Implementing Variant Configuration (VC) in SAP is a complex process that requires detailed

planning and a thorough understanding of the organization’s product configuration needs.


Here are some essential questions to ask during the VC implementation process:

Business and Process Understanding

1. What are the primary business objectives for implementing Variant


Configuration in SAP?
2. Which products or product lines will be configured using VC?
3. What are the key features and options for the configurable products?
4. Who are the main stakeholders and departments involved in the VC process?
5. What are the current challenges in the product configuration process?

Product and Configuration Requirements

6. How are the configurable products currently structured (e.g., BOMs,


dependencies)?
7. What are the specific characteristics and values for each configurable product?
8. Are there any constraints or dependencies between different product
characteristics?
9. What pricing rules and conditions apply to different product configurations?

System Configuration and Parameters

10. How will the configuration profiles be defined in SAP?


11. What dependencies and constraints need to be defined for product
configurations?
12. How will the configuration data (e.g., characteristics, classes, dependencies) be
maintained?
13. What strategies will be used for maintaining and updating the configuration
models?
14. What is the approach for handling variant pricing and costing in SAP?

Integration with Other SAP Modules

15. How will VC integrate with other SAP modules like SD (Sales and Distribution),
PP (Production Planning), and MM (Materials Management)?
16. What dependencies exist between VC and other processes such as sales order
processing, production planning, and inventory management?
17. How will data flow between VC and other modules be managed?

User Experience and Interface

18. How will users interact with the VC process (e.g., sales configurator, order
entry)?
19. What user interface requirements are there for the product configuration
process?
20. What training will be provided to users for interacting with the VC
functionality?
Reporting and Analytics

21. What key reports and analytics are needed for monitoring and managing VC
processes?
22. How will configuration data be reported and analyzed?
23. What performance metrics (KPIs) will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of
VC?

Testing and Validation

24. What testing strategies will be employed to validate the VC configuration and
processes (e.g., unit testing, integration testing, user acceptance testing)?
25. How will data accuracy and system performance be validated during the testing
phase?

Data Management and Migration

26. How will existing product configuration data be migrated to the new SAP
system?
27. What data cleansing and preparation activities are required before migration?
28. Who will be responsible for maintaining configuration data post-
implementation?

Continuous Improvement

29. How will the VC process be monitored and continuously improved after
implementation?
30. What feedback mechanisms will be in place to gather input from users and
stakeholders?
31. How will system updates and enhancements be managed over time?

Risk Management

32. What potential risks have been identified in the VC implementation process?
33. What mitigation strategies will be employed to address these risks?

Change Management

34. What change management strategies will be used to ensure smooth adoption of
the new VC process?
35. How will communication and training be handled to support the transition to
VC?

Support and Maintenance

36. How will issues and incidents be tracked and resolved?


37. Who will be responsible for ongoing support and maintenance of the VC system?
