Passing information into a variant configurator

March 2, 2016, 6:30 am
$

My company is looking to move to using SAP's variant configuration to configure our bill of materials and handle all the downstream SAP tasks.

 

Based on the limitation in the table structure and inability to handle complex iterations or math, it is very difficult to configure our product in the VC. I have a separate product that is our drawing automation software that effectively does the same thing as the VC, where is generates a full BOM but allows us to put in all of our engineering and safety rules and calculations into the program.

 

I am trying to find out if I can just pass this final bill of materials, or list of part numbers into the VC where it could handle all of the SAP tasks for sending out the order and assigning routers? All I want to do is avoid managing what are becoming too cumbersome of tables for the VC and not answering any configuration questions in the VC. I would like our end user to be able to use our automation  software to answer questions and configure a product, then have that system drop the list of part numbers that make up a BOM in a format that the SAP VC can read and then automatically move the order on.

Why FERT is used some times instead of KMAT

Hi

 

I have seen many threads regarding KMAT and FERT, but I have not got a very clear answer.

 

My question is;

 

I have seen on many occasions that FERT is used as a configurable material instead of using the standard KMAT material type. Can somebody please tell me why this type of a scenario might arise?

 

 

Thanks & Regards

Dear Gurus,

 

Before posting this thread, we have referred many SDN threads, OSS notes and other sites for any sort of help..but no success..All threads and other referrals are not much of help as they are kind of incomplete( Perhaps, we are unable to understand them..no offense).

 

Few checked threads on this subjects are:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/120144

OSS: 549563

 

Well, we're using the BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2) which creates the sales order successfully but without the characteristic values in line items.

We're passing data to the following parameters - ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_VALUE to create the variant config but not able to see it getting created.

 

Pls find attached BAPI coding document for your reference.

 

If you could throw any light on this issue will be of great help for us.

 

Thank You in Advance!!!

Combing multiple characteristic values

March 7, 2016, 2:27 pm

I'm looking to perform something like the following in a variant config action

 

All three characteristics conatin two character country values and use table T005 as a lookup check table.

I have two organizational groups that are allowed to ban shipping products to specific countries.

For example:

- The laboratory can ban a batch from going to a country because of a failed spec.

- The governemnt group can ban a batch because some temporary ban due to embargos/regulatory approvals, etc..

 

Access to each characteristic is controlled via organizational groups so one group can't change the others.

 

So Char 1 has the value of MX (Mexico)

     Char 2 has the values PA, ES, (Panama, Spain)

 

We want Char 3 to have the values of MX, PA, ES.

I.e. the union set fo Char 1 and Char 2

 

I've tried numerous versions of this to no avail.  I can't get past the syntax check!!

Here's some of the things I've tried:

 

$SELF.CHAR3 = CHAR1 + CHAR2

$SELF.CHAR3 = SELF.CHAR1 + SELF.CHAR2

$SELF.CHAR3 = CHAR1 & CHAR2

$SELF.CHAR3 = SELF.CHAR1 & SELF.CHAR2

 

And numerous others...

 

Any suggestion as to how I can do this?

 

In the end, we'd used CHAR 3 to set the LOBM_COUNTRY_NOK characteristic that SAP provides to block shipments to these countries by accident in batch determination.

Hello All,

 

I need to fetch the characteristics and it's values maintained in configuration.

 

For material class (001), I can use FM 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL' to get the values assigned to the material in classification view of material master.

 

But, my requirement is to fetch the values for class type '300', i.e. the values of characteristics assigned in configuration of production or sales order.

I checked many function module but still unable to find the solution.

 

Kindly help me to get the values of characteristics assigned in configuration for class type '300'. (either by linking tables, or, by FM).

Thanks in advance.

Line Item plant allocation

Hi,

         Have set one item in a VC top level BoM to be 'Relevant to sales'. Selection is dependent on characteristic selection.

 

  If you select the correct value, the part appears in the sales order as a separate line item. The extra item uses the same delivering plant as the configurable item...

 

  Capture_01.JPG

  Item 10 is the configurable part, item 20 is the additional part. Item 10 is set as plant 1000, therefore item 20 is automatically set to plant 1000.

 

  My question is, can the plant selection for item 20 be variable / overridden? For instance can you override & select plant 6000 (for instance). Currently the field is restricted.

 

  Any thoughts..., please advise.

 

  Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

 

Is there any standard transaction in SAP where we can do the reporting related to cost elements as per each maintenance plan.

 

I am aware of transaction IP31 and IA16 .But in IP31 we can give one maintenance plant in foreground or n number of maintenance plans in background.

 

After executing in background it gives the total costing as per the cost elements.Is there any way of generating report broken down per individual maintenance plant.

Hi Experts,

 

I have created a characteristic 'Department' and when I assign the table 'T527O' in the Value tab it gives an error " Check table T527O has too many key fields".

 

In the error it says that "Check tables with more than one key field are not supported. However,

if  you enter a function module for checking values, you can refer to any check table in your own coding."

 

I am able to see one radio button called "Function Module" when I click on Other Value Check on Value tab, but do not know how to use that.

Could anyone please guide me in this.

 

My requirement is:

1. create a characteristic called department.

2. link it to a class,

3. while creating a document in CV01N the f4 help should be available in department field.

 

Thanks & Regards

Dear gurus,

i need to setting with a procedure two or more default value for a characteristic multivalue.

 

I used the following syntax :

 

$SET_DEFAULT ($SELF, <characteristic>, <string>)

 

 

but i need to setting simultaneously two values because in the next procedure i would like to check the value specified or not, and if i use the different row as decribed below :


$SET_DEFAULT ($SELF, a, value1 )

$SET_DEFAULT ($SELF, a, value2 )


i can't try this situation.

Therefore my question is : is possible setting for car a the value 1 and value 2 with the same procedure?


$SET_DEFAULT ($SELF, a, value1, value 2 ) ? for example?


Thanks a lot

Hi All,

 

I have been trying to find a Notification Class, like something we have for Materials (001), Batch (023), ECM (025)..., but am unable to find anything. I think it does not exist. My business requirement is that I need to add some information (example Product Lines) to a Notification while creating/changing it (IQS1/IQS2). Would have had been great if a Class Type for Notification exist, then I could have had done it through Characteristics. Is their a way I can use some other fields within Notification, where I can input information.

 

I am not looking for long text.

 

Can someone kindly guide.

Configurable material pricing based on Characteristic values

Hi Experts,

Need your help on one of the client requirement as below.

 

Below are the characteristics of the Config.Material.

 

1. Product

2. Variety

3. Density

4. Color

5. Length

6. Width

7. Thickness

8. ... few other attributes

 

Length, Width and Thickness will have predefined values and also it should be a free text as customer places order in non standard sizes also.

 

per KG price will be maintained based on Product, Variety, Density Customer group and geographical location.

We have to calculate how many KGs of the product is ordered based on the Length, Width and Thickness. Derive the price with per KG price and apply it for the item of the order.

 

Now the question is how do we handle this as per standard pricing for variant configuration. I have explored pricing factors also but not sure how it really works for this requirement.

 

Appreciate if you can provide some help on this requirement.

Cost estimate for make to order products

May 8, 2012, 11:36 pm

For cost estimate, is it only done for top level BOM material only?

 

For make to stock products, I can understand it. Cost estimate is only done for the top level material with procurement type E. So only the top level material is entered into CK40N and BOM explosion will take care of it drilling down to all lower level materials.

 

What about make to order products, how is the cost estimate done?

 

E.g. BOM structure:

Level 0- ProductA

Level 1- Option1, Option2

Level 2- Option1compoent, Option2component.

 

When sales order is created for ProductA, either Option1 or Option2 needs to be selected.

 

At which level should cost roll be done? and does it matter for E or E50 procurement type?
