Below help material from SAP

Definition: configurable material

Variant Configuration (LO-VC)

A material that can have different variants.

For example, a car can have different paint, trim, and engines.

Configurable materials have a super bill of material (BOM) that contains all the components for producing every variant of the material. Similarly, they have a super task list that contains all the operations. When a material is configured, only the components and operations needed for a variant are selected.

I'm assuming you mean the Cross Plant CM field on the Basic Data 2 screen of the material master?
