Steps – Creating Class
Menu Path :Logistics Central Functions Variant Configuration Environment
Classification Master Data CL02 – Class
In Variant Configuration we use the Class to Group the Characteristics that Describe the
Configurable Material. We need to link the Class to the Configurable Material so that we
allow that Material to be Configured by using the Characteristics of the Class.
We can use a Class in the Variant Configuration if the Class has a Class Type that
Support the Variant Configuration.
2) Select the Icon Create, Basic data Tab enter Description and status must be Set to
Release
