■ Model Items, Bills, and Routing:
  • Item Attributes:
    Please click on the image give below to get better visibility



  • Bills of material structure:
    • Model bill lists the option classes, options, and standard items that
      exist for
      a model. An ATO model can have another ATO model as its component

    • Option class bills can contain standard components, options, other option classes, or models

    • Maximum and Minimum Quantity, Optional, Mutually Exclusive (only applicable to option class items)


  • Routing: Routings for model will be
    applicable to configured item.
■ Order Management Setup:
  • Pricing: The model, option class and all optional items, and
    PTO included items need to be
    on the appropriate price list before you can enter an order. The price
    assigned to the
    model and option classes should include the price of any standard mandatory
    components that are underneath that model.

  • Workflow:
    The AutoCreate Configuration process creates a configuration item for the models,
    option classes and options that you have selected. At the end of the AutoCreate
    Configuration process, the configuration item is linked to the sales order by adding
    a new order line to the sales order. You must assign the Configuration Line Workflow to the order line type you are using to process the rest of the CTO workflow properly.

    To assign the Configuration Line Workflow to the order line type:
    (N) Order Entry > Setup > Transaction Types &> Define
    1. Query the Transaction Type corresponding to your ATO Model order type.
    2. Click Assign Line Flows. This will open the Line Workflow Assignments form.
    3. Create a line workflow assignment with the following values:

    ■ Line Type = Your order line type
    ■ Item Type = Configured Item
    ■ Process Name = Line Flow - Configuration.
