         <Paragraph>A line-station variant
        is a device to reduce unnecessary data, and so enhance performance. If you have
        one thousand orders for products, and the operations and materials at the first
        line station of the line are all identical, there is no point in storing
        identical information one thousand times. ERP Enterprise determines that the orders are
        all identical, and makes one LSV. When a new assembly order is generated, ERP Enterprise checks the materials and operations. If the materials and operations are
        different from exisiting LSVs, a new LSV is created.</Paragraph>

         <FuncDesc>Holds identical operations and materials that are used at a
		specific line station for multiple assembly orders. In this manner, the
		identical operations and materials are stored only once, rather than for each
		assembly order. When line station variants are used, less data storage is
		required, and the performance is enhanced.</FuncDesc>

            <SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
            <Paragraph>You produce cars with various features, including two types
		  of wheels: broad and narrow. In the wheel line station, in which the wheels are
		  fitted, all cars with broad wheels are one line station variant, and cars with
		  narrow wheels are another line station variant, regardless of any other
		  specifications, because the other specifications are not relevant to the wheel
		  line station.</Paragraph>
