We use multi level product variant configuration and we would like to know if there is a function available to read that configuration when we print the work order. In that multi level configuration we can have same component twice with different characteristics.
Please try CUXI_GET_SINGLE_CFG_BY_REMOTE. In order to get the GUID, you can use the function CUCB_GET_PERSISTID_OF_INSTANCE by passing the AFPO => CUOBJ as Persistance ID.

The cleanest solution I have found is to use a Enterprise Service (SAP ECC web service) call to read the production order. This web service provides the material characteristics as described in the documentation:
