Initial Situation

As an alternative to the current configuration process and the SAP GUI configuration interface, msg systems ag has developed a SAPUI5-based interface and surface that utilizes data from the SAP backend.

The application combines a user-friendly configuration interface while simultaneously using the configuration models in SAP. The maintenance of product presentation for, e.g., graphical and textual supplementary information or the representation of characteristics and characteristic values is carried out through a modern web-based maintenance application, without additional development effort.

Among other things, the msg.Variant CoFE (Configuration Frontend) offers the following capabilities:

  • Utilization of configuration models in SAP
  • No additional configuration logic required
  • Support for configuration with context-related graphical and textual supplementary information
  • Price determination in the configurator
  • Reuse of existing configurations
  • Various display variants of the configuration interface integrated by default
  • Individual display forms of characteristics and characteristic values

This document describes how the data for the new interface must be maintained in order to configure a configurable material in the msg.Variant CoFE. The settings require basic knowledge of SAP variant configuration.
