VC - Characterstics and Values associated with a Production Order

Question

Is there a way to get the variant configuration details (Characterstics and it's Values) related to a particular production order  which was created as a result of the selection of that component in the Super BOM.
For. Ex   Let's  Say   Material A    has as super BOM containing components Material B, C, D, E
Based on the Characterstics Values and Object dependencies Material B has been selected as the component that needs to be manufactured.
Now i need to know dynamically the configuration values associated for the Production Order that got created for Material B.
Something like i can pass the Production Order to some Function Module or something and get its characterstic values.
Any thoughts or inputs is Greatly Appreciated.
Best Regards,
Bharat.

Hi Mike,
I remember your Inputs for my earlier VC Questions put in this forum back in April and Infact we made good progress based on your Great Inputs.
However the scenario is somewhat different now,
btw Guys, am trying to give a very detailed explanation below about the scenario, hence it might take a while to completely go through the details,  no offense -- Please be patient.
to better explain,   We have a Multi-level Configuration Scenario.
i.e   we are trying to follow a Top-fill model for one of our products i.e
The Top-fill (like a wrapper )  will have two components blown in the Sales Order i.e
Matnr A -- Top-fill 
Matnr B - Configurable Component. 
Matnr C - Non-Configurable Component.
Matnr B is again a Multi-level Configurable  with configurable components i.e
BOM of Matnr B looks like below,
Matnr B  -- Configurable Component
Matnr D - Configurable compoent
Matnr D - Configurable component
Matnr D - Configurable component
Note: same Matnr D is repeated in the BOM  as the product structure  depends,
and Finally this Matnr D has the actual Super BOM i.e
--- Matnr D - Configurable compoent
ActualComponent 1  - for which Prod. Order gets created
Actual Component2  - for which Prod. Order gets created
Actual Compoent 3    - for which Prod. Order gets created
so if i explained it clearly you would understand that there is every possibility that sometimes based on the characterstic values chosen for Matnr D can endup choosing same ActualComponent.
i.e let's say Customer has chosen certain characterstic values and based on the object dependencies it could end up something like below,
--- Matnr A  -- Topfill          
Matnr B - Configurble Material  
MatnrD - Configurble material                                                       -                                                    -
Actual Component 1
MatnrD - Configurable material
Actual Component 1
MatnrD - Configurable material
Actual Component 1
since MatnrD and Actual Component 1 arent being blown in Sales Order but only in Configuration Results screen,  MatnrD OR Acutal Component 1 will not have any Reference Sales Order or Line Item.
So when individual production orders get created for Actual Component 1's,  i have no idea which production order corresponds to which characterstic values of Matnr D. 
I need to pass these characterstic values to Mfg. Systems.
I know the above is quite complex but trying to find an Answer.
I sincerely appreciate your Inputs.
Please feel free to ask any Questions if you want some more clarifiction.
Best Regards,
Bharat.
