Summary :
When integrating material variants as components in multi-level configurations, interactive configurations (such as in VA01 and CU50) may fail to process the object dependency, resulting in the non-explosion of the bill of material. This reflects intended SAP system behavior, where material variants, governed by their definitions in the material master, resist modifications during such configurations. Their bill of materials, determined by material requirements planning and production stages, should remain consistent and unaffected by configuration profiles or session-specific changes. However, activating a system adjustment via Include LCUKOFCK in function group CUKO can allow the explosion of the bill of material and process the configuration profile object dependency while ensuring that the material variant characteristics visible during configuration are not saved persistently for subsequent planning or production processes.
