•Planned/Production Order
• Select the level of BOM explosion (none, single level, multi-level) in the sales
order. Up to that level you have
• All configurable items are configured in the sales order
• Sales relevant items are copied to the sales order as sales items
• Value assignments are stored on the data base for each configurable
material

Finally, a few words about variant tables. They can be used in procedures,
constraints and preconditions and selection conditions for value restriction
or value set.
