• Key Concepts: 
  Variant Configuration Overview is a component of the LO-VC Variant Configuration module in SAP. It is used to create and manage product variants, which are different versions of a product that have different characteristics. It allows users to define the characteristics of a product, such as size, color, and material, and then create different variants based on those characteristics. The Variant Configuration Overview also provides tools for managing the variants, such as creating new variants, editing existing variants, and deleting variants.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Variant Configuration Overview, users must first define the characteristics of a product. This can be done by creating a “characteristic” in the system and assigning values to it. For example, if you are creating a product with different sizes, you would create a “size” characteristic and assign values such as “small”, “medium”, and “large”. Once the characteristics have been defined, users can then create variants based on those characteristics. For example, if you have defined a “size” characteristic with values “small”, “medium”, and “large”, you can then create three different variants of the product – one for each size. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating variants using the Variant Configuration Overview, it is important to remember that each variant must have a unique combination of characteristics. For example, if you are creating a product with two characteristics – size and color – then each variant must have a unique combination of size and color. It is also important to remember that each variant must have at least one characteristic value assigned to it.
