Variant Configurator / BAPI Create

Were building a web interface to our R/3 Variant Configurator. Our product is complex and requires us to create Inquiries with nested configurable materials. Were having a couple of issues and Im hoping someone might be able to point us in the right direction. A couple of questions
1) As mentioned we have nested configurable materials. We satisfy the first level characteristics by passing cfg_ref_in with the POSEX of the first level item (00010). Based on these characteristic/values further configurable materials maybe exploded on the order and we wont know their position. We also have characteristics for those nested materials however we dont know their POSEX in the document so it doesnt appear were able to pass their characteristics during the create process. In the case of nested configurable materials where youre uncertain of their POSEX is it a two pass operation? Meaning configure the first material (00010) , let it explode, then save, then update the document and pass the nested material characteristics?
Please tell me Im missing something and there is an easier way.
2) Were using SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE we also see BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA2. What is the difference? BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA2 appears to call SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE.
Thanks in advance.

Variant configurator BAPI

I need to find a BAPI for the variant configurator for a sales order. To further explain, if you go to VA03 and view a sales order. Then highlight a line item and click on the "Item Details: Configuration" icon (last one on the right under the line items). I need to, somehow, relate a the line item to these characteristics (variant configurator).

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.

Hi,
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.

Variant Configuration / Need for a separate forum

Dear Moderators,
I have been contributing, accessing and extracting information from this forum for my projects and trainings. Recently we have added lot of new forums especially in SD, a separate forum for billing, sales etc.
On the same path, I feel that it will add immense value if a new forum for Variant Configuration is created. As this is an area which touches various modules, and various applications like configurable materials in SD, Release procedures in MM, etc, people can share all the information regarding variant configuration in a common forum like this.
May I please request you to consider this and take it forward if this makes some sense.
Any feedback on this is welcome, especially from people like Rajesh Banka, Laxmipathy etc who have been here for quite sometime in SD

I'm going to respectfully disagree.
I saw something similar at elementsvillage.com when they created a "Mac-Specific" forum. People who had questions that really had nothing to do with their Mac, for example "Can't open RAW from D7000", still put the question in the Mac-Specific forum, because they were using a Mac. As a result, the community was fragmented in ways that had nothing to do with the question. People who might have benefited from this question but didn't have a Mac and so didn't look in the Mac-Specific forum, and didn't get the answer as quickly. People who asked questions in this forum that had nothing to do with Macs wound up relying on a smaller community of experts to help solve the problem. I know I certainly never read that forum, so I didn't provide answers, nor did I learn from the information in that forum. I consider that decision to create a "Mac-Specific" forum to be a failure.

Variant configuration question????

Hi gurus,
I have done variant configuration. Created a configurable material, created class and characteristics.
E.g. My configurable material is a door. The characteristics are Colour/Size/Type etc.
The values are: Colour:Green/Red - Size:2m/2.5m(wood) - Type: Small/big
I want to order from suppliers Red colour, Green colour, wood etc and keep them in stock.
How can I connect values with materials Red colour, Green colour etc in order to reduce their stock every time a Sales Order takes place????
How can I say for example that Green reduces 2kg and Red 3kg of the stocked colours? or for example the small wood 2 square m /the big 3 sqm?????etc
I do not want to use PP and MRP...I do not want a Production order to be created for every Sales order, I want for Every Sales Order the Stock of raw materials to be reduced..
Thank you in advance.

Hi Theodoros
Steps for Variant Configuration in SD
Some light on Variant Configuration in Detail.
Generally, in SD variant is effectively used for pricing for variant. The following configuration with example will be able to assist you in same regard.
The procedure is as follows:
u2022 Create a Material - KMAT as Material Type with Item Category - 002 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 SDCOM 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)
u2022 Now go to Condition Record using TCode VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition)(For Std RVA001 Pricing Procedure) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.
u2022 Activate the variant configuration in Sales Document make the above effective or in use.
Hope this helps you

BAPI to create variant configuration T-Code CU41

Hi,
I am looking for standard BAPI to create variant configuration T-Code CU41.
Please let me know if anybody come across the same.
Thanks,
Bala Raja

Hey,
There are no full proof BAPIs delivered by SAP to create work orders.
You might want to explore BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN but this BAPI has several limitations. Read the documentation of the BAPI for more information.
The best option is to record IW36 and create the suborder using CALL TRANSACTION.

BAPI for Creating Sales Order For Variant Configuration Materials

Dear Gurus,
Before posting this thread, we have referred many SDN threads, OSS notes and other sites for any sort of help..but no success..All threads and other referrals are not much of help as they are kind of incomplete( Perhaps, we are unable to understand them..no offense).
Few checked threads on this subjects are:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/120144
OSS: 549563
Well, we're using the BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2) which creates the sales order successfully but without the characteristic values in line items.
We're passing data to the following parameters - ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_VALUE to create the variant config but not able to see it getting created.
Pls find attached BAPI coding document for your reference.
If you could throw any light on this issue will be of great help for us.
Thank You in Advance!!!
Reg,
Jagan-SD.

Jagan nath
Try below.
you would need miimum of 3 segments to pass variant config data using this bapi
ORDER_CFGS_REF for each configurable item
POSEX = ITEM #
CONFIG_id , root_id - Start with 1 and increment it for each configurable line item
ORDER_CFGS_INST
CONFIG_ID - from above
INST_ID - Start with 1 and increment it for each configurable line item
OBJ_TYPE = "MARA'
CLASS_TYPE = '300'
OBJ_KEY = material #
ORDER_CFGS_VALUE
CONFIG_ID for the item, INST_ID for the item
charc for characteristic value
VALUE for characteristic value

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 help

Hi,
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.

Brajvir

Save variant configuration data with BAPI or FM

Hi experts,
I created a PP production order by using a configured material.
I can see internal object number in table AFPO-CUOBJ.
I'd like to change and save a value of characteristics by using ABAP.
Could you tell me it if there is a BAPI or FM to save values of characteristics in variant configuraion?
BR,

you can chnage the variant configuration data using below bapi with strcture    order_cfgs_value      =

Bapi for creation of quotation for variant configuration

Hi all,
I have done a BAPI to create a quotation with variant configuration.
I am not getting the right field in the structure of the bapi item to upload the required quantity of the variant material.
The value for the quantity is getting as 0.
Can you please help to upload the quantity in the variant item.
any ideas?
Thanks and Regards,
Kiran.

i am not clear what youn are looking for.
Say material X is KMAT,
Material Y you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values
Material Z you have created as a variant of X by entering the conf material X in MRP3 view and setting the char values different than Y
Now Y and Z are material variants of X, now tell me exactly what you are looking for?

Accessing a variant configurated transaction thro BAPI?

Hi,
The transaction Create Quotation (VA21)has been subjected to variant configuration.
In case i try to execute the same process with the help of BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA, to what extent is it possible to replicate this variant configuration. This BAPI does contain Tables like ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_PART_OF, ORDER_CFGS_VALUE. But documentation abt these tables isnt available.
Any experience with similar situations?
Best Regards
Meesum

Hi Meesum,
This problem comes up quite a bit. Have a look at the following two threads:
Re: Configure Materials using BAPI
BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA - Item Configuration
Hope that helps.

Error message while creating configurable material for variant configuration.

Dear All,
I want to create configurable material for the purpose of variant configuration. When trying to create configurable material using mm 01 or mm k1, it is displaying an error message that internal number assignment is not possible for the material type configurable materials as well in using external number also. Can anyone specify the steps to be done in creating the configurable material. Thank you all.
Regards
