Overview tab

If you open this form from:

  • form

    The form will show all BOM lines attached to the BOM version. In this case, you specify the whole relation between different items with different configuration groups. The following example specifies how the items from the two configuration groups must go together:

    Cartridges

    Blue cartridge

    Select

    Barrels

    Blue barrel

    Cartridges

    Red cartridge

    Select

    Barrels

    Red barrel

    Cartridges

    Black cartridge

    Select

    Barrels

    Black barrel

  • form

    The form is opened from a specific line with a specific configuration group attached to it. In this case you only specify the configuration selections that can be made in relation to this line.

    For example, when you open the form from the BOM line for Blue cartridge, you specify only the configurations that are allowed with Blue cartridge. To create a rule that configures Blue cartridgewith Blue barrel, you have to select the derived group Barrelsand select Blue barrel.

This field is used to find the rules that are activated for a given item number and configuration group. The field is related to the contents of the field.

The following methods are available:

  • – The derived configuration group, item number, and configuration cannot be selected if the combination specified in the and fields is selected when you set the configuration.

  • – The derived configuration group, item number, and configuration will automatically be selected if the combination specified in the and fields is selected when you set the configuration.
