Features: |
|
Engineers choose whether an option, such as color, is displayed during
configuration. Options may or may not be required. Engineers also choose whether
or not they want to display the price, short description, or long description during
configuration. |
|
Two options or values may be added to the item code, as segments, to identify an
item as being new. |
|
Options may be tied to a configuration rule. For example, require (option) color if
(option) fabric is selected. |
|
Rules are user-defined to require or skip a certain option if another is either
selected or omitted. Users can also enforce the opposite of any defined rule. |
|
Each option and its values are linked to a unique routing and bill of material that is
used to build a configured routing and bill of material for new items. |
|
The first level bill of material and configuration options can optionally print on
quotes, order entries, and acknowledgements. |
|
Configured item IDs may include up to four item segments. The first segment uses
the base model ID. This ID is set up in inventory as a standard part. The second
and third segments can include option and/or value descriptions. The fourth
segment is an item counter that is used to define unique configurations. For
example, ChairA-Red-Wheels-000000000001. |
|
Configured items may be up to 30 characters long (and can include dashes or other
segment separators). |
|
Product Configurator may be integrated with manufacturing and sales orders. |
|
Users can select the base item from inventory and choose each option that applies
to the item. |
|
Product Configurator not only configures the new item ID, cost and suggested
price, but it also creates a new price sheet for each unique configuration. This price
sheet is stored in Sage MAS 500 and can be reused if the same configuration is
made in the future. |
