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

Where used list for variant configuration

Hello,
We use a lot of configurable BOMs in our company. In the case of deleting a material we need to know where the material is used. Is there a possibility to find out where a material is used in multi levels.
For example a material is used for producing raw material this material is processed again to a more specified product and this product is processed again. We need to explore 3 variant configurations ...
We need to display the bom level by level bottom up. If a material is part of an assembly which is part of a material we need to display it somehow.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Christiane Hetzenauer

dear Friend ,
See there are 2 things material used in BOM direct assigment
another is material is bond to BOM via a characterstic value.
so if you want to see how many materials have values 123 attached to there classic=fication view search through MM02 search via class , select the class and inout the value for example "01" it will return with all the materials which have value 01 attach to this class , in the same way you can use CL30N search objects assign to class.
in your example
For the BOM motor cycle the materials R123 B456 and Y789 are assigned.
If i search in CS15 for 123 I get as example , also use tick classes in the first screen of CS15
R123
B456
Y789
then you will only get R123 motorcycle as result.
Check and revert back.

How to Create Sales Order using BAPI with Variant configurations

Hi All,
I need to create a sales order using BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 with Varaint confiugartions. I will get Header ITEM and variant configuration items in the flat file. Kindly help me in this regard.
One more thing, is there any way to findout all the Varaint classifications for a particular Material?
I have done the below coding. Sales order is getting created but variant configurations are not populating.

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.

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.

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.

GSL.

Multilevel variant configuration without BOM explosion

Hi!
We have the following problem:
We use BOMs with variant configuration in SD and NO BOM explosion. Means, enter the BOM-head material in the SD line, go to the configuration screen and configure the multilevel BOM. There are classes and attributes on every level in the multilevel BOM structure.
After finishing the variant configuration, we save the SD order. If we enter the new SD order again with VA03 and go to the configuration of the SD line, the system forgot every attribute value on levels other than the BOM-head. We see the structure of the selected BOM materials, but no previously entered configuration value on other levels.
Do we make something wrong, or is this a SAP standard "feature" ?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
This is a standard feature.The values which you will select for the configurable material,you will not able to see when you got to VA03.
Reward points if helpful.

Product Modelling Environment - Variant Configuration

Hi Experts,
Can any one please let me know how to use PME for Variant configuration in CRM. If possible can any one please give me document or link related to PME.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
Please find below a brief:-
A product model contains the configuration model data relevant for one product which is a server based Architecture.
-A knowledge base is a container for data and can contain many PMEs
-PME is available in Product page
-Need to insert and create a new product model and select the model and enter product related data.
-Create KB's
-Will have to define the characterstics and values and assign to class
-Product model hierarchy shows the model in tree structure.
-After you created the hierarchy with all details you can simulate the configuration as a result titile simulator pops up where you can see the status and Variants and your current selection.

Preparation of Cost Sheet using Variant Configuration

We have a requirement which needs to be configured in Standard SAP using variant configuration ( as Suggested by our client ) without using any customized functionality the scenarios is as fallows:
Preparation of Cost Sheet:
Company XX needs to procure material M1 (Like Cartons) for Plant A, plant B which is manufactured by Primary Vendor PV1, PV2.
The price for procurement of material M1 has to be determined using cost sheet
Primary Vendor PV1, PV2 Procures Raw materials and Packaging materials required to manufacture material M1 from Secondary vendor SV1, SV2, SV3
The rates of these materials are added into cost sheet as cost of components.
The rate for these materials varies depending on quota allotted for that particular
Secondary vendor SV1, SV2.
Cost sheet consists of
Cost of Component materials required for mfg Material M1( These components called Feed stock
Materials are procured by secondary vendor)
Working Capital of Primary Vendor
Conversion cost
Discounts
Surcharges
Transportation cost
ETc.....
Well Thanks in Advance....

hi Rav,
as you said i have configured the system and it is working fine.
but the problem is, when creating sales related documents only Sales BOM selection should happen i.e. characteristics which have values related sales must only be shown to the sales person where he makes required selection.
other materials/assemblies which are also configurable and which make complete production BOM are selected by the production person.
what selection a production planner makes must not be shown to the sales person.
for eg; if you want to purchase a color printer you only tell sales guy , i want a color printer which can print at least 10 pages / min. you will not tell him what printer should be made of, what ICs or what PCBs it must have. and also company management may not wish to show all things to the customer/sales person.
if this is the situation how it can be mapped?
alternative item concept can be used, but for a single material if there are 3 or 4 alternatives, will it work properly??
Regards,
Pavan

BOM explosion using variant configuration

Hi
I have a material (LAPTOP) and it has two BOM(RAM and HARD DISK).
LAPTOP is my main material.
Through VA01, when I try creating a Sales Order, I give the Material as LAPTOP and when I click "Configuration" menu, I will be showing the Variant Configuration Characteristic values for this material (LAPTOP) namely RAM and HARD DISK.
When I select them and come back to VA01 scree, I could see both the sub materials (RAM and HARD DISK).
But my question, I want to see only the one which I select. If I select RAM, then only RAM shoudl be displayed in my sales order not HARD DISK.
I have created the Characteristics as "Multiple Value" assignmetn
Please help.
Thanks in Advance,
Priya

Hi Priya,
Use Dependency concept ,to achieve your requirement.

Is it possible to use variant configuration (with a Non-SAP solution) when creating ERP sales orders in SAP CRM WebUI

Hello,
our customer plans to use a Non-SAP solution for variant configuration (Camos) in SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) and in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 as well.
ERP sales orders (and ERP quotations) should be created in SAP CRM (CRM WebUI).
Is it possible to use variant configuration (with an external variant configuration tool) when creating ERP sales orders and quotations in the SAP CRM WebUI or do we have to implement SAP IPC for this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AEV

Dear AEV,
I think LORD (lean orders) should work with variant configuration as well. In the note 1236015 there is not restriction listed. However you need lord2 activated in ECC, and ECC system should be on EHP4.
Best regards
Rene

Using ALE to synchronize Variant Configuration data from Production to Dev

SAP Gurus,
We are trying to move away from opening our production environment every time with need to add new Variant configuration for products.
In order to do so, we need to ensure that our development and staging systems are in line with production LO-VC data. We have been looking at a possible ALE solution but I would like to get other suggestions.
Any thoughts you may have with regards to either pros and cons of ALE, or another solution we may have overlooked. If your clients are transporting Variant Configuration to production, what method are they currently using to ensure data consistency between environments.
Our landscape currently has two production environments for two separate business lines but both use LO-VC therefore we would like to standardize the process.
Thanks and Regards,
Kevin Webb
SAP SD Senior Consultant

Hi Webb,
General its a complex process to transport VC but for system consistency you can:
1. do the changes Manually in each system
2. Use ALE idoc process to transport.
But ALE transport generally used for fresh VC transport, if the VC already present in transporting system, it may cause inconsistency. Hence if you want to transport some changes then I can suggest you to do MANUALLY.
But if you are transporting VC freshly in each system, go for ALE.

Configuration management (LO-CM) used with Variant configuration (LO-VC)

Hi
I am new to SAP, working with Variant configuration (LO-VC).
I wish to enforce configuration management during development of a new Variant configurator.
Would Configuration management (LO-CM) work together with Variant configuration (LO-VC)?
My expectation is that SAP Configuration management (LO-CM) will work similar to solutions like e.g. MsVisualSourceSafe, SubVersion, CVS, IBM/Rational ClearCase etc. in the software development domain.
best regards Henrik

Hi Amber
Thanks a lot for answer, and please apologize my late response.
I am not confused by the term 'configuration', being used in two different meanings.
(1) Variant configuration (VC) is the dicipline of creating product variants by making a set of choises from the characteristics describing the product. A complete and consistent set of choises is a 'configuration'.
(2) Configuration Management in the 'traditional' software development meaning: Software Configuration Management (SCM). E.g. Microsoft VisualSourceSafe, IMB/Rational ClearCase, Subversion etc. are examples of tools used for the kind of SCM I wish to apply to VC models.
My confusion is whether the SAP CM that I can read about in the SAP online help, is similar to traditional SCM, and whether it can be applied to VC models.
I wish to apply SCM to a VC model. All the objects that together make up the VC model may then each exist in various versions (version control). A complete set of the objects (in a given version) make up a configuration of the VC model.
What is achieved is : you can control the development of VC model in just the same way that all serious software is under the control of SCM. This will allow an evolution of the VC model, like e.g. version 1.0 is released in January, then version 1.1 is released in June. A major upgrade of the model may become version 2.0 in December etc. The 'source code' (the objects) of each of the versions can be retrieved at any time from the SCM system. Also with SCM several developers may work on the same VC model at the same time, and merge their individual work into the same model.
This is very different from todays VC model development. In todays VC model development, only one version exists, that is 'todays version'. Any change to the model is released immediately, and you can undo model changes only if you remember what it was like a little while ago.
We do develop and test VC models in one SAP system, and then move them to the production system. This is however still very far from the benefits of SCM.
best regards
Henrik Saugbjerg

User Exit - VA01 / VA02 Sales Order, using Variant Configuration Fields

Hi,
I'm doing a user exit for creating / changing a sales order (VA01/VA02), and in my program I'm trying to use the characteristic values in variant configuration: Extras -> Configuration.
I know there's a whole bunch of data in SAPMV45A, but I can't seem to find what I need. Structure RV45A is the closest I can find, but the characteristic name / value fields appear empty during the execution of the user exit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

R u creating your own user exit or using the ones which are available for VA01/VA02?
If you can use existing ones, to get the more details abt them, please have a look at below link.
