The features in this module include:

• Multiple items can be configured with the same configuration at the same time
• Items with different configurations can be entered on the same sales order
• Additional inventory items and modular items can be added to a model item during configuration
• The configuration for a model item must be valid before a work order can be generated for the item
• Configuration validity is governed by the attributes and by the minimum and maximum items for prompts
• Mandatory attributes must be met before a work order can be generated for an item
• Attributes explanations and where they are used can be viewed during configuration
• Modular bill configuration can be viewed in four different ways:
  • The tree view is an indented view structure indicating the levels of the prompts, kits, and inventory items that are a part of the model item
  • The working view expands all prompts and models for which a selection must be made
  • The flat bill of maintenance shows only the inventory items selected for the configured model item
  • The inventory availability view allows you to see the quantity available for each of the selected component items
• Pricing for components and models are governed using all available NDS pricing options:
  • Model Pricing, where a model item has one specific price regardless of component pricing, can be applied to models, including modular items at the component level
  • Model item prices can be calculated by the sum of the component prices
  • Discounts and list prices for components and modular items can be applied from the pricing matrix
  • Margin pricing can be applied to modular items
• Component item pricing can be displayed
• Available to promise inventory information can be viewed for an item
• Buying and selling information can be viewed for the item
• Reservation of controlled component items

• Routings can be entered for model items at any level in the configuration
• Components selected during configuration can be viewed from the sales order for the model item
• Model item configuration can be updated if the model item record is changed in the model item maintenance program
• String Configuration where a string of characters entered on the sales order line will configure the model item automatically
• Fixed quantity components or quantity per assembly components can be assigned to models
• Automatic configuration of modular product based on property values which determine the configuration
