Setting Up a Configuration Interface for an Item or Job

Note:  The following information applies only if you have installed Infor CPQ Configurator.
  1. Set up CloudSuite Industrial to work with Infor CPQ Configurator.
    Note: In the cloud environment, this step is completed automatically. You should not change entries unless advised by Infor.
    1. On the Inventory Parameters form, specify the URL used to access the Infor CPQ Configurator application. Save your changes.
    2. Specify the name of the Configurator Application ID.
    3. If you are going to do header-level configurations, specify the Header Name Space.
    4. After you set up the fields on the Product Configuration tab, restart CloudSuite Industrial so that the Configure buttons are enabled throughout the system.
      Note:  If you change these values later, you must log out of CloudSuite Industrial and discard the IDO cache through Configuration Manager. Then restart CloudSuite Industrial. If you change the Configuration server, you must also restart the Infor Framework IDO Runtime Service before you restart CloudSuite Industrial.
  2. Set up items to be configurable.
    1. On the Items or Multi-Site Items form, select or enter the item number of the item that you want to be configurable.
    2. Select the General tab.
    3. To allow users to configure order information for the item, select the Order Configurable check box.
    4. To allow users to configure job information, select the Job Configurable check box.
    5. If the item is both order-configurable and job-configurable, select an Auto Job Generation option:
      • To automatically create the job after order configuration is complete, select Always.
      • To ask the user whether to create the job after order configuration is complete, select Prompt.
      • To never automatically configure the job, select Never. Users must create the job manually, using the job cross-reference feature.
    6. Specify the Name Space to use for this item.
    7. Save the item.
