Introduction:
• Variant Configuration is useful if you have a large number of combination of parts that go into a product. It means different permutations and combinations of the parts for same material. • If you maintain a unique material code for each possible combination of parts, you require a large number of material numbers.• Usually involves Make to Order Production Process
Examples: • A customer ordering a computer can choose different combinations of monitor, CPU, keyboard.• A customer ordering a car can choose different combinations of accessories and color.• In a business involving steel manufacturing, the customer may order steel involving different physical properties like tensile strength, diameter.

• A configurable material has a special bill of material called the Super BOM in which all possible combinations are stored. • The product is configured in the sales order by choosing the required Characteristic Values. • The requirements are passed on Production Planning. On Explosion of the Bill of Material, the system selects the components assigned to the characteristics values in the order. • After production, the material is assigned as sales order stock for delivery to customer.
• Sales Order Processing

Make-To-Order Production With a Configurable Product: In this process, you create a sales order in SD and transfer the requirements to PP. The requirements are checked using MRP, before a production order is generated. This production order is created in PP. Shipping and billing both occur in SD. Finally, you check the costs and revenues in CO.

Reference characteristics are characteristics that refer to table fields.
Tables / Structures whose filed values can be changed by dependencies:
SDCOM - Communication between SD and Variant Configuration
VCSD_UPDATE - Table for Updating Sales Documents from the Configuration
MMCOM, STPO, PLPO, PLFH, PLFL
Tables / Structures whose filed values can be read by dependencies:
VBAK, VBAP, VBKD, VBPA_AG, VBPA_WE, VBPA_RE, VBPA_RG
