for Upgrade+. Also added the Alt BOM text
Created Profile of configurable material in CU41
For the Material I added the configurable material to MRP 3 screen in MM02
Created the BOM link in CS40
I simulate the material in CU50. I enter my material; select the icon for configuration, I can see the characteristic Value Assignment nad see my characteristics Description. I go to the value and use the drop down I then see the pop up of all the different values.
I have created Characteristic Reference VCSD_UPDATE_ARKTX with table VCSD_UPDATE and field ARKTX - no values
I have created a characteristic Test_Choice with the 2 values one is Test Upgrade 1 and the other is Test Upgrade 2. Both of these have the description as well.
For Material Text:
I have set up a reference characteristic using 30 character format (named VCSD_UPDATE_ARKTX),
with table name VCSD_UPDATE and field name ARKTX.
Then in the Configuration Profile(CU42) for configurable material, added a procedure(named PR_PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION) to the dependencies which contains code that sets the description
$self.VCSD_UPDATE_ARKTX = ''Test Upgrade 1u201D
If $self.TEST_CHOICE = Test_Upgrade_1,
$self.VCSD_UPDATE_ARKTX = ''Test Upgrade 2u201D
If $self.TEST_CHOICE = Test_Upgrade_2,
When Entering the sales order for Material Number XXXXXX, I receive a pop up that I can select which Alternate BOM (from CS02) I would like. I select my line item and then select the configuration icon at the bottom of the sales order. I see again my characterestics values (the same as CU50) but am unable to select the radio button. Not sure if this part is standard. Still no change in the sales order line item. I have validated that I am using a copy of the standard TAC item category. How does the text change to the correct value? Am I missing a seeting somewhere. Please provide any guidance with this as I have been trying to get this to work for over a month.
Thank you for your time. It is greatly appreciated.I have figured out that this will work if I go to the standard material (it is not KMAT but it is a FERT material type) and set the flag in the Material Master Basic Data 2 tab that this is a configurable material and not use KMAT material type for a super BOM. The text changes for this scenario so it give me hope.
This is not ideal, as I want to use the Super BOM because there are different variations (non stock items) that I need to pull through on the picking list in order to tell the end user which option needs to be loaded in the standard material. At least I know the text can change on the sales order; but I am still struggling with the use of the super BOM and changing the sales text when there is use of a super bom as you tie that to the MRP 3 screen of the FERT material type. I can set everything up, but the text will not change if I set up the material master this way. Guidance is appreciated.
Example
Material 72433 (FERT)
on sales order I enter 72433, my alternate BOM comes up with different Options. Alternate BOM 1 is standard configuration; My Alternate BOM 2 has Option 3 and 4 while alternate BOM 3 has option 5 and 6. Alternate BOM 2 is a 6015T and Alternate BOM 3 is a 6015V.
I want my sales order to pull through the text of 6015T or 6015V, whichever is chosen. I want my picklist to print out the option that was selected. -
Create a production order with variant configurator data
Hello,
Can anyone tell me the way to create a production order with variant configurator data. Is there a BAPI ? an IDOC ?
Is there several steps ?
I have to create an interface which creates automatically PP orders. The data input is a file.
Thanks for your helpHi,
There are fews BAPI's available for creation of Production Order. They are:
BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE
This bapi will suit to your requirement, as input will be provided from file.
Others are
BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_PLORD " this converts planned order to production order
BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF " this creats production order considering other production order as reference.
Hope your query is answered.

How to create Variant Configuration Material Master in SAP PP
Dear Friend's,
Pl 's guide me for How to Create Variant Configuration Material Master.
Give me step by step procedure for Creation of Variant Configuration.If some of you having screen shots for the same with one Example, that will be a very helpful to me for creating VC.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep N.TheurkarHi,
Eg: Ford car.If a sale order is raised for fiesta lxi model the system should choose red colour & for vxi blue colour respectively.
ie you need to define the characteristic and assign the values .
This characteristic need to assigned to class.
class need to be assigned to material master
1. T.code : CT04(characteristic) FORD_MODEL, Choose single value & entry required tab & give the input as 01 - fiesta_lxi & 02 - fiesta_vxi.( characteristic values)
2.Tcode: CT04, FORD_BODY( another characteristic)
Choose single value , don't click entry required.
01 - Red( characteristic values)
02- Blue
3. Create class T.code : CL02
fiesta_class
type : 300
4. OBJECT DEPENDENCY:
T.CODE : CT04
FORD_MODEL
CLICK VALUES TAB,
IN FIESTA_LXI CLICK THE 'O' meant for Obj dependency, action & extra.
Edit the dependecy,
010 $Self.ford_body = '01'. & save
Repeat the same for FIEST_VXI & instead of '01' give '02' for blue colour.
, then create a ROH as ford_body. & a KMAT material for the car. .
Then create a Super BOM with usage 3 & give component as ford_body
Then use T.code cu41 (Create config profile)
enter a profile name & class 300 & choose class assignment, choose fiest_class ,
Use T.code cu50 to check the values.
Then create a sale order.
Pl. reward if helpful.

Consuming Material Having Variant Configuration
HI
We are using Variant Configuration for our semi finished product and its
batch managed.There are two plants in one plant say A and B. In A plant
we are using Variant configuration.The same material is stock transferred
to plant B and is further processed.
We are creating CIR in plant B. After taking MRP run we are converting
planned order to purchase requisition and subsequently Stock transfer
purchase order on Plant A. When the material is produced in plant A,it is
transferred to plant B on stock transfer order mentioned above. But the
material is against CIR in plant B. We remove the material from CIR
through 411E movement and system keep it as free stock in unrestricted.
Now when i am consuming this material for further processing in
production order of Material getting manufactured system is asking me for
Variant Characteristics.
System should not ask me variant characteristics once it has been removed
from CIR i.e. special stock.
Any Work around avilable.

Anand.Hi Anand,
Finally, I could understand your issue from your CSS message.
In your description, AA is configurable material in both plant A and plant B, BB is not a configurable material in plant B, AA is a component of material BB, so when you produce BB, there will be dependent requirement generated for AA from BB, now you want to use the stock of AA to fullfill the dependent requirement, however, the system will require you to enter the characteristic at that time.
Then where is the stock of AA comes from? I have mentioned this in my previous reply. But as I have mentioned it is not correct to have unristricted stock for the configurable material, therefore, your process to have free stock of AA is not correct.
Another point is that, your process to have configurable material as a component of a non-configurable material is also not proper.
For example, material BB is a Car, material AA is the Door of the Car, your Car is not configurable, but the Door is configurable, you may have green door and red door according to the configuration, but as your car is a firmed material then what's the meaning to have different door, if you want to have different door, then that means you also need to have different color of the car, like green door for green car, red door for red car, then that means your car should be also a configurable material to make you can select the color of the car too.
Or if your Car is a firmed material as green car, then do you think there is any meaning to configure the door of the car? Unless you do want a red door for a green car, but this can also be realized with a configurable car.
So normally, like your situation, you should use multi-level configuration structure to do the production in make to order scenario.
Therefore, still the problem has been described in my previous reply, no matter how you get the stock of AA, the AA is produced with the configured configuration module, so the stock of AA is also with the configuration data, then no matter how you want to consume the stock of AA, system will always ask for the characteristic of the requirement to compare it with the stock configuration to see if they are same.
For example, you are producing your Car, but as far as I can see you should have no place to configure the door in production order, therefore when you try to consume the door, the system will of course need to know which color you want, because if you want red door but there is only stock of green door, then how the system should do in your opinion?
Then finially, the best way of solving your issue is to have material variant for the configurable material, like the door, you may have material variant as green door and red door, if your firmed Car is green car, then you can use green door as the firmed component, if your firmed Car is red car, then you can use red door as the firmed component, also when you do the production, you could simply produce the green door directly without configure the door, because the material variant is a stockable item but the configurable material is not, then your scenario would be very simple and there will no such problem any more.
If you do still want to keep your scenario, but don't want the system requires you enter the charateristics, then you may have to do the modification of the goods movement transaction to disable that, but it may lead to the inconsistency situation, like actually you want red door, but what you have in stock is green door, without that, you may consume the green door stock for the red door requirement, then it will mess up all the following process.
Also as you are doing the goods movement in MM transaction, so if there is user-exit could be used to change this behavior is decided by MM function, however, base on my checking there will be no such user-exit to control this behavior at MM side, because the consequnce is really dangerous for the system operation.
Therefore, I think the best way for you is still adjust your production scenario to make your production standard, then SAP system will accept that standard production scenario under your requirement.
Thanks and regards,
Rachel
