Navigation: Production: Variant production No contents entries on this page Contents beas can handle three types of variant production procedures
Item Description Variant The simplest form is variants. 26 variants can be specified per item. The variants run from A to Z. In the BOM and in the routing, you simply specify the variant with which this is used. An extra activation switch is available for each variant. This simple type of variant production is used if no other calculations are needed. This procedure is inflexible but very easy to use. Advantage:
- Very simple operation
- Very quick setup
- Very transparent Disadvantage:
- Limited possibilities Variant generator In the variant generator, any formulas or tables can be stored with every definition in the BOM or routing (item, quantity, active, size, resource, etc.). The formulas or tables obtain their values via source types, which can in turn be assigned any kind of information. This could be information from the product configurator, from the item, from the customer order or simply a manual input. The variant generator is active when creating a calculation or work order. The manually input data is not saved. The product configurator can be used for this. Advantage:
- Theoretically unlimited calculation possibilities Disadvantage:
- If the product configurator is not used, there is no proper user interface
- High training requirement for setup
- Very high setup costs
- Not considered in material requirement planning - unless you create a calculation which the MRP run can reference Product configurator The product configurator includes a graphical configuration. An endless number of configurations can be created, including item number generation and a price calculation. The possibilities are theoretically unlimited as the formula input is user-definable. The product configurator requires the variant generator. The configuration is created at the time of the quotation/order and transferred to the precalculation or production document using the variant generator. Advantage:
- Excellent interface
- Theoretically unlimited calculation possibilities Disadvantage:
- High training requirement for setup
- Very high setup costs
- Not considered in material requirement planning - unless you create a calculation which the MRP run can reference
Each of the three procedures can be used separately or in combination. Each procedure is active once information has been stored for it. Therefore separate activation is not required.
Extended product configurator A second product configurator is available: This is used to create and insert the input forms via "Powerbuilder". Unlike the product configurator, this can be used to tailor the forms to requirements optimally. Rather than working with a maximum BOM, the BOM is created directly in the configuration according to the conditions stored there. This is performed using a script optimized for this purpose. This configurator is fully supported by the precalculation and the work order.
