  Key Concepts: 
  Variation is a feature of the MFG-CAM SAP Complex Assembly Manufacturing component that allows users to create multiple versions of the same product. Variations can be used to customize products for different customers or to create different versions of the same product for different markets. Variations can also be used to create different versions of the same product for different production processes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the variation feature, users must first create a variation template. This template defines the parameters that will be used to create variations. Once the template is created, users can then create variations based on the template. Variations can be created manually or automatically using a set of rules. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating variations, it is important to consider how each variation will affect the production process. For example, if a variation requires additional parts or materials, it may increase production costs or lead times. It is also important to consider how variations will affect customer satisfaction and product quality.
