Variant Config - FM which does similar to CU50 with result back

Hi Experts,
I want a report or an API which does the process of variant confiruation and gives the result back.
(ie) without using CU50 or VA01/VA02 i need to do the process explicitly . When i pass the material and plant etc to that API it has to allow us to config like set values to charactesritics and saving etc, if everything sucessfully configured need result config data back if not exception. Can it be done if yes please suggest how.
Regards,
Raju

Hi Raju,
Did you get the solution for this problem i am having same problem.
Can you please let me know you get any FM or other solution.
Regards,
Ankit Rai

In other words jQuery mobile does not generate code with result can not test Apps in dw cs6

from the time compiled in phonegap dw c6 tools and tested from dw the App in Android sdk, for a jQuery mobile App the, code in split/Live is the same as split/Live/Live Code.... in other words jQuery mobile does not generate code with result can not test Apps in dw cs6, but design shown without jQ mobile generated code, well?

well, jQuery mobile stopped to generate code with result can not test Apps in dw cs6, but design shown without jQ mobile generated code, well (neither generated code seems nor design as seem in mobile)....????

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.

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 - Changing char value on Prod Order component

Experts,
We have a situation where we need to manually add Material Variants as components on a given Production Order's component list. This is in cases where stock for the material variant is available & can be used.
We use ECC 6.0 with certain features of DIMP (SDUD) turned on for Mill Products (along with Variant Config). After adding the Material Variant on the Production Order, we want to edit/change/add characteristic values to the Class 300 characteristics. I've tested this & while it is possible for a configurable material, system does not allow to change char values on the material variant.
Does anyone know of a way to enhance the system in order to achieve this?
Thanks

Just a thought.
let's assume the characteristic you want is called CHAR.
Then create a dummy characteristic called DUMMY. Create values 'ASSIGNED' and 'BLANK' for DUMMY.
Create a dependency for the values of DUMMY
for 'ASSIGNED':
CHAR SPECIFIED
for 'BLANK':
NOT SPECIFIED CHAR
Then go back in each value of characteristic CHAR and create another dependency as follows:
DUMMY eq 'ASSIGNED'
that way the system should only display those values of CHAR for which DUMMY has a value...
It's a bit of a circular thought I know... Not implemented anything like it myself but it just might work

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

FM which does Palletization while creating TO

Hi,
I am trying to create and split Transfer order based on Palletization data in Material master. Do you know any FM which does that?
I am using L_TO_CREATE_TR to create TO but I did not find any field which considers Palletization.
Thank you,
Jagadish

Have a look at OSS note 774346. It's a composite note regarding Material Variants. There should be plenty of references to what you try to achieve.

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?

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?

Variant Config. stock valuation.

Hi all,
We have implemented variant config with controlling. Finished material is valued at Sale order stage (Sales order costing). While uploading the stock, some of the materials are valued at std. price maintained in the material master instead of sales order costing. These materials are not valued at Std. cost estimate (CK40N).
Can anybody suggest how to rectify these values? One option is to recost the material in VA02 but it will not overwrite the stock value.
I am also looking for a functionality whereby I can recost these materials in one screen instead of going into VA02 for individual Sales order.
Bhaven Selarka

Hi Bhaven,
Your problem is that you have "some of the materials are valued at std. price maintained in the material master instead of sales order costing".
I think it is important to understand the following concepts and test with your logistics folks:
If you are using material type KMAT for VC, then there should not be any standard price as KMAT does not allow Accounting views, only costing views.
The lower level BOM of FINISHED KMAT may or may not be KMAT. BOM may have dependent requirements or independent requirements. Please check with your planning folks. Dependent requirements are generally MTO stock valued from sales order cost. Independent requirements are generally MTS stock valued from material master cost estimate.
If BOM is structured in the above way, then when we load inventory, it will take the value depending on the settings in material master, whether it is MTS or MTO material and whether the requirements are dependent or independent.
Valuated sales order stock must be linked to a sales order. Just because the material is marked as MTO in planning strategy, it will not have sales order COST.
I think we have to load open sales order and do the GR receipt as part of cutover, so it takes the sales order cost for MTO Inventory. (Test with your logistics folks)
OR
If you are doing 561 for MTO material, then it should ask for sales order.(Test with your logistics folks)
One of the two above should work.
You can reach me [email protected]

Variant config in MM

Hi,
I need to map VC in MM side, i have went thru the blw link... where i need to work out on PO i.e how the characteristic values transferred from Sale order to PR and PO.
Re: Variant config in MM

Jay

Hi,
For variant config. in MM you have to use the comunication structure as MMCOM in additional data for charactoristics.
to configure follow the steps :
u2022     Create a Material - KMAT as Material Type with Item Category - 0002 by using TCode MM02
u2022     Create Charateristics using TCode CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
u2022     Create another Characteristics using TCode CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table MMCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)
u2022     Assign these two characteristics to a Class using TCode CL01 - ZBikeclass (Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
u2022     Then go to Configuration Profile using TCode CU41 select the material and enter the description click on the Class assignment, i.e., assign Zbikclass.
u2022     Now go back to Characteristic using TCode 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
u2022     Now go back go to Extras - Other Dependencies - Assignments and Assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
u2022     Now select Blue- go to Extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
u2022     Now go back go to Extras - Other Dependencies - Assignments and Assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
                     Create a condition type ( e.g. ZVAR) with variant condition tick.
u2022     Now go to Condition Record using TCode MEK1 - Enter ZVAR (Condition)(For created Pricing Procedure which contains the defined condition ZVAR) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the purchase order.
In the material tab new button will appear for configuration-- here you select the variant value ( value for the charactoristics - e.g. 'Red') - press enter and come back.
Check the pricing in condition tab.

Variant Config with Plng w/o Final Assembly case

Friends,
I have requirements to map Variant Config scenario for products that are Forecasted for the purposes of driving the dependent materials production/procurement.
The Finished configured part is forecasted for standard configuration, however, it is only assembled at the receipt of a Sales Order. The sub-assemblies/components are manufactured/procured in advance driven by the dependent demand frm parents PIR's. I can use Strgy 50 & make the matl configurable, but the system asks me to create Config Plng Profile to be able to create PIR's for it.
Want to know if there is a simpler way/strategy group with which I can manage the same? The configuration process itself is pretty straight forward, its the forecasting part that is creating the prblm to me.
Any ideas.

Guys,
I found the way out for this. It all depends on how can the business:
1. Forecast accurately on the diff configurations possible (Plng Profile & Table)
2. Can they produce good consumption history on the lower lvl assemblies/components
The following can be done based on the buss reqts:
Finished prod's planned with Strgy 25, assemblies with 70 or Use Strgy 56, 89 for char based plng. The latter are v complicated unless the data is available on usage probabilities of config paramters..
thanks

Variant Config w/o Batch Mgmt ?

Experts,
We are trying to implement Variant Config for our business & do not currently manage our products in Batches. I've done VC with Batch Mgmt earlier, however want to know if VC can be managed without batches. If so, what could be draw backs? Our variant config process is purely make to order, no material variants.
Your ideas on this pls
Cheers

Hi,
Below are the few issues which sparks immediately.
1. When you Produce materials , the characteristics values cannot be tracked at batch level.
2. The configuraiton will be available only in the sales order.
3. Tracking the configured product in the shop floor would be a huge task.
May be the list will grow as experts share their views.

Variant config and Dependencies

Hi All,
In Variant Config, for writting syntax code for dependcies, what is the approach? for "Procedure" and for "Precondition"
Br,
Krishna

Hi,
I can just give the way how you have to define the precondition in generic, but it depends on the context which you have to apply the condition.
$SELF.OBJECT = ' VALUE' IF CHARACRTERISTIC = ' VALUE'
In the above example Object is replaced by config material reg value and characteristic you will be knowing, the syntax should be carefully followed space, IF condition, single quote, after single quote no space but I have given to clarity and for better vision.

Planning w/o Final Assly for Variant Config matls

Experts,
I have a requirement where in my finished MTO Variant Config products have to be forecasted (at standard configuration, pre-determined BOM for the variant product) so that the dependent assemblies can be produced in advance. The assemblies & some components have huge lead times (22wks), hence the need to produce/procure them in advance. However, the assembly of the finished VC material will only be after the Sales Order is recvd for it.
I know strategies 56 & 89 allow me to plan based on char's, however, I'm looking for a strategy like 50 which will allow me to assemble the FERT right after the Sales Order has been recvd..Am I on the right track here?
Cheers

Andy,
Try 55
