Preconfiguring an Item
Trigger:

Concept

You can invoke Oracle Configurator from within Oracle Bills of Material to create a configured
bill of material and routing for a predefined available-to-order (ATO) item. This is very useful in
a business to business environment where the same configuration is ordered repeatedly.
Preconfigured items can be built to forecast and kept on hand. Customers can order the
preconfigured items directly, as they would order a standard ATO item.
 
Use the Oracle Inventory Master Items page to create a new item in the master organization and
assign it to the appropriate manufacturing organization. In the manufacturing organization, create
a new bill of material for your item, without components, in the Bills of Material page. The
Configurator page enables you to pick your options. Once done, this item can be planned,
ordered and stocked, just like a standard item.
 
In this topic, you will preconfigure an item.
