| # Product Configurator (tipcf5120m000) Use this session to configure a specific product variant by choosing from the available options for each product feature. After a product variant is configured, you can generate the product variant structure in the Generate (Project) Structure for Product Variant (tipcs2220m000) session on the basis of the generic product structure and the chosen product variant options. You can activate the product configuraton in one of the following sessions: Product Variants (tipcf5101s000). Generate (Project) Structure for Product Variant (tipcs2220m000). Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1101s000). Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000). Element Budget (Material) (tpptc1110s000). Activity Budget (Material) (tpptc2110s000). Planned PRP Warehouse Order (tppss6115s000). Product features of option sets lower in the configuration structure are automatically inherited from higher levels. This means that the option values for product features in the upper levels of the configuration are automatically exported to the lower levels in the configuration structure. Horizontal dependencies between option values in the configuration structure are achieved with the help of global variables. When an option set is initialized, the option value is initialized from the higher option sets by inheriting. This is performed for each product feature that belongs to the option set. Afterwards, the before-input option constraint section is performed. During this process, the option value is initialized with the default value that you defined in the Before Input constraint. The option set is then read.

The specification results from the configuration process and includes information such as feature options, company, and assembly line. Example If your item is a bike, you can have three product variants: A red bike produced on assembly line one. A blue bike produced on assembly line two. A red bike produced on assembly line two. In this example, color and line are product variant options. Option Set Identifies a set with product features and options for a generic item within the generic product structure. Generic Item An item that exists in multiple product variants. Before any manufacturing activities are performed on a generic item, the item must be configured to determine the desired product variant. Example Generic item: electric drill Options: 3 power sources (batteries, 12 V or 220 V) 2 colors (blue, gray). A total of 6 product variants can be produced with these options. Sequence A number that determines the sequence. A number that determines the sequence in which: records are displayed in an overview session or list box components such as features are shown in the user menu (user dialog). Product Feature The code of the product feature. Option Options per product feature are aspects that specify the product feature. For instance 'red' can be an option of the feature 'color'. Text If this check box is selected, an additional text is displayed. Initialize Variant LN deletes the recorded product variant definition. You can then redefine the product variant, choosing from the available product variant options. Initialize Option Set LN deletes the relevant option set as well as all derived option sets on lower levels in the generic configuration structure. You can redefine the option set in question by choosing one of the available product variant options. Product Variant Option Sets LN starts the Product Variant Option Sets (tipcf5510m000) session. Product Variant Structure LN starts the Product Variant Structure (tipcf5511m000) session. Product Variant Options LN starts the Product Variant Options (tipcf5520m000) session. Product Variant Sales Price Structure LN starts the Product Variant Sales Price Structure (tipcf5530m000) session. Product Variant Sales Price Structure LN calculates the sales price structure for the selected product variant. |
