# Variant Management

## How to Derive an Order

| ### What to do:
| In order to work through this example, you must have completed the example Create an Order (Vari.).
| Select Start > Orders > Orders. The Orders Form is opened.
| Select the order ORD-1000-B EP Ball Pen.
| Select the tab Positions with the left mouse button.
| Select the item ART-1000-B EP Ball Pen.
| Select Create order spec. structure from the context menu. Now, the order is derived, i.e. an order-specific bill of material is created which takes account of variant wildcards and optional items (if appropriate).
| If you have created default variants or optional items, Agile e6 displays additional queries. If this is the case, select the corresponding example for deriving order with default variants or optional items.
| Before the structure can be derived completely, Agile e6 requests to select a variant. For this purpose, Agile e6 displays the corresponding variant form of the variant wildcard. The variant wildcard name can be seen in the mask header or taken from the info text. Select the variant ART-1200-B Ornamental Ring (blue).
| Press ENTER to confirm the variant selection.
| The variant is now added to the structure, and the structure derivation is completed.
