Function documentationConfigurable Products

 

Products for which different options are available. For example, a PC can have different types of monitors or keyboards, or different memory sizes.

When configurable products are used in applications, the Web catalog for example, a customer can see which options are available and simulate configurations before making a selection. The price of the product is recalculated depending on the options selected.

Integration

You can download configurable materials from SAP ECC to SAP CRM. The configurable materials have to be downloaded first, before the configuration models are downloaded.

You download the configuration models using the load object SCE. You should not make any filter settings for this object, since they do not apply to the delta load. A request load can be performed if it is necessary to repeat an initial load.

Prerequisites

You have specified that configurable products can be created in SAP CRM in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management, by choosing Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Products Next navigation step Settings for Configurable Products Next navigation step Allow Configurable Products for a Product Type End of the navigation path.

Features

Configuration data for a product and other data related to configuration is available in the following assignment blocks on the Product page:

  • Product Models

    Displays a list of configuration models in which the product is used. The following functions are available:

    • Select a model and click Simulation to simulate the configuration.

    • Select a model and click Edit to change the configuration.

    • Click Insert to create a new configuration model.

  • Product Variants

    A product variant is a product that has already been configured and has its own product master record in which the configuration is stored.

    A list of product variants which exist for the product and were downloaded from SAP ECC is displayed in the assignment block. They can be displayed but not changed. The configuration data is contained in the Configuration assignment block.

  • Prices

    Prices can be created for configurable products using the variant condition keys (price keys) created in the PME.

    Variant conditions are pricing conditions that depend on characteristic values. The variant condition key (price key) is used to create a relationship between characteristic values and the price of the configurable product.

    When creating a price, you link the price key with the associated price.
