	</Header>
	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>A product variant cost structure is calculated for each <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#100011" role="glossary">option set</Link>. This calculation is based on the generic sales price list defined for the generic item linked to the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#100011" role="glossary">option set</Link>, or based on the chosen product variant options for the relevant option set. During this process, product variant options are automatically inherited from higher levels in the generic product structure.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The final sales price for a <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#ProducVarian.td" role="glossary">product variant</Link> is determined based on the various sales price components in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#100012" role="glossary">sales price structure</Link> for the product variant.</Paragraph>

	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Option set quantity</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>For each <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#100011" role="glossary">option set</Link>, the required quantity is determined by SSA ERP based on the generic product structure and the chosen options for product features. The generated sales prices in the sales price structure of the option set are then multiplied by the required quantity for the option set.</Paragraph>

		<Paragraph>If no sales price structure is defined for the first option set of the product variant (option set 0), or if the sales price of the first option set is 0 and the configured product is a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Phantom.ti" role="glossary">phantom</Link> item, SSA ERP automatically generates a sales price plan for the standard components on the first bill of material level of the configured product variant structure. A discount percentage is also determined for the generic components based on the first bill of material level of the sales price information.</Paragraph>
