The configurator bill of material is used in the configuration process to generate a unique bill of material for the configured item. The configurator bill of material includes the rules for selecting real component items and the rules for calculating quantities.
Components in the structure can refer to variable items or fixed items. Variable items refer to a configurator parameter that defines the item selections during the configuration process.
Note: Fixed items are always included in the manufacturing order.
When you set up the bill of material for a configurable item you have two options. You can:
- Set up both the fixed items and the variable items in the configurator bill of material.
- Set up the fixed items in Basic data, i.e. in the item structure for the parent item. Set up the variable items in the configurator bill of material.
You can specify formulas to calculate quantity and price (additional charge) for both variable and fixed components.
