# Assign item variant variables

If an item variant is linked to a production BOM that contains package variables, you can assign inventory items to each package variable code. When a production order is created for the relevant item variant, the program substitutes package variables from the BOM with the inventory items assigned as item variant variables.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Items**, and then choose the related link.
2. Open the relevant item card. On the **Navigate** tab, in the **Master Data** group, choose **Variants**.
3. On the **Item Variants** page, select the variant to which you want to assign item variant variables.
4. On the **Navigate** tab, in the **Variant** group, choose **Item Variant Variable**.
5. On the **Item Variant Variable** page, fill in the fields.
