Use this form to define rules for selecting configurations that
determine correlations between individual configuration groups and
item numbers in a bill of materials (BOM).
Navigating
the form
The following tables provide descriptions for the controls in
this 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

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.
