Product Variant (tipcf5600m000)

	Product Variant (tipcf5600m000) Use this session to generate a product variant identification code for a specific configuration of a generic item. This product variant stores the options selected by the customer. With the product variant code, you can generate various variants for a generic item. The code is a unique identification of a specific product variant. The code can originate from the Product Configurator (tipcf5120m000) session that can be activated from Sales Control, Project Control, and Budgeting. You can also start this session manually if a customer wants information about options and prices without any obligation. In the implementation stage of the product model, the session is used to test whether the product model is in accordance with the operational situation. Note If you click Configure Product Variant, you can maintain the product variant options in the Product Configurator (tipcf5120m000) session. If you click Validate Product Variants you can validate the product variant in the Validate Product Variants (tipcf5200m000) session. 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. The tabs in this session refer to: Product Variant Option Sets (tipcf5510m000) Product Variant Options (tipcf5520m000) Product Variant Sales Price Structure (tipcf5530m000) Product Variant Purchase Price Structure (tipcf5535m000) Related topics How to define a product model How to calculate a discount percentage on the basis of the sales price How to configure product variants and generate product structures Procuring configured items in Assembly Control - Master Data Setup Procuring configured items in Assembly Control - BOM setup Product variants - Purchased configurable items Description The description of the product variant. Item The code of the configurable item. The item code must be defined in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. Item Type The item type of the selected item. 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 Source Reference Type The reference type indicates the product variant's reference. A product variant can relate to a sales quotation, sales order, budget, project (from Project Control (PCS) or Project), contract deliverable, or it can concern a standard variant. Allowed values Possible values Reference Order The order number of the reference type, such as the sales quotation, sales order, budget, and the project to which the product variant refers. Reference Position The position number of the sales quotation line or the sales order line to which the product variant refers. Sold-to Business Partner Select the sold-to business partner. 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. CPQ Configurator Status The status of product variant in the CPQ Configurator. Allowed values CPQ Configurator Status 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. Related topics CPQ Configurator set up Product Configuration (PCF) Routing Bill of Material (BOM) 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. Product Configuration Date Select the product configuration date, which is the date on which the product variant data was last changed. Product Variant Valid This field indicates whether the product variant is validated by the product configurator. A product variant is valid if all product features have valid option values. Image The graphic representation of the configured item. Option Set Identifies a set with product features and options for a configurable item within the product structure. Item The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) Item Type A classification of items used to identify if the item is, for example, a purchased item, a manufactured item, or an equipment item. Depending on the item's type, certain functions will only apply to that item. Allowed values Item type PCF Level The level in the generic product structure to which the option set is linked. Option List ID The identification of the options and features for a configured item. The ID is used in the item specification to match supply and demand. Sales Price The basic sales price of the configured item. Purchase Price The price you pay for an item, expressed in the purchase currency.
