The Journey Matters: The Path from SAP LO-VC to SAP S/4HANA Advanced Variant Configuration
The transformation from SAP LO-VC to SAP S/4HANA Advanced Variant Configuration (AVC) is more than just a technical upgrade – it is a strategic investment in your digital future. As a leading SAP implementation partner for AVC, we combine deep expertise from both worlds with proven transformation methods to guide your journey – whether through Brownfield, Greenfield, or Bluefield approaches.

- Enhanced Experience: Added Value for Every Stakeholder
Support your entire organization: Sales works with intuitive FIORI interfaces, modelers benefit from enhanced constraint functions and variant table management, and management gains through seamless process integration and control.
- SAP LO-VC is in maintenance mode
SAP S/4 Public Cloud no longer supports LO-VC. While LO-VC is still available in the Private Cloud and On-Premise, it is in maintenance mode, meaning no new functionalities or process integrations will be delivered. As a result, companies are encouraged to consider transitioning to SAP S/4HANA Advanced Variant Configuration as soon as possible. For example, the new processes in solution configurations (Solution Order & Solution Quote) already require the use of SAP S/4HANA Advanced Variant Configuration.
LO-VC to AVC: Your structured Transformations-Roadmap
Benefit from our proven 6-step process for a secure and efficient transformation. As a leading SAP AVC partner, we guide you from the initial analysis to the optimized solution.
STEP 1 - Strategic Scoping
We evaluate your data models, determine the optimal transformation approach (Brownfield/Greenfield/Bluefield), and develop a tailored migration strategy based on your requirements.
STEP 2 - Comprehensive Planning
Precise project definition – from transformation sequence to tool selection and testing. We establish a solid project framework with clear milestones.
STEP 3 - Implementation
From detailed analysis of existing models to careful design and standardized implementation. With expert handling of complex components like variant tables and multi-level configuration profiles.
STEP 4 - SAP-compliant Validation
Comprehensive testing based on SAP Best Practices. Validate the entire end-to-end process chain through systematic comparison between LO-VC and AVC – from functional configuration to process integration.
STEP 5 - Controlled Go-Live
The transition to AVC is controlled and risk-free. LO-VC and AVC can run in parallel, allowing for a smooth transition. Adjustments can be made at any time, and ongoing processes remain unaffected. This ensures maximum security during the migration.
STEP 6 - Excellence in Hypercare
Leverage our deep AVC expertise for the continuous improvement of your transformed models. Systematic analysis of transformation results, performance optimization, and the integration of new AVC features as they become available.
