• Key Concepts: 
  Variant functions are a feature of the SAP CRM-BF-CFG Product Configuration component that allow users to create and store multiple versions of a product configuration. This allows users to quickly switch between different configurations without having to manually enter the same data multiple times. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use variant functions, users must first create a variant configuration profile. This profile contains all the necessary information for creating a product configuration, such as the product type, characteristics, and values. Once the profile is created, users can then create multiple variants of the same configuration by changing the values of certain characteristics. These variants can then be saved and recalled at any time. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating variants, it is important to give each variant a descriptive name so that it can be easily identified later on. Additionally, it is also helpful to keep track of which characteristics have been changed in each variant so that users can quickly identify which variant they need to use.
