Variant
configuration is used
where you have a configurable material like computer (made up of components like
processor, monitor, keyboard, mouse etc). These components are called as
characteristics in variant config. Again this will be having values like
processor can be either P4 or P3, monitor can be 15" or 17" etc.
Based on the values selected the variant pricing will happen
using the condition type VA00.
Possible
questions you can expect are:
- What is
variant configuration?
- What is
characteristic?
- What is value?
- What is class?
- What is configuration profile?
- What is dependency and what are the types?
- What is a variant table?
-
And the transaction codes for the above.
The
procedure is as follows:
- Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
- Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
- Create another characteristics in CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table SDCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)
- Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
- Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.
- Now go back to CT04 - enter Zbike -go to values- select Red- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red' and save

- Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
- Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
