Use variants
You can use variants to provide variations of a standard process (master model) that differ in certain aspects, for example, with regard to regional conditions or requirements. Variant management improves process quality by eliminating duplicate data storage, rework, delays, errors, and inefficient administrative tasks.
Enhanced variant management
As an alternative to 'classic' variant management, you can use enhanced variant management. The variant relationship between the master model and its variants allows changes in the master model to be easily rolled out. During the roll-out process, master owners and variant owners are notified by e-mail about status changes.
