Variant config for MM quotation comparison

Question

Hi Experts
I have used MM config functionality for a requirement as described below:
I need to specify characteristics values for an equipment in Quotations from vendor. This is required for technical evaluation in addition to commercial evaluation.
Hence, i marked the material as configurable and not as batch managed.
Then i could maintain characteristic vlaues in respective quotation against charateristics for the class of type 300.
Since the material is not batch managed, there are no characteristic values seen in GR. This is OK for me.
But my querry: Is there any issue with this usage?
warm regards

hi
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
