Enhancements in Variant Configuration

Use

In order to optimize the business processes in variant configuration, you can change some variant configuration functions of the SAP System by using customer exits.

Example Example

If a user works with very complex, multilevel configurations, you can control the level of detail shown for the configuration. You can use enhancement CCUX0800 to determine whether all assemblies are exploded or only the configurable assemblies. The enhancement contains function module EXIT_SAPLCUKO_002. This links to include program ZXCUCU05. Enter your program code in this include.

End of the example.

Customer Exits

Prerequisites

When you use a function exit, you must create a company-specific include program that matches the programming logic of the function module.

Features

The following is an overview of the enhancements supported in variant configuration (development class CU).

Caution Caution

Constant additions are being made to customer enhancements for variant configuration and this documentation may not include all the possible enhancements. To see the most up-to-date list of enhancements call the F4 help for Enhancements and the Development class CU* for Infosystem .
