SAP R&D presented the new SAP S/4HANA Variant Configuration solution and roadmap at the ASUG Webcast taking place on August 16th 2016. (Walldorf/Chicago).
The presentation was about today’s solution, planned innovations and the future direction of variant configuration capabilities in SAP S/4HANA. The delivered solution in SAP S/4HANA on Premise 1511 primarily focused on the compatibility with existing variant configuration models.
In the planned innovations section, the highlights are Embedded Analytics based on CDS views using variant configuration and/or classification data, and the planned UI5 harmonized UX for variant configuration/classification apps.
Finally, the highlights of the future direction will be the new state-of-the-art configuration engine, which is highly compatible with existing configuration models, and the new integrated reusable configurator with SAP Fiori UX integrated into the sales order and material master apps. This will provide higher flexibility when defining the configuration UI. Furthermore, this will also improve user guidance with precise value restrictions and will enhance conflict handling.
