Hi,

IBP has not supported variant configuration functionality at this movement. You can run the demand planning and publish the forecast to S/4HANA via web services. During forecast load into S/4HANA, it can trigger the relevant strategy group based on material master/configuration settings.

The following Strategy can be used for variant configuration.

Planning Variants w/o Final Assembly (55)

Planning Variants w/ a Planning Material (65)

Make-to-Order Production w/ Configuration (25)

Characteristics Planning w/ Dependent Req'ts (56)

Assembly Processing w/ Char. Planning (89)

MTO Production for Material Variants (26)

Create a hybrid strategy to fulfill business requirements

Best Regards,
