In this Customizing activity, you can specify settings for composition groups and product variants and you can map them.

Composition Groups

Composition groups define the composition data model and specify how the system reads the data and displays the data for your industry and organization. You use composition groups as follows:

  • All composition groups are used for explosions and normalizations in the workbench.
  • Specified composition groups are used for checks.
  • The standard composition is used for importing of non-EU supplier data.
  • Using the import tool that is material category-dependent.
  • Performing exports using explosions or normalizations.

Product Variants

Product variants allow a product to be treated in different ways depending on the assigned validity area categories. Product variants are displayed in the product structure after the bill of material (BOM) transfer. You use product variants for the following business cases:

  • Multi BOM:
  • A product or part has multiple BOMs with different usages (Variant Usage).

  • A product or part has multiple alternatives for a BOM, all have the same usage (Variant Alternative).

  • A product or part has BOMs in different plants (Variant Plant).

  • Multi supplier: A part is purchased from multiple suppliers / manufacturers (Variant Supplier).
  • Custom: Variants for customer-specific needs that require additional implementation in the BOM transfer interface (Variant Custom).
  • For the composition groups Input Composition and Standard Composition, you have assigned at least one Value Assignment Type in the subactivity Specify Composition Groups.
Caution:For the composition groups Basic Material Compositionand Supplier Specification Listingnever add value assignment types.
For the others, never use one composition in several groups.
  • For product variants, you have configured the required validity area categories and the corresponding validity areas.
For more information, see the following Customizing activities:

The standard system is delivered with the following standard composition groups:

  • @3M@ Input composition, Sequence 1
  • @L9@ Supplier part listing, Sequence 2
  • @3M@ Basic material composition, Sequence 3
  • @3M@ Standard composition, Sequence 4

The standard system is delivered with the following standard product variants:

Variant Active Val. Area Category Priority Icon Variant Description
USAGE X BOMUSAGE 1 @6E@ Usage
ALTERNATE X BOMALT 2 @AP@ Alternative
PLANT X PLANT 3 @A8@ Plant
SUPPLIER X SUPPLIER 4 @L9@ Supplier
CUSTOM   5 @L4@ Custom

The standard system is delivered with the following assignment from composition groups to product variants:

Composition Group Variant
INPUT ALTERNATE
INPUT PLANT
INPUT USAGE
SUPPLIER PLANT
SUPPLIER SUPPLIER

SUPPLIER

Check the standard settings and adapt, if necessary.

Note:
  • If you want to use the CUSTOM product variant, specify a validity area category and an icon for this product variant.

  • If you want to use the product variants BOMALT, BOMUSAGE, or PLANT, ensure that your logistic values match with the corresponding Customizing entries for logistic.

  • Only product variants that are marked as active are displayed as phantom nodes in the product structure the compliance workbench.

  • If necessary, add an additional customized variant for product variants:

Variant Active Val. Area Category Priority Icon Description
CUSTOM X CUSTOM 5 @A7@ Additional customized variant

@A7@
