Variant Configuration
SAP PP Docs wiki
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Variant Configuration:It is a tool which helps to simplify the complex manufacturing of final product with more
varieties and Variation of the input material.
e.g. Automobile manufacturing, Furniture manufacturing.
Your company manufactures or sells products that are available in several different varieties. In
order to reduce your workload and storage costs, and to enable you to maintain every possible end
product variant, you have decided to use the SAP system for variant configuration.
Variant configuration in SAP R/3 lets you check the following as soon as you create a sales
order:
Whether the required variant can be produced (only variants that are technically possible can
be ordered)
What price you can quote for the product
Whether the customer's specifications can be covered from stock
And so on
The following objects make up the knowledge base of a configured material:
-The material master is where the configurable attribute is defined along with some additional
planning and control data.
-Characteristics and values must be created in the classification system and collected in
variant classes (class type 300).
-The configuration profile contains control data for the configuration process and result.
-A super BOM must be created that contains all standard components and all possible variable
components, as well as assemblies that are required to configure a variant product.
-A super task list must be created that includes all operations, sub operations, sequences, and
production resources and tools (PRTs) required to manufacture all possible variants.
-Pricing condition records must be created for pricing the configurable material.
There are five different types of object dependencies which can be used during the
configuration process. Dependencies provide the rules or logic for the configuration process.
Configurable materials are often used in specific industry sectors, such as aerospace and
defence, the automotive industry, make-to-order production, assemble-to-order production, and
the hi-tech industry

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Bill Of Material (Super BOM):The bill of material (BOM) of a configurable material contains all the components that are
required to manufacture the material. The BOM contains components that are only used in
specific variants (variant parts), as well as components that are used in all variants (nonvariable parts).
This is why BOMs for configurable materials are known as super BOMs.

E.g. Super BOM of Super Bike

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Configuration Profile:You define essential settings for materials in the configuration profile. These options are
restricted for other configurable object types.
You select a class type.
You can define settings that affect configuration. You define these settings for each object,
and they apply to the object wherever it is used. However, you can overwrite these settings
with your own settings in the configuration editor.
You can specify an interface design for grouping characteristics together on the value
assignment screen.
You can use the configuration profile to assign dependencies to a configurable object.
Dependency nets can only be assigned to a configuration profile. If you assign actions and
procedures to the configuration profile, you can manage them more easily because they are
all in one place.
For materials, you must also maintain configuration parameters for BOM explosion.
Depending on the configuration parameters you set, other fields in the configuration profile
are hidden or shown.

Go to transaction CU41 and Create Configuration profile for the Super Bike

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7. Object Dependency:Dependencies let you do the following:
Describe the interdependencies between characteristics and characteristic values
Control which components are selected from a bill of material (BOM) and which operations
are selected from a task list
Change the values of fields in BOM items and operations during configuration
You use a special syntax in the dependency editor to define dependencies.

Dependency Types
The SAP System supports the following types of dependencies:
_ Preconditions
_ Selection conditions
_ Actions (obsolete)
_ Procedures
_ Constraints

Global and Local Dependencies


The differences between global and local dependencies are as follows:
Global dependencies are created centrally and can be assigned to several objects.
Local dependencies are created for one object and can only be used with this object.

Different type of dependencies are assigned to the different objects and they have different
functions,

*Functions of Dependencies:Precondition:- = Dynamic control of characteristics and values Can a characteristic (value) be

selected in the configuration? It does not have to be selected.


Selection Condition:- = Dynamic control of characteristics . Must a characteristic be selected? It
Controls the selection of BOM components and task list operations .
Procedure (Actions):- Derivation of characteristic value with option of overwriting and successive
calculations (last two points only for procedures).
Constraints:- Value assignment and consistency check in single level And multilevel configuration
Additional reporting options for equations, variant tables, and variant functions.

*Area of Application of dependencies:Precondition: - Characteristic, characteristic value


Procedures (Actions):- BOM items, task list objects Configuration profile

(Characteristic, characteristic value)


Selection condition: - Characteristic BOM items Operation, sub operation, sequence, PRT
Constraint: - Configuration profile

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------9. Variant Price:-You can create a basic price for a configurable material. However, the price can also depend
on the product features of a specific variant that result from the value assignment process in the
sales order.
-Since the product features of a configurable material are represented by characteristics and
their values, you can define surcharges and discounts that depend on characteristic values.
-You define variant conditions for the surcharges and discounts. Condition types VA00
(absolute amounts) and VA01 (percentage amounts) are defined for variant conditions. You
can create variant conditions with reference to a material, a distribution channel, and a sales
organization. A surcharge or discount is identified by a variant key.
-By assigning variant conditions to characteristic values, or using dependencies, you control
when a surcharge or discount is applied. You define a characteristic with a reference to table
SDCOM, field VKOND, to access the condition table in dependencies.
-If you use dependencies, you use the relevant variant keys to assign values to the reference
characteristic. (Watch out for upper and lower case!)
In VK11 transaction enter condition type PR00 and create condition record with Material with
release status combination.

Reference Characteristic:Reference characteristics are characteristics that refer to table fields. You need reference
characteristics in configuration if you want to refer to the values of table fields in object
dependencies.
Essential data (such as format and length) is copied from the table field in the repository to the
characteristic.
Reference characteristics can fulfil two functions:
Read-only access to table fields in conditions
Changes to field contents with object dependencies
You create reference characteristics using the Additional data screen in characteristics
maintenance. Enter the table field to which you want the characteristic to refer. If you want to
refer to a table field in several tables, you can enter several tables. However, the format of the
field must be the same in all tables.
Example:- 1. Create reference characteristic T_QUANT_00 and go to additional data tab and assign
Table-STPO, Field-MENGE and press enter, ABAP dictionary gets copied
Table STPO is for BOM components and field MENGE is for Quantity

Class Node in Variant Configuration:Class node means the class (200), which is assigned to the variant class (300)
How Classes can be used in BOM
As we all know, Super BOMs are used in Variant Configuration, which contain all the components
that are required to manufacture the material.
There is one more option available in SAP to use Classes as BOM Items (Components), not very
commonly used
You can use class items to control the selection of variant parts in a BOM, Here it works same as
selection condition do
in case of Super BOM.
Variant parts are classified in a class, and this class which is entered in the BOM as a class item.
When you configure Material, the class is replaced by a suitable variant part.
Class items can help you to simplify maintenance of BOMs for configurable materials.
You only enter one item for the class, instead of several items for the individual variant parts.
You do not need to create and assign selection conditions.
You can classify additional objects in the class at any time, without having to change the BOM.
