Use this session to:

  • Quickly validate multiple product variants that are exchanged between companies by means of EDI.
  • Calculate the sales price for a range of product variants
  • Display the errors that occur during the validation process
  • Check which product variants have an invalid configuration
Note

This session performs the following actions for the selected range:

  1. Validates the product variant against the functionality of the Product Configurator (tipcf5120m000) session. The product variant is validated by the product configurator, provided the configuration of the variant is valid. If the configuration is valid, the Product Variant Valid check box is selected in the Product Variants (tipcf5501m000) session. If the configuration is not valid, you must change the configuration of the product variant in the Product Configurator (tipcf5120m000) session.

Calculates the product variant's sales price, using the functionality of the Calculate Product Variant Sales Price Structure (tipcf5230m000) session.

If you select the Overwrite Sales Price check box, LN overwrites the existing sales price calculated for the product variant in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session or the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session, with the newly calculated sales price.

  • 3 power sources (batteries, 12 V or 220 V)
  • 2 colors (blue, gray).

A total of 6 product variants can be produced with these options.

Overwrite Sales Price
