      <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="manual">

            </Link> module.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>You can also start
		  this session manually if a customer wants information about options and prices
		  without any obligation. In the implementation stage of the product model, the
		  session is used to test whether the product model is in accordance with the
