View Configuration

Explanation

This activity is used to view the details for a configured part. It is not possible to change any information.

A configuration is a unique combination of characteristics and options that is used in conjunction with a configurable part. The configuration of a configurable part can be initiated in IFS/Customer Order, IFS/CRM, IFS/Shop Order and IFS/Dynamic Order Processing.

The status of the configuration is always set to Incomplete at the start of a configuration. The status will automatically be set to Complete when all mandatory and optional characteristics have a valid option value. When status is Complete, connected orders can be released for further processing. You can manually change the status to Parked any time during the configuration, which means that connected orders cannot be released until you have manually changed the configuration to Complete.

The configuration for a configurable part can be viewed using the View Configuration assistant. The assistant can be accessed from business opportunity, estimate item, sales quotation, customer order, interim header, shop order and DOP by clicking Configuration and then View.

Prerequisites
