Precondition vs Selection Condition vs Procedure.

Hello ujasmodi97,

You will want to seek out some training as all of these are basic objects used in Variant configuration.

In general:

1) Preconditions - use true/false logic to restrict and hide either characteristics or values of characteristics.

2) Selection conditions - use true/false logic to require characteristics or to "select" BOM items to be included in the BOM.

3) Procedures can be used in a wide variety of logic operations, such as setting a quantity value, preforming math calculations, setting a 1 characteristic value based on another, concatenating a string, executing a function/pfunction, etc..

These links may help you get started or there is a good SAP Press book as well as SAP training courses on Variant Configuration.
