Upload Global Dependency in Variant configuration

Hi,
Please suggest options to mass upload global dependencies in VC.
Regards,
Senthilkumar

Hello,
Can You please tell me how may Dependencies you want mass upload.?.
If you want to Update Large number of dependiencies better to use LSMW.
otherwise mannual change dependency.
Mass upload Dependency thorou LSMW is little bit complecated..so better to go Mannual updation.

Using dependancy in variant configuration.......

Hi
PP gurus..
Can u explain me wht is the convention of using"$" sign while creating dependancy in variant configuration.?

Hi Yogesh,
As Satish said, it is a syntax which is used to denote the start of a PROCEDURE in object dependencies. It is convention used to notify the compiler that the object dependency used is an PROCEDURE

Variant Configuration data upload

Hi Gurus
In Variant configuration is there any standard method followed to upload the data like characteristics,class,object dependencies
Please give me some detailed Data Uploading tips specific to Variant Configuration
thanks
K.Prabakaran

Hi Prabakaran..,
As per my knowledge it is not there. these are purly product specific.
but you can transfer Chracteristics, class, dependencies, configuration profile, dependences, tables, table contents, material master, super bom from one client to another through ALE.

Variant Configuration - Pricing issue

Hi,
Can anybody please help me out with the pricing issue which I am facing?
How can I increase the price by a certain percentage based on the value of another pricing condition VA00 and show it as a different pricing condition?
For example: VA00 for my product price shows 1000. Now on 1000, I want to calculate 30% and show it with a different pricing condition description such as "Surcharge". I cannot used a fixed price for lets say "Surcharge" because 1000 as product price is not fixed/static and will depend upon variant configuration and the "Surcharge" will also vary with it.
How can I please implement such a solution?
With best regards,
Sunil

Use the VA01 condition type for this. This is the standard condition type provided by SAP to address this issue. In your pricing procedure against VA01 give the From To as VA00.
Hope this helps.

Variant Configuration Dependency Language

Does anyone know a good reference to use when writing Variant Configuration Dependencies? I am interested in command syntax as well as structure of the dependency program.

For syntax reference you'll just have to use the SAP material. A google search will also provide some links with OD (Object dependency) examples.
As far as structure, if you mean line, character - spacing, there's nothing. Just structure so it is as readable as possible. If I have multiple AND / OR's I will break them into separate lines and use the ( ) a lot to ensure the statement's are interpreted correctly.

Copying Variant Configuration across sales order items

Hi,
We are working with SAP 4.7.
I have a requirement to default the variant configuration values entered within line 1 of the sales order entry process on to subsequent lines. i.e. defaulting initial values for the configuration.
Our users have to enter many variant line items on a sales order and within an individual order the variant characteristics will be very similar, therefore by defaulting these values to be the same as the previously entered line would be a considerable overhead saving.
However I am having difficulty accessing the variant values which have been entered in the first line item. I have looked at userexit_move_workarea_to_sdwa and userexit_get_field_from_sdcom, however I don't know if I am heading in the right direction. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

We are doing this with main-positions and subpositions. The sales clerk enters the main Position with all the characteristics, switches to the tab "Fast data entry" types in the main position, he wants to copy from and the material. There is a dependency which calls a function module which does the real work.
This works with 4.6B in 4.7 there is a psotion type global position which acts similiar.
Ok, now the code:
Dependency
pfunction Z_SD_WERTE_CHARACTERICS
(SD_VBAP_UEPOS         = SD_VBAP_UEPOS,
   STAERKE           = $self.STAERKE,
   BREITE              = $self.BREITE)
/code
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_SD_INHERITANCE'
     EXPORTING
          GLOBALS        = globals
     TABLES
          QUERY          = query
          MATCH          = match
     EXCEPTIONS
          FAIL           = 1
          INTERNAL_ERROR = 2
          OTHERS         = 3
/code
Z_SD_INHERITANCE
DATA: h_uepos LIKE vbap-uepos.
DATA: x_values TYPE ibco2_value_rec OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
-values.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
*-- Ausgabeverarbeitung
LOOP AT match WHERE atcio = 'O'.
*-- Konvertierung ATINN auf ATNAM
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM cabn WHERE atnam = match-varnam.
    CHECK sy-subrc EQ '0'.
    READ TABLE x_values WITH KEY atinn = cabn-atinn.
    IF     sy-subrc IS INITIAL AND
       NOT x_values-atwrt IS INITIAL.
      match-atwrt = x_values-atwrt.
    ELSEIF sy-subrc IS INITIAL AND
       NOT x_values-atflv IS INITIAL.
      match-atflv = x_values-atflv.
    ENDIF.
    match-atfor = cabn-atfor.
    MODIFY match.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFUNCTION.

Variant Configuration not updated in Sales Order

We've added new variant configuration and used an ECN with a current date; and the configuration does show up in the similator CU50; however, in the sales order, using this same ECN date or even tomorrow it will not pull in. If you use the following Monday as the requested delivery day, the new configuration will update. Does anyone have experience with this date delay?
Thank you,
Laurie
Global Electric Motorcars

In a Sales document, VC will use the BOM_Explosion date (STDAT ?) I'm going from memory here. Look for OSS notes, 'cuz it "depends" on where it gets that date, wether its the Requested delivery date, or something else.

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
Prathib

Hi 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.

Variant configuration-- syntax error in creation of object dependencies

In variant configuration when i try to create object dependency (tcode=cu01), after entering the dependency and also description when i enter the syntax in the source code it is giving error: error in syntax check for simple condition
I have entered syntax as : engine_cap in ('1000','1400','2000'), pls guide me with the solution to create object dependency

Dear, Shakeer
Please follow along with my very own config guide of variant config.
1)     Create a configurable Material Using KMAT u2013Material Type. Item Category 0002 and Item Category Group 0002. Go to classification tab-here you maintain the class type 300 and assign the class, we will create this shortly. (So after creating class come back into MM02 and input the class that you create in step 2.)
2)     Create a class in T-Code CL01. Use class type 300 for Variants. In this we assign the characteristics we will create shortly.
3)     Create characteristics in T-Code CT04. Create your characteristic like for example, Z_Type, Z_Model, and Z_Color.
4)     We must create a characteristic for the pricing. Example, Z_CarPrice inside this characteristic we must maintain. Table Name SDCOM, Field Name VKOND in the additional data tab. Also, go to restrictions tab and enter the class type 300 Variants. Now in order to make this pricing work for you, you must maintain (enter) all the values from the characteristics. For example, Red, Blue, Black, Honda, Toyota, GLI, XLI, and 2.0D.
5)     Now going back to the characteristics in CT04 change mode. Make sure Basic Data has *Multiple Selections circled. * Character Format has 26 and a check in case sensitive. Make sure in restrictions tab class type 300 Variants is present. Go back to Values and highlight the first one. Example, Red then go to Extras->Object Dependencies->Assignments You must maintain this code $self.Z_CarPrice=u2019Redu2019 in basic data make sure itu2019s released & procedure is filled in. Go back to dependency editor and paste the same code there after 000010 $self.Z_CarPrice=u2019Redu2019 and do this for each and every value. Very Important * Maintain configuration profile in T-Code CU41 for the material -> Priority 01, Variant Configuration, Class 300, status, Released 1, then click save. Note: If 2 conditions are inactive use class group A instead of B in SPRO for Condition type VA00.
6)     Go to T-Code VK11 and enter VA00 condition type. Enter all the values maintained in the characteristics for example, Red, Blue, Black, Toyota, Etc and enter the price then click on save. Now it should work fine in VA01. Make sure you have assigned the VA00 condition type in the pricing procedure.
Good Luck,
Muhammad Ali Lozada

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.Theurkar

Hi,
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.

Variant Configuration Issue

Hi
I want to pass one characteristic value description into other characteristic text value, which i am controlling with procedure dependency.
Currentely i can able to pass Chars value into other text chars with same value.
For examples
Char X    01 - Description A
             02 - Description B
             03 - Description C
Char Y : ( text free form field )
If i select Char A 01 in configuration then through dependency syntax I can able to pass '01' into char Y, but i want to pass A Description in place of char' value.
Please let me know how it is possible.
Vicky

Hi
I am facing issue in Variant Configuration functionality.
I am having 1 characteristic XYZ with values
1 - data
2- cable
3 - wire
Another characteristic is ABC with no value, it is text field.
Now in configuration of material if i select XYZ = 1 (data) then through procedure depedency i am passing a value 1 (same like XYZ). But i want to pass decription of characteristics value in char's ABC
means if i select XYZ = 1 then in char's ABC = Data should come instead of '1'.

Dependency is not configured in the schema resource Error (OSB)

Hi all,
I am using OSB(10gR3). I am using workshop IDE. I have copied few Xsds into a project. One schema which has an import throws an error
"dependency is not configured in the schema resource Error .Possible reason one or more import/include not set correctly."
Kindly help me in solving this error.
I am new to OSB,kindly share any good online resources I would be of great help for me.

"Edit References" button will appear on sbconsole. Upload it on sbconsole and you will be able to see the button.
If you open the XSD in the workshop (in design view), under "Directives" you will be able to see the imports. Click on any of them and in the "properties" tab below you would be able to see "Schema Location" (in General tab of properties). Click on browse button and it will ask whether you want to download it from a HTTP URL or want to refer from a existing workbench projects.

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.
Regards,
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
