		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>With the product variant code, you can generate various variants for a generic item. The code is a unique identification of a specific product variant. The code can originate from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf5120m000" role="session">Product Configurator (tipcf5120m000)</GUIRef> session that can be activated from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls" role="module">Sales Control</GUIRef>, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcs" role="module">Project Control</GUIRef>, and <Link href="/baanerp/tp/onlinemanual/tpptc" role="module">Project Budget (PTC)</Link> module.</Paragraph>
