What is done by multiple employees today can be handled by one VCPowerPack operator with less risk.
Aicomp’s VCPowerPack is the ABAP-based SAP add-on that extends and improves variant configuration (SAP VC) directly inside SAP ERP — in both SAP ECC and S/4HANA. Where standard SAP variant configuration reaches its limits with highly complex, multi-variant products, VCPowerPack turns configuration into a fast, guided and reliable process: from the first quote to the production order. What several specialists handle manually today can be run by a single VCPowerPack operator — with less risk and higher data quality.

More InformationVCPowerPack is the configuration engine that lets manufacturers move from mass production to mass personalization — a core concept of Industry 4.0 (mass customization production, MCP). It combines two disciplines in one SAP-native solution: CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) for the commercial side and CtC (Configure the Configurator) for maintaining the configuration model itself. Together they keep even the most complex product logic manageable — without leaving SAP.
Manufacturers of multi-variant products face real complexity when quoting. VCPowerPack streamlines it: plan-vs-actual calculation, a direct link to inventory and production data, and accurate quotes generated in real time — so sales configures, prices and quotes complex products in a single guided flow.
With Configure the Configurator (CtC), your own team maintains the variant configuration model — rules, constraints and dependencies — without deep ABAP projects for every change. This is where SmartVC modeling keeps large, evolving SAP VC models transparent and maintainable over time.
Calculate your savings potential in configuration, costing and order processing in 3 minutes – based on your own numbers.
VCPowerPack runs inside SAP, not alongside it. Configuration, pricing and the resulting BOMs and routings live on your SAP ERP data — one source of truth from
quote to shop floor. Standardized interfaces connect CAD, MES and e-commerce through Aicomp Connect, so the configured product flows cleanly into every downstream system.
Via RPA (Robot Process Automation) we can automate the generation and management of all your relevant master data for the entire ERP system.
In order to avoid errors during the quotation process, VCPowerPack supports with object dependencies, plausibility checks and detailed status and error messages.
Our claim is speed so that you can concentrate on your business and do not have to wait for the system. Quotations in a few minutes are no problem with VCPowerPack.
VCPowerPack processes all data necessary for a detailed and accurate configuration and calculation. There are no rounding errors or lack of transparency regarding consolidated data.
Mobile integration enables multi-channel sales for a quicker generation of sales documents and master data. Whether from the office, with a customer on a tablet, or on the move.
We understand the necessity to include the data of production and logistics relevant systems in every calculation. Therefore, we take care of the integration into your system landscape.
VCPowerPack supports many areas of your value chain and optimizes all important segments of the configuration lifecycle management, starting with modeling, engineering, sales, manufacturing, logistics and reporting.
CoreVC
CoreVC is a standardized, configurable framework for interaction with SAP variant configuration (LO-VC). It enables the maintenance of multiple product groups within the same SAP configuration and provides the integration of parts lists and routings. Through the object dependencies, as well as the possibility to set the properties for a new calculation of values within the configuration model, you achieve significant performance enhancements.
One configuration model can be used for multiple similar products.
All product related rules and dependencies are integrated in the container for the respective configuration model. They help in setting in-house standards and automating repeating configurations. If, theoretically, a product can be produced in multiple ways, rules can determine which machine is able to facilitate production based on its dimensions. Once found, further rules for the optimal production route (cheapest, fastest, temporarily preferred) are proposed.
Length or weight units for the material can be incorporated metrically or imperially and control offer, contract, and production orders accordingly.
A product family needs to be produced in different locations? Then everyone can revert to the same set of rules. The variant configuration is then fed through the differing, local machine parks.
SmartVC
SmartVC offers you an intuitive and user-friendly configuration interface. Settings for products or components are arranged in a clear and intuitive tree structure. A traffic light system for status checks and well thought-out and detailed status reports simplify adaptions, helping to correct wrong entries. The dynamic display and real time updates enable quick and reliable entries and calculations.
The tree structure of the configuration process allows the user to operate the configuration in a guided fashion. Logically built, it guides the user through the supply chain, from the big picture to the details. The separation in sales, production, and logistic elements also allows a processing by various expert bodies. With that being said, due to our set of rules in CoreVC, this is in nearly a 100% of our customer applications not necessary.
Through a traffic light system, it is evident in every stage of the product description which information are still missing.
Dependent on the input of the user parts of the structure, the user interface opens and closes, thus hiding unnecessary fields and directories.
SmartMD
MD stands for MassData. SmartMD assists with the master data management for material masters, parts list classifications, work place assignments, customer material info records, and so on. Further functionalities for initiating diverse workflows, as well as the work across important interfaces are also integrated. An otherwise sparsely supported manual creation of data and processes is automatically created by SmartMD to a pre-defined moment, which saves time and avoids mistakes.
Through a comprehensive protocol the creation of an object can be retraced. The status report shows possible problems, i.e. that the creation process cannot be conducted by SAP.
Standard SAP transactions are automatically initiated in the background:
Material masters can be created in multiple organizational units (Locations or organizational hierarchy).
Customer material info record (VD51).
Creation of the selling price as master record (VK11).
As a basis for further processing steps, the material newly calculated with certain parameters (CK11)
The new material is allocated to the parts list (CS40).
The new routing is assigned (CA02).
To keep the number of master data low in your system, offers are created with dummy materials. During the course of an order the dummy is replaced with newly created and fully pronounced material number. All additional information, such as texts, remain unchanged.
Updates materials and their respective parts list. Adaption of configuration in case of changed resources, tools or printing plates. This equals a versioning of the material master.
Products of different usage but similar technical specifications, can be combined through separate steps to reduce costs.
If modifications need to be done over time, because texts, manufacturer, packaging scheme, tool number or something similar has changed, adaptions to the materials can be rolled out through mass updates.
Pre-defined upload-data assists with the adoption of master data from the previous system(s). This optimizes the expense, that inevitably occurs during new installations of systems.
VCPowerPack is the configuration core behind Aicomp’s industry solutions. See how it works in practice for ERP for flexible packaging, corrugated packaging, folding carton converters, paper producers or explore the full Aicomp Industry Suite.
SAP variant configuration (SAP VC, LO-VC) is the SAP ERP capability for modeling configurable, multi-variant products through characteristics, classes and rules. VCPowerPack extends it for high complexity and adds CPQ, guided selling and real-time performance.
Yes. VCPowerPack is an ABAP-based add-on that runs in both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA, so variant configuration stays native to your SAP ERP.
Standard SAP VC covers the basics; VCPowerPack adds performance for very complex models, Configure-the-Configurator model maintenance (SmartVC), integrated CPQ and guided selling, and standardized CAD/MES/e-commerce integration via Aicomp Connect.
