VARIANT CONFIGURATION IN PP

[juancarlos_tena]

Hello,

I have ECC6 with variant configuration, but I don't use APO. My problem is that when I do a product order in co01, in the tabstrip of fast entry appears the characteristics but I can't introduce data, because appears disabled. I can introduce the quantity total but not in characteristics.

My material is type MCFE, and it have en MRP3 the kmat material, with 300 class.

Something can tell me :

What it's the customizing so that PP works with characteristics.

And if by fuctional I have to put anymore.

Regards

Paloma

thanks everybody,

I just want to have the features enabled when I create a production order (for customer order and for stock), and these characteristics can be changed, as they depend on the total amount of the order of manufacture. For example, I released 4000 M, but I can do it in four factor-length 1000, or two lengths of 2000, etc ... and that it must be modified.

So I think that you do not need or SuperRouting Superbom, because it depends on how is the BOM.

If your material produced in production order is the same with sales order material, you cannot change the characteristics. It can only be changed from the sales order.

Assuming that your characteristics that you want to enter effect the way the product is manufactured, you can put this into routing. If the combination is not too much, you can set some object dependencies differently in two or more routings (i.e., split 2, or split 4). Then you choose production version in production orders to reflect the production processes, for example.

The object dependencies can look like this:

$self.no_of_split = 2,

$self.zzsplitqty = $root.vbapkwmeng / $self.no_of_split

For example. Note that no_of_split and vbapkwmeng should be set as the characteristics in class 300. You can set the reference characteristics to certain fields in routings or sales orders.

Dear Paloma,

Fast Entry tabstrips as well as the possibility to configurate a material directly in production order are enhancements of ECC 6.0 that are only available if you activate SAP MILL in ECC-DIMP. Just activating it will not contain the necessary configuration to make it work.

If you just have basic ECC 6.0 configuration go for Variant Configuration in Make to Order Scenario or Material Variant Make to Stock production.

Take a look at building block 147 in SAP Best Practices to have a general look at a simple process.
