Variant Configurator : Value set by user or dependency ?
Hi,
How can i determine whether a value in a characteristic in the variant configurator is set by a user or by a dependency ?
with regards
Erik
Hi,
When a variant is created , inthat particular screen, theres an option
Whether it is cretd by user or system.
And table name is RSVAR
field is TRANSPORT
Thanks,

Make diffrence between values set by user and others by binding
Hello, I'm working with comboboxes. Selected Value is sometime set by user and somtimes set by bindings. I have to launch actions only when the selected value is set by user. Is there any possible way to do it? Thank a lot.
If the value selected is dependent from the value chosen by user and depending on other data at once
This sounds like you have one variable representing two distinct things; but maybe your requirements somehow necessitate this.
Here's what I meant. I have a background thread (using a Timeline) which changes the combo box randomly every two seconds. (This is a mockup of your requirement of it depending on another value.) The output to the console happens only if the user changes the combo box manually.

PO EDI - How do I exclude a specific variant configuration value
Hello,
When sending POs via EDI we include our variant configuration values (segment E1CUCFG/E1CUVAL). There is one specific variant configuration we don't want to include as it's irrelevant to the vendor and keeps confusing them. We do need to send all the other variant configuration values. What would be the best way to do this?
Thank you,
MichaelNever mind, I found it.
MM06E001 / EXIT_SAPLEINM_013 allows me to modify E1CUVAL. -
Populating Variant COnfiguration value in ORDERS05
Hi,
I'm going to create Sales Order using ORDERS05 IDoc Type.Data coming from Non-SAP system consists of Variant Configuration data.I mean those data we have to place at the Item Level variant configuration area.Can anybody please tell me which segment I've to populate for the same? or if there is no segment for that then how we can achieve this........Is there any exit for the same?
Thanks in advance,
SarbajitHi Sarbajit,
There is a segment need to fill the structures XE1CUREF or XE1CUCFG (IDOC).For this pass characteristic name and it is values.In va01 if you seen it will pass description and it is value.I did this before and created order and quotation.
ORDER_CFGS_REG
POSEX 000010
CONFIG_ID 000001
ROOT_ID 000001
ORDER_CFGS_INST
CONFIG 000001

OBJ_TYPE MARA
CLASS 300
OBJ_KEY CONFIG-MATERIAL
CONFIG_ID 000001
INST_ID 000001
CHARC 'TURRET'
VALUE 1.
pass in this way to three structures.These are mandatory to fill if you have any issues please post.

Set a User Status depending on System Status
Hi,
I would like to activate a user status of the sales document depending on the Rejection Status.
Do you know how this could be done?
Thanks
Edited by: mforman on Feb 25, 2011 11:54 AMI've created a Status Profile with the Object Types: Sales Order header and Sales Order item.
But I don't know which Business Transaction I should allow/set in order to get this status set once a rejection reason is assigned to an item.
Any suggestion? Or workaround?

SD Variant Configuration - characteristic value computation
Hi Everyone
Greetings from Vinod
i am creating a variant material which has 3 characteristics. out of the 3 characteristics, 2 are inputed by the user and the third characteristic needs to be populated with the difference of the 2 chatacteristic values that we have entered before. is there a standard setting that we have to maintain, or should we do a custom development on the same. the third characteristic value which is computed based on the difference of the precious two characteristic will then derive pricing of the variant material. please throw some suggestions and inputs in this discussion.Hi,
calculating values of characteristics is done with so-called dependencies.
In a dependency you can define the rule how a value should be calculated.
You have to create a class of class type 300 and assign your characteristics to this class.
Assign the class to a material of material type "Configurable Materials".
Open the material with transaction PMEVC (Modeling Environment for Variant Configuration).
There you maintain a dependency of type procedure.
The source code may look like this for your example:
$SELF.CHARACTERISTIC_3 = CHARACTERISTICS_1 - CHARACTERISTIC_2

Variant Configuration including Bitmap
Hi there,
we using often small bitmaps to show the customers a hint to the selected articles. The output of SD Order are sapscript forms and we solve this with include of an Bitmap in sapscript article description.
Now i try to include such a bitmap in a variant configuration. If the user select a value 1 of a Characteristic ist should print bitmap xx, if the user select value 2 of a Characteristic ist should print bitmap yy and so on.
Is anyone who had solve such a problem or know how could i realize this in sapscript.
Is there a possibility to define a variable in the characteristics value or in the maintaining dependencies of a value?
While processing the variant configuration table in sapscript (loop at tkomcon conf_out = tkomcon) this could be done by an if then else statement. But i don't like to process this on all variant articles. So i search for a solution to sove this in the article description/variant characteristics depending on a selected value.
Thanks for help
Karl MuellerHi
1) A configurable material , let us say can have 1000 of variants based on the characteristics combination. Out of these 1000 variants we will be interested to stock only a few variants . This could be say 10 or 20, and for these only, we need to create material variants. Actually this process is similar to the creation of 10 or 20 new materials..but here by selecting the characteristics, we are creating the materials which are known as material variants.
Hence we will not be creating material variants for all possible combinations
2) For the material variants that we created, we plan, produce & stock the required quantities.During SO creation we enter the specification ie characteristics combination given by the customer. In Sale order itself we can make the system to check whether a material/stock exist for the given characteristics combination and assign the promise date suitably.

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'

QUERY = query
MATCH = match

RajibHi,
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.

Hi,
I have an issue where I want to add a descriptive flexfield. The flexfield should be added in an existing hierarchy that consists of 3 fields:
1. Category
2. Type
3. Priority
All the flexfields have value sets connected to them. Type is dependent of the values you have choosen in Category.
The setup looks like this today:
Category - Value set XXCategory - Independent
Type - Value set XXType - Dependent (.. of Category)
Priority - Value Set XXPriority- Independent
After the new field is added the hierarchy should be like this
1. Category
2. Type
3. Cause (new)
4. Priority
Cause should be dependent of Type (that is dependent of Category). The problem is that I can not set up a value set that is both dependent of something and master of something else.
Does somebody have any suggestions on how to address this issue?
BR DanielHi,
One possibility could be to make a value set using type "Table" attached to cause segment. This will be restrict values according to what you want. But the inconvenient is that the table has be created and maintained.

Variant Configuration and pricing in a Sales Order
Hi,
I have been successful in updating variant configuration for a sales order using the function modules 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2' to create the sales order and 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE' to add the variant configuration characteristics on a configurable material.
The issue I am having is that if I don't add the configuration values for pricing the pricing will not automatically update.
I have tried using function module 'CE_C_PROCESSING' to update the pricing after calling BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE without success.
Is there anyway to get the pricing to automatically update without adding the variant configuration values related to pricing?
Any help would be appreciated.
DerickHi Derick,
We are trying to create a sales order with a configurable item using 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2' and the issue that we are facing is we are getting the sales order but the configuration values are not getting populated.
Could you please guide us on how to pass the configuration data to the BAPI to create a sales order with configuration values?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks...

ATP Check for Components for Variant Configuration
Hi Gurus,
Does it exist a way to perform the ATP Check for components (in variant configuration) like in a test?
I mean, I know that when I create a SO (with the correct settings) the system will perform the ATP Check for components (Missing parts list). But is it possible to do this without trying to create the SO? Maybe a tcode as CU50 or PMEVC where I could enter the variant configuration values, then it explodes the BOM and do the ATP Check (as a simulation).
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.Hi Christopher,
If you enable the "Component Availability" within your configuration profile (under Confign initial screen, Confign Parameters), then you will see an additional option within CU50 while configuring. By pressing this button, you can see an availability check as of the date specified on the CU50 initial screen. You can also modify the quantity on the CU50 initial screen for a more realistic simulation of a sales order (where a customer may order more than one of a product). See screenshots below:

VC Variant Configurator SD; changing values by FM 'CUOV* '
Hi everybody,
It appears me some troubles with VC when I try to set value for particular feature again.
I have inconsistency fault when I try to change the value by calling FM 'CUOV_SET_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT' from configuration profile but it was set manually by user first (in standard VC window).
Both values of feature are correct (old and new).
Error looks like :
E: Inconsistent values inferred for characteristic (here is number of characteristic)
and next in details:
The following values are incompatible with each other:
(here is old value)
(here is new value)
Let me also know you, that this inconsistency problem exits in case when I try to overwrite feature value by FM I mentioned, and this value was set manually first only ( VC window)
If I try to owerwrite the feature manually (using the same value) - there is OK.
I suppose, I should in "any way " clear values which was set manually first, or change "something" in SAP Variant Configurator what let me change priority and allows overwrite value by FM which was set first manually ( in VC window) . But I have no idea how to do it...
I will be gratefull for any hints.
Thanks & Regards
TomasStandard SAP does not let you overwrite a value that is flagged as "Set by User". We had a similar requirement where we had to force a user-entered value to be deleted and replace it with a calculated value. To get around the issue, we copied the code from FM CUPR_DEL_VAL, which deletes values set by procedure, into our own FM called Z_VC_CUPR_DEL_VAL. In our version of the code we inserted a couple of statemtents that delete both user-entered values and values that were set as a default.
The great part about this mod was that we didn't even have to create our copy of the module inside of the CUPR function group. It worked fine if we just created in one of our custom function groups.
These were the lines we added to the end of the module after we copied:
KNTYPE = 'DI'.
PERFORM DDB_DEL_VALS_BY_KNTYPE(SAPLCUDB) USING INSTANCE ICABN-ATINN
RFLAG KNTYPE RESULT.
KNTYPE = 'SF'.
PERFORM DDB_DEL_VALS_BY_KNTYPE(SAPLCUDB) USING INSTANCE ICABN-ATINN
RFLAG KNTYPE RESULT.
