Variant Configuration

Step 1: T-code- CT04:-

Create Characteristic in this case CYCLE FRAME & value assignment as single
value/multiple value selection for customer.

The Single-value indicator means that only one value can be assigned to an
object. If you assign a class or other hierarchy node to a class, you can assign more than
one value. This serves to restrict the allowed values.

The Multiple values indicator means that you can assign more than one
value during value assignment.

Click on values tab

Enter the characteristic values

Step 2: T-code- CL01:-
Create Class. In this case MYCYCLE , with class type 300 i.e. variants

Click on Char tab

Enter the Characteristic you had created in the previous step , in this case CYCLE
FRAME.
Step 3: T-code- MM01:-

Create a configurable material of material type KMAT. In this case we have created
material called CUSTOMER CYCLE. In classification view of material master enter the
class created in the previous step.
In MRP 3 view of material master the strategy group must be 25 i.e. make to order for
configurable material.
Enter the production schedule profile as 000001.

Rest of the settings for material master must be done relevant to application.
Create material master for Handle, Red frame, Black frame, Blue frame.
Step 4: T-code- CS01:-

Create SUPER BOM of Configurable material i.e. for CUSTOMER CYCLE.

Enter all the material numbers that are relevant to characteristic value.

Create object Dependency through selecting variant item >> extras >> Object
dependency >> editor >>
Or double click to go to editor mode

While creating dependency

Use format as
Characteristic (space) = (space) characteristic value
Repeat for all characteristic values and save dependency
Step 5: T-code- CU41:-

Create Configuration Profile

Select material

Enter the material number. In this case CUSTOMER CYCLE.

Double click on the Profile selected. In this case PROFILE FOR CYCLE.
Select Confign initial screen tab

Process : sales Order(SET)

BOM Explosion : Multilevel

Put BOM application as SD01

Select Component availability

Select Only configurable assemblies

And save.
Step 6: T-code- CA01:-

Create Routing.
Create Sales Order for u r Configurable material /VA01
In our case it is Customer cycle
& check sales order status in MD04 it has to with Order & sales ord no

1) Against this Sales order go for Initial posting of all dependent raw material & variant
ordered material using
MB1C + Movement type 561 one by one for all components

2) Then do Transfer Posting Use MB1B + Movement Type 412 + special type E with
respect to sales order no

3) Do MRP Run ( T Code --MD02 )

U will see pld ord in MD04 ----Stock / Requirement List

Convert this pld ord into production order by double click on this pld ord .

4) Do Goods Issue using MB1A + 261 Move type + E (Special stock ) against Sales
Order/Production order

5) Do Goods Receipt using

MB31 + Mov type 101 + Prod Ord Vs Sales Ord

6) Go for CO02 ---change of Production order

Do with it
Material Availability Check
Costing Cal
Capacity check
Scheduling
TECO
& save

7) Refresh MD04
Check customer Material available qty in it & DO CONFIRMATION / TCODE--CO15

8) Go for MMBE -----Reserved material has to reduce

For SD & End user steps to perform for Variant configuration
1---VA01 to create Sales Order
2---MD04 to check stock/Requirement List & generated Ord from sales order
3---MD02 to Run MRP(single item, multi level)
4---MD04 to check Pld Ord created Vs Sales order
5---Do intitial posting using MB1c & 561 movement type
6---Do Transfer posting with MB1B + 412+E(sp stock)
7 ---Do GI
8---Do GR
