What is production BoM variant in SAP SRD-SCM-MD - SCM-Master Data?

SAP Term: production BoM variant

• Component: SRD-SCM-MD

• Component Name: SCM-Master Data

• Description: A structured subset of the specific input products that are used to manufacture an output product. Only variants can be used in a production model and later in manufacturing. In a production BoM, the same input product can be used in more than one variant. Variants can be defined for different output products, but usually the output products are similar. For example, a production BoM can be defined for all engines for a particular model of car. The variants can be defined for individual engine types, for example, a variant can be defined for a 1.6 liter engine, and another variant for a 2.0 liter engine. By using variants in this way, the maintenance of all the input products for similar output products is reduced.

It is also used to define the production process, such as the sequence of operations and the routing of the product. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The production BoM variant can be used to define the components and quantities of a product that is produced in a manufacturing process. It can also be used to define the production process, such as the sequence of operations and the routing of the product. The production BoM variant can be created in SAP using the transaction code CS01. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a production BoM variant, it is important to ensure that all components and quantities are accurately defined. This will ensure that the production process runs smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all routing information is accurate, as this will ensure that the product is produced correctly.
