Variant Configuration..contd
Variant configuration helps
To ensure right choice is delivered
Easy for the sales person to select
Communication is fast and clear
Ensures production of right item

Variant Configuration-Class
To define the features of a configurable
material, use characteristics. To
enable to use characteristics to configure a
material, assign the material to a class of
class type 300. The customer can choose
from among different options for each
characteristic (values).
Object Dependency
Selection of item, Restricting the selection &
changing the quantity of an item in the
BOM are done through Object dependencies
select condition, Precondition and
Procedure respectively
Select Condition
Super BOM contains all the required and
Variable items. From the variable items
required items will be selected which are
Matching the characteristic value.
Constrains:-
Engine_Power
Emission_level
euro1,euro2 & euro3
Procedure e.g.
If there is a change in quantity depends on any
Characteristic value, then Procedure is used.
i.e Depends on number of wheel character, item
Fastner required quantity per engine may be
8 times the number of wheel.
If no of wheel is 4 then fastner qty should be 32
Per product.
Creation of class
Characteristics are created and attached with
Class of class type 300(variant class).
Class will be assigned to the material master
With characteristic values
Enter this class as a class item (K) in the BOM
Simulating configuration
configuration simulation to check
configuration model.
In the configuration simulation, one can test
whether it has created the objects
correctly and whether dependencies
work.
Simulating costing
Use the configuration simulation functionality
to determine the costs for manufacturing a
specific variant of the configurable material.
Please note that this configuration is only a
simulation the costing data for a variant is
not saved.
use the function to simulate the costing for
different characteristic values
Material Accounting
Relevant items are selected from the
Super BOM through object dependency.
The selected items form the BOM specific to
SO.
Items are copied to Plnd.order,prod.order
And issued against the production order.

Component Accounting
From Planned orders components are
Copied to production order and issued.
All the items are accounted for consumption
