Material-Inclusion-List
In this dialog structure, materials can be defined that can be configured with msg.Variant CoFE. With this list, not all configurable materials are relevant but only the materials defined in the Material-Inclusion-List.
This list is only considered when the attribute materialAllMatNrRelevantForConfiguration is not activated in the maintenance view “/TVC/VC_BO_CONF_GLOBAL”.

Supported Languages
If you do not maintain languages in this section, the system uses the default languages. These are German, English, Chinese and Spanish.
As soon as languages are maintained in this table, only those languages are used for msg.Variant CoFE.
Material Configuration
All changes made on the maintenance interface of msg.Variant CoFE are saved in this database table. Do not make changes to the database table but only in the administration interface of msg.Variant CoFE.
These changes in msg.Variant CoFE only affect the configurator interface and are not transported to the modeling environment.

All customers from this sales area can be used for creating the shopping cart. |
| Customer | Unique customer that is assigned to the business partner |
| Default BP | When no entry is stored for the logged in business partner/users, the system uses the necessary information of the default BP. You cannot create a shopping cart when no default BP is maintained. |
Detailed description of external business table
The shopping cart is created with the sales document type and in the maintained distribution channel (sales organization, distribution channel, division) for the corresponding external business partner. This selection is defined each time using a pop-up window after the initial screen. The external business partner can always change this selection as long as the shopping cart is empty. From the moment a product is added to the shopping cart, this is no longer possible.
Pop-Up Window Customer Selection as External Business Partner
External business partners must be maintained as otherwise the shopping cart cannot be configured. When the external business partner of the Customizing table is not defined, the following error message is displayed:
