This document discusses how to maintain bills of material (BOM) with variants in SAP. It includes defining characteristic types, creating BOMs, handling same and different grid components, defining quantity distribution profiles, and creating routings and production versions for BOMs with variants. Key steps covered are defining color and size characteristics, maintaining standard deviation quantities, using quantity distribution profiles for allocation, and ensuring production version line consistency for each variant.

1. S4F POC- BOM with
Variants
Vardhan Naik

2. Maintain BOM
• Define Characteristic Type
• Define BOM
• Deviation qty for Same Grid, Different
Grid
• Create Sales Order for BOM
• Run MRP
• Dependent requirements are planned

3. Define Characteristic Type
• Define Characteristic Type

4. 2. Define Characteristics Type

5. 2. Define Characteristics Type
• Define if
Characteristic is
Color or Size
• Option to assign
to Function
Module as well
to check

6. Define Bill of Material
• CS01- Define Bill of Material

7. 2. BOM for Material
• Use a Mm41 material only
( like YARN_DEMO instead of YARN).
MM01 material may result in short
dump in variant data screen
• The standard deviation qty is
maintained in the variant data

8. 2. Same Grid Component
• The standard deviation qty is
maintained in the first screen
and same is copied for all header
size
• The component has no grid or its
same grid.

9. 2. Same Grid Component
• Also possible to use Quantity
Distribution profile if the
component is also generic and
same class

10. 3. Different Grid Component
• The standard deviation qty is
maintained in the first screen
and is not copied to variant
screen
• The component has a different
grid to header screen
• Fast Entry option is available
• Create Mapping allows to define
which sizes/colors need mapping
• Also possible to use Quantity
Distribution profile

11. 3. Different Grid Component
• Also possible to use Quantity
Distribution profile

12. Define Characteristic New value Storage
• WRFCHVAL - Define Bill of Material

13. WRFCHVAL -Define New Characteristic Value Storage
• All Color and Size Characteristic are
now created for Fashion /Retail
using the New Value Storage

14. 2 Define New Characteristic Value Storage- CT04
• All Color and Size
Characteristic in CT04
is assigned to the
New Value Storage
• A Check Function
module similar to
WRF_CHECK_CHAR_V
AL can be assigned to
check the values

15. 3 Define New Characteristic Value Storage- WRFCHVALTYPE
• All Fashion/Retail Characteristics with Size/Color can be assigned to Function
checks [ Error/No Check/Warning in MM41 Material maintenance
• The Tcode to define Fashion Characteristic is WRFCHVALTYPE

16. 4 Define New Characteristic Value Storage- WRFCHVAL
• WRFCHVAL- One can
store all values in the
new storage format
• Used by Fashion
• Characteristic Value
Conversion available
• Sorting done by
Default
• Can Create Groupings

17. 4 Define New Characteristic Value Storage- WRFCHVALGRP
• WRFCHVALGRP- One
can store Subset of
Size Values
• Example: Heart Size

18. Define Quantity Distribution Profile
• FSH_QDP – Quantity Distribution
Profile
• FSH_BOM_COPY-Copy Selected BOM

19. 1. Quantity Distribution Profile
• Different Grid Example

20. Quantity Distribution Profile
• Only seems to work
when its same grid
and same material
group which is
sensible

21. 1. Quantity Distribution Profile
• Different Grid Example

22. 1. Quantity Distribution Profile
• Different Grid Example

23. 1. Quantity Distribution Profile
• Same Grid Example: Once can do allocation ( surcharge/Discount )

24. Define Routing
• FSH_QDP – Quantity Distribution
Profile
• FSH_BOM_COPY-Copy Selected BOM

25. 1. Work Center has no Fashion attributes
• No Fashion attributes
in Work Center

26. 2. Routing has no Fashion attributes
• No Fashion
attributes in
Routing as BOM
component is
assigned to
Operation
• Open Point:
Need to check
on
Segmentation

27. 3. Production Version
• Production
Version is
Mandatory
• Entering Generic
article shows
you Variant
screen where
one chooses the
sizes/Color
matrix

28. 4. Production Version
• Production
Version line
consistency
check is for each
variant
• Production
Order is created
for each header
variant
