A material CYCLEis created as a configurable material with Gen. Item category group as 0004and Item

category group as ERLA. Also material CYCLEis a BOMmaterial, which has sub items.

Go to Transaction code: MM01.Do the following:

1.Basic Data 2 creen: et !"aterial is #onfigurable$ Indicator

Assign the class CYCLECLASSin the assignments area.

%he class CYCLECLASSis created with the class type 3003*ariants4 for the material cycle.

Transaction Code: CL01.

5ow the characteristic CYCLETYRESwas created with character format.

Transaction Code: CT04.

Go to the 0alues tab and maintain the characteristic 0alues and description as per the reuirement.

5ow the characteristic SYSTEMwas created with character format.

o! Go to Transaction Code: CT04.

Go to the 0alues tab and maintain the characteristic 0alues and description as per the reuirement.

5ow the characteristic CYCLEMO"ELwas created with character format.

Transaction Code: CT04.

Go to the 0alues tab and maintain the characteristic 0alues and description as per the reuirement.

5ow the characteristic CYCLE#R$CEwas created with character format. %his characteristic is allowed for

multiple 0alues.

Transaction Code: CT04.

Go to the additional data tab and maintain the table name as S"COM3which lins ales and Distribution with

*ariant configuration4 and field name as %&O".

5ow we ha0e to maintain the dependencies for the class CYCLECLASS. %he dependency CYCLE#R$CEis

created for the class. Go to dependency editor as shown below.

Transaction Code: C'01.

"aintain the dependency editor for pricing the material CYCLEbased on the reuired combination.

Also we need to maintain the configuration profile for the material CYCLE.

A configuration profile CYCLEis created for the material CYCLE and set the status as released.

Go to Transaction Code: C'41.

%he necessary settings need to be maintained for the configurable material #6#7+ to eplore in a sales order.

;e ha0e to create the 0ariant conditions for the characteristics maintained in the class CYCLECLASS. %hen go

%he below specified conditions are acti0e for the material CYCLE.

5ow let us create a sales order. As the material is a B8" material it should eplore with the sub/items and alsoshould gi0e us the screen to select the reuired material.

)ress enter for the 0arious characteristics of the material.

As the material CYCLEis a configurable material, we can choose 0arious options for the material as shown

below.

%he material #6#7+ is eploded with the sub/items and the net 0alue is directly calculated based on the 0ariants

maintained for condition type *A&&.

%he B8" components for material CYCLEare:

Transaction Code: CS0).

R$M* #E""LE* TYRES are the sub/items for material CYCLE.

This is the complete overview of the variant configuration for a BOM material.
