Configuration Type
In Advanced Product Configurator, a configuration type is a set of configurable items such as bicycles, tables, computers etc. that are specified by the same attributes, for example height, width, color or processor type.
A configuration type is linked to settings that specify:
- attributes and possible attribute values,
- attribute dependencies,
- numbering of items and item variants,
- auto creation of descriptions, generating extended texts and translations,
- technological limitations,
- BOM components,
- a routing,
- lead time,
- units of measure and their dependencies,
- purchase and sales prices,
- country of origin.
Important
A configuration type should be created or set up by the user or a team having the necessary technological and product knowledge.
In the further steps of the process, the Configuration Type card is used (by the Configuration card) to automatically create items, item variants, production orders etc.
