Create configuration rules

  • Article

This procedure creates configuration rules that can be used for dimension-based configuration to enforce or prevent certain combinations of BOM lines.

This is the seventh procedure of an eight-procedure sequence that explains how to build combinations for dimension-based configuration. You should do all eight procedures, in order, because each new procedure builds on data created by the previous procedures. To work through this sequence by using the sample records and values that are specified here, you must be on a system where the standard demo data is installed, and you must select the USMF legal entity before you begin.

  1. Go to Product information management > Bills of materials and formulas > Bills of materials.
  2. In the list, find and select the desired record.
    • Find and select the BOM for the dimension-based configuration.
  3. On the Action Pane, select Options.
  4. Select Change view.
  5. Select Header view.
    • Open the header view to access the Configuration route FastTab.
  6. Expand or collapse the Configuration route section.

  11. In the list, select the link in the selected row.
  12. In the Method field, select an option.
    • It is possible to enforce either a selection or a deselection of an item from another configuration group.
