Print Product Variant Statistics (tipcf6410m000)

Use this session to print product variant statistics. The statistics indicate, for each generic item, how often an option of a product feature is chosen during a certain period. This information helps you record planning percentages for component variants in the generic BOM. The planning percentages are reused to correctly control the enterprise planning process.

To generate the statistics, this session determines how often the configurable item has been delivered by projects, for each product variant of the item. These deliveries can apply to internal deliveries between production orders, or to external deliveries of the product variant to the customer. If no project related deliveries of the product variant are present (if the product variant is related to a standard item), LN consults the sales order history for direct sales deliveries of anonymous standard items to the customer.

If the product variant is related to a standard item produced to order, this product variant is not processed into the product variant statistics.
