Selecting a Variant BOM to Copy

How to select a variant BOM to copy:

If the data you entered on the initial screen is correct, choose Create variant of.

You see the Create variant of dialog box.

In the Material field, enter the material whose BOM you want to use to create a variant.
Confirm your entries.

The system makes a series of checks, for example:

The system checks whether a BOM already exists for this material. The system determines the values for the plant and usage from the data you entered for the new variant on the initial screen.
If no items are valid on the valid-from date you entered on the initial screen, you see the following warning message:

No items are valid on <valid-from date>

Confirm this message. You see the Quantities/long text header detail screen.

If your data is correct, you see the Copy from screen. This screen shows the items of the BOM you are copying.
