The unique identification of a product variant.
Product Variants (tipcf5501m000)Use this session to display product variants. You can maintain the product variants, and the configuration of variants for sales quotations, sales orders, budgets, and projects in the Product Variant (tipcf5600m000) session. Note In case of Assembly, you can configure product variants that contain purchased configurable items. You can use a configurable item to create a item structure that can hold a configurable purchased sub-assembly. The purchased sub-assembly is issued at the assembly line like other assembly parts. Information on product variants sourced by assembly is also stored in the Product Variants (Assembly) (tiapl3500m000) session.
Product Variant The unique identification of a product variant. Description Enter the code for the language in which you want to print the
texts that you previously selected. Item The code of the configurable item. The component must be predefined in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. From this field, you can directly record items in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. Item Type Select the type of item the product variant applies
to. Allowed values Default Supply Source The source that supplies an item by default. You can use
purchase orders or schedules, production orders or schedules, assembly orders,
or warehousing orders to supply an item. The default supply source determines what type of order is used to supply the item, but in general, you can override the default and specify an alternate source. This field can be used to determine what type of supply order LN must create if you enter a sales order for this item and the item's inventory on hand is not sufficient. Allowed values Reference Type A product variant may relate to a sales quotation, sales order,
budget or project, or it may concern a standard variant. Reference Order The reference order number is the number of the sales
quotation, the sales order, the budget, or the project to which the product
variant refers. Reference Position The reference position number is the position number of the
sales quotation line or the sales order line to which the product variant
refers. Alternative Sales Quotation You can view multiple alternatives of product variants for one
quotation line. The sequence number zero is assigned to the main
position. Sequence numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on represent the alternatives 1, 2, 3, and so on. Alternatives are not included in (sub)totals and balances, and are only included in time phased inventory movements if the Status field is not Confirmed. Inventory is only checked when an alternative is confirmed and transferred to an order line. Multiple alternative lines can be confirmed and converted for each quotation line. Sold-to Business Partner The customer for whom the product variant is
configured. Product Variant Valid If this check box is selected, the product variant is valid. Text If this check box is selected, an additional text is
available for the product variant. Note Click the Text Manager to create a text. . Structure by PCF If this check box is selected, the bill of material (BOM) and routing are generated by PCF . If this check box is cleared, item, BOM and routing configuration takes place in the CPQ configurator. Note If the Product Configurator (PCF) or CPQ configurator check boxes are cleared in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session, this field is not visible. Product Configuration Date The date the product variant was configured. CPQ Configurator Variant If this check box is selected, the variant was
configured with the CPQ Configurator. Allowed values CPQ Configurator Status The status of the CPQ Configurator configured product variant. Allowed values Engineering Hold If this check box is selected, the product variant must
be validated before it is considered complete. The product variant must have
engineering approval before it is communicated to LN from the CPQ Configurator. Variant Sales Price The sales price of the product variant. Based on the generic
sales price list, the sales price is computed in the Calculate Product Variant Sales Price Structure (tipcf5230m000) session. Currency The currency used.
Configure Product Variant In the Product Configurator (tipcf5120m000) session you can enter the options and the
features selected by the customer. Based on the input of features and options, LN generates a new
product variant identification. The routing and bill of material data is not assigned to the product variant. Therefore you must generate a product variant structure in the Generate (Project) Structure for Product Variant (tipcs2220m000) session. Calculate Sales Price Structure Starts the sales price structure for
the selected product variant. Copy Copy the product variant structure.
