  • Key Concepts: 
    Specifying product variants is a process in SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) that allows users to define and manage the different versions of a product. This process is used to create and maintain product variants, which are different versions of the same product that have different characteristics. The process involves creating a master variant, which is the base version of the product, and then creating additional variants based on the master variant. The variants can be customized by changing certain characteristics such as color, size, or material.
    
    How to use it: 
    In order to use this process, users must first create a master variant in the SRD-PLM-PD PRO-PLM workcenter. This master variant will serve as the base version of the product and will contain all of the necessary characteristics for the product. Once the master variant has been created, users can then create additional variants based on the master variant. These variants can be customized by changing certain characteristics such as color, size, or material.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a master variant, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary characteristics are included in order to ensure that all of the variants created from it will be valid. Additionally, when creating additional variants from the master variant, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary characteristics are changed in order for them to be valid.
