Combining occurrence effectivity and variant configuration

Variant and occurrence date effectivity are occurrence-based configuration methods that operate independently. The View menu includes separate commands to show or hide occurrences that are unconfigured by the two methods. In some cases, you may want to view a specific variant of the product at a particular effective date. In this case, you hide occurrences that are unconfigured by both date and variants. Similarly, you may want to view a generic product at a particular date, in which case, you would hide occurrences unconfigured by date only. To show how a single variant changes with effective date, you can hide unconfigured variants only.
