SAP E-Book

In this activity, you define variants for the nodes that you have already defined in the activity Define Node Types.

You can use a variant to document that one node can have various concrete forms. When you maintain data in the iPPE Workbench, the variant that belongs to the node is automatically selected.

The following variant types are provided as standard:

Product Structure
Access Variant Focus Access Variant
Component Variant Focus Variant
Color Variant Focus Color Variant
Assembly Header Focus Assembly Header
Assembly Item Focus Assembly Item
Other Variant Types
Set
Concept

You cannot change the characteristics of standard variant types. You can use the standard variant types in all the iPPE applications (product structure, process structure, factory layout) to represent your master data.

When you create new variant types, you must use one of the standard variant types as a template. However, you cannot create new variant types that constitute an enhancement of an existing variant type.

The name space S_ is reserved for the standard variant types. You cannot create variant types whose technical name begins with the letter S.

Assembly Item

Use the predefined variant types.
