From LO-VC to Advanced Variant Configuration: Model Transformation, Congruence Checks and Regression Testing

Explains Advanced Variant Configuration (AVC) and the move away from classic LO-VC: syntax and semantic differences, SAP's transformation tools, and why a configurable model cannot simply be copied across. Its center of gravity is testing: proving that configuration results, BOM explosion, pricing and routing selection are congruent before and after transformation, and releasing the models without disturbing open orders.
