Abstract:

. Variant Configuration is one of the advanced functions of the System Application and Product in data processing (SAP) business process solutions. Many enterprises, particularly from the complex production industry, can be benefited from the use of Variant Configuration. This paper demonstrates on how a product configuration is performed for a complex variable product using SAP variant configuration. The automotive pump manufacturing was as complex configurable product that involves different variants of the product. This artifact also explains on how we leverage the SAP Variant configuration functionality and achieving complex variant pump configuration with simplified solution.
