Working with Configurable BOMs 
Purpose
You work with configurable BOMs if you manufacture a product with many variants. You produce the product especially for your customers, who specify how the product should look. In doing this, you use variant configuration.
Process Flow
- You create a super BOM
Apart from the components that are relevant to all variants, this bill of material also contains selectable components. You maintain the bill of material for a configurable material as you would a normal material BOM.
- You define in, for instance, object dependencies, the conditions according to which the selectable components should be selected during configuration.
You can find further information under
BOM of a Configurable Material.
- You perform configuration, for instance, when entering a sales order.
The system selects the desired and suitable components from those that are selectable.
