Product Variant Structure (tipcf5511m000)

Use this session to configure product variants.

To configure product variants that contain purchased configurable items

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.

For more information on procuring purchased configurable items in Assembly Control module, refer to

  • Procuring configured items in Assembly Control - Master Data Setup
  • Procuring configured items in Assembly Control - BOM setup
  • Product variants - Purchased configurable items

BOM level

Pos

The position number of the component in the generic BOM, which allows unequivocal recognition of the generic bill of material. This number is comparable to the position number in the production bill of material. In a generic bill of material, however, several variants can be defined for each position number.

By default, the LN shows the last position number used, plus 10; in other words, in the sequence 10, 20, 30, and so on. The numbering of positions is unrestricted. You must adopt these default values so that the intermediate numbers can be used to insert components. If, in retrospect, a component must be inserted between components 10 and 20, you can enter the component on position number 15.

Seq.

The sequence number indicates that several versions of the component for each position number can exist.

For product variants, enter the sequence number within a position number of the generic bill of material. This sequence number can also be left empty.
