Configuring Variant Items in .NET UI
As indicated by the three tabs in the Questionnaire window, you go
through three major steps to configure a variant item.
1
View existing configurations.
Before you start actually configuring an item for a customer, browse
through existing variant items associated with the current generic
item in the Existing Configurations screen to see if the configuration
you are looking for has already been created or if you can modify a
similar configuration to meet your specific requirements.
If you find an existing variant item that exactly matches your
requirements, you can directly submit it to add it to the sales order
line and skip all the subsequent configuration steps.
If you find a configuration that exactly matches your requirements,
but no variant item has been created from it, you can create a new
variant item based on this configuration and add it to the sales order
line.
If you find an existing configuration that partially matches your
requirements, load the configuration into the questionnaire to reuse it.
You can then customize the configuration as needed in the Configure
Item screen and proceed to review and submit the configuration to
create a new variant item from it.
If a saved configuration is unfinished, you can load it to complete the
configuration.
Of course, if there is no existing configuration that you can reuse, you
can always create a new configuration from scratch.
2
Configure item.
Whether you load an existing configuration or create one from
scratch, you customize your configuration in the Configure Item
screen. You do this by answering a list of questions that correspond to
the current generic item features. When you finish answering the
questions, you have created a configuration result and you then
proceed to review and submit your configuration.
3
Review and submit configuration.
After you have completed the Questionnaire questions, review the
complete configuration summary information to make sure that
everything is correct.
