产品配置参数 (tipcf0100m000)

The date and time that the parameters were changed. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting. The current set has no effective date.

The description of the parameter set. For example, you can indicate why you changed the parameters.

多层产品配置选择结构

如果选中此复选框， product configuration is applied at multiple levels of the generic product structure.

You can use a multi-level question structure for the configuration of product variants. The advantage of using this structure is that product features are linked to the proper generic items, which results in a more modular configuration structure.

The structure also enables LN to include or exclude certain sets of questions during the product configuration process.

Note: 

The check box is not visible unless the 产品配置器 (PCF) check box is selected in the 已实施的软件组件 (tccom0100s000) session.

以客户语言显示产品配置

如果选中此复选框， the product configurator displays the descriptions of features, options, and constraints in the customer's language. This feature is an important aid for a proper communication with the customer, particularly in the case of telephone sales.

如果清除此复选框， the product configurator displays the descriptions of product features, options and constraint validation messages in the employee language.

Note: 

The 产品配置 module is language-independent, which means that you can record, for example, the descriptions of product features and options in any language. This is especially of value for the communication with customers and other external relations.

The check box is not visible unless the 产品配置器 (PCF) check box is selected in the 已实施的软件组件 (tccom0100s000) session.

显示隐含选项

如果选中此复选框， implicit option values are visualized by the product configurator. This means you use constraints to determine whether or not certain product features or questions must be filled, and whether a default option value is applicable. With the input of an implicit option value you can also use constraints to indicate whether or not the relevant product feature must be visible during the product configuration process.

Note: 

• You can always deviate from the setting by explicitly specifying this in the constraint of the relevant product feature.
• The check box is not visible unless the 产品配置器 (PCF) check box is selected in the 已实施的软件组件 (tccom0100s000) session.

如果清除此复选框， implicit options are not visualized by the product configurator.

生成销售报价单文本

如果选中此复选框，LN generates sales quotation texts for sales quotations after the product configuration process.

Note: 

The check box is not visible unless the 产品配置器 (PCF) check box is selected in the 已实施的软件组件 (tccom0100s000) session.

识别物料代码

This parameter affects the way in which LN generates the item code for the product variant when you run the 生成销售订单的（项目 PCS）结构 (tdsls4244m000) session in the 项目控制 module.

如果选中此复选框， the customized item code that LN generates in the 项目控制 module is identical to the generic item code, or to the code generated using the 通用物料数据生成设置 (tipcf3101m000) session.

如果清除此复选框， LN generates a new item code for each product variant. To generate the new item codes, LN adds a sequence number to the generic item code. You can specify the exact position of this sequence number in the 物料代码序号起始位置 and 物料代码序号终止位置 fields of the current session.

Note: 

• The check box is not visible unless the 产品配置器 (PCF) check box is selected in the 已实施的软件组件 (tccom0100s000) session.
• If you generate a project structure for a customized item, you must clear this check box. In that case, the new configured item has no PCS project code as a distinctive feature, so the item code must be distinctive.
• If a customized item is created in a project that would result in two product variants having the same item code, an error occurs during the generation of the project structure.

物料代码序号起始位置

This field determines the starting position of the generated sequence number for the 识别物料代码.

Note: 

• A value can be specified in this field only if the 识别物料代码 check box is cleared in this session.
• Sequence numbers can start from position 28 and cannot include more than 20 positions.
• The item code, or the code as set in the 通用物料数据生成设置 (tipcf3101m000) session, together with the generated sequence, form the new item code.

Caution: 

For generic items with the 具有 PCS check box cleared in the 物料 (tcibd0501m000) session, the current field and the 物料代码序号终止位置 field determine how many positions the generated sequence (combination of product variant and sequence number) may have. A position length that is too limited may cause the product variant number to be partly displayed.

示例

Product variant	12345678
物料代码序号起始位置	28
物料代码序号终止位置	31
Generated sequence	7801

Because the total number of positions is four (28, 29, 30, and 31), a fraction of the product variant is used (78) to generate the sequence number.

Product variant	12345678
物料代码序号起始位置	28
物料代码序号终止位置	47
Generated sequence	00123456780000000001

Because the total number of positions is 20 (28 - 47), the generated sequence number can contain the complete product variant number (12345678).

物料代码序号终止位置

This field determines the end position of the generated sequence number for the 识别物料代码.

Note: 

• A value can be specified in this field only if the 识别物料代码 check box is cleared in this session.
• Sequence numbers can start from position 28 and cannot include more than 20 positions.
• The item code, or the code as set in the 通用物料数据生成设置 (tipcf3101m000) session, together with the generated sequence, form the new item code.

Caution: 

For generic items without a PCS project, the current field and the 物料代码序号起始位置 field determine how many positions the generated sequence (combination of product variant and sequence number) may have. A position length that is too limited may cause the product variant number to be partly displayed.

示例

Product variant	12345678
物料代码序号起始位置	28
物料代码序号终止位置	31
Generated sequence	7801

Because the total number of positions is four (28, 29, 30, and 31), a fraction of the product variant is used (78) to generate the sequence number.

Item	GEN00103
Product variant	12345678
物料代码序号起始位置	28
物料代码序号终止位置	47
Generated sequence	00123456780000000001

Because the total number of positions is 20 (28 - 47), the generated sequence number can contain the complete product variant number (12345678).

产品配置器版本

The product configurator version.

The use of the product configurator can be divided in two parts:

1. Product model definition.
2. Use of the product model in an operational situation. In the development stage, the constraints must be tested to ensure that no errors are present, so that the model can be used in the operational situation.

Note: 

you can always switch from one version to another.

The check box is not visible unless the 产品配置器 (PCF) check box is selected in the 已实施的软件组件 (tccom0100s000) session.

Interpreter Version

Constraints must be tested to ensure that no errors are present. As a result, during runtime, constraints are continually read in, and interpreted or compiled. The advantage of the 解释程序版本 mode is that you can immediately test a generic product model after changes are made to certain constraints, without first having to recompile all constraints. A disadvantage is that the performance of the product configurator is reduced.

Object Version

This version is available for the operational situation. During runtime, constraints are directly executed by the product configurator as objects, without the necessity to repeatedly read in and interpret or compile constraints. Compared to the interpreter version, the object version may result in a considerable performance improvement, especially in the case of more complex constraints. Prior to using the object version, all constraints must be compiled in the 按可配置物料编译约束条件 (tipcf2201m000) session. For this purpose, you need the compiler 'bic6.2' of Enterprise Server.

性能方面

此字段的设置会影响系统性能和数据库增长。 如需更多信息，请参见 产品配置器版本.

约束条件来源目录

Before constraints can be compiled, this session first generates constraint sources. These constraint sources are stored in the <path.name>/ppcfcons<company.number> directory of your file system.

Enter the path name of the directory in which you want to store the constraint source. You can enter the full path name or use the current directory as your departure point. In the latter situation, the path name must begin with a period [.].

Note: 

The system adds the name of the constraint source directory to the path name automatically, but you can also add the name yourself. The next time you use this session, the saved directory is presented as the default. In case no directory has been saved, the $BSE/lib/fd<tools.version>.<packet.combination> file is used to determine the default path.

The check box is not visible unless the 产品配置器 (PCF) check box is selected in the 已实施的软件组件 (tccom0100s000) session.

If no directory has been saved, and you are working on a system that has no $BSE/lib/fd<tools version>.<packet.combination> file, you are asked to enter the directory where the sources are to be stored.

约束条件对象目录

Enter the path name of the directory in which you want to store the constraint objects. You can enter the full path name or use the current directory as your departure point. In the latter situation, the path name must begin with a period and a slash.

Note: 

The system adds the name of the constraint object directory to the path name automatically, but you can also add the name yourself. If no directory has been saved, the $BSE/lib/fd<tools.version>.<package.combination> file is used to determine the default path.

The check box is not visible unless the 产品配置器 (PCF) check box is selected in the 已实施的软件组件 (tccom0100s000) session.

If no directory has been saved and you are working on a system that has no file called "$BSE/lib/fd<tools version>.<packet.combination>," you are asked to enter the directory where the objects must be stored.

产品变型的编号组

The number group for product variants.

使用按订单的标准物料的物料清单

In the 产品配置 (PCF) module, you sell variants of a certain product. Product is manufactured according to the customer's wishes by selecting components, or subassemblies from a list of predefined features and options. If you configure a generic item in 产品配置模块 (PCF), the generic bill of material (BOM) is converted to a customized product structure. If a specific configuration is selected often, either on end item or subassembly level, you can create a generic item in the 物料基础数据 (IBD) module. The parameter determines the use of generic items in the customized product structure. You can use the 生成销售订单的（项目 PCS）结构 (tdsls4244m000) session to create a customized product structure.

如果选中此复选框， generic items may be used as parts of the customized BOM. The generic item must be defined in IBD to be available, the components are selected during the generation of the PCS project.

如果清除此复选框， generic items may be used in the BOM, but all components must have the 可定制 check box selected in the 物料 (tcibd0501m000) session.

To use a standard-to-order item multiple times on a PCS project

The use of this 使用按订单的标准物料的物料清单 parameter is twofold. The parameter not only concerns the selection of components for standard-to-order items during project generation as described above, it also determines whether a customized standard-to-order subassembly can be used multiple times in a PCS project for different parent items.

如果清除此复选框， two parent items in a specific PCS project cannot have the similar customized standard-to-order subassembly as a component. After a specific subassembly is used in the first parent item, you cannot use a similar subassembly in a second parent item anymore. The reason is that if a subassembly is used in a specific parent item, it receives a product variant number that conflicts with the product variant number of another parent item that requires the subassembly.

如果选中此复选框， a similar customized standard-to-order subassembly can be used in several parent items for the same project. The first parent item in which the subassembly is used assigns its product variant number to the subassembly. Despite of this product variant number, the subassembly can be used in other customized product structures, with other product variant numbers.

Note: 

如果选中此复选框， and you change a customized standard-to-order subassembly in one of the parent items, the subassembly is also changed in the other parent items in which the subassembly was used.

使用配置的标准物料

如果选中此复选框， you can copy the customized item product structure to the selected standard item configuration in the 复制定制产品结构至标准结构 (tipcs2232m000) session.

如果清除此复选框， the customized item will not be copied to a standard item configuration.

允许重新使用配置

如果选中此复选框， and you enter the same generic item with the same options on multiple lines on a sales order, LN will use the same item code on both lines, if that is possible. This only applies to Job Shop configuration, not to Assembly.

如果清除此复选框， and you enter the same generic item with the same options on multiple lines on a sales order, LN uses a different item code for each sales order line. It is not permitted to use the same customized item with different variant codes on multiple order lines.

Note: 

It is not always possible to use an item code on more than one sales order line. For more information, refer to 具有相同产品配置的多个销售订单行

允许重复使用物料结构

如果选中此复选框， you can reuse a previously configured customized component.

Reuse is allowed if:

• Customized component B is configured for variant 1.
• Customized product A is created for variant 2, and needs customized B.
• When the variants are from the same PCS Project, or if no PCS is used for the same sales order or quote.

外部销售配置

如果选中此复选框， the sales configuration can be received from an external source via Sales Order BOD. The sales configuration is stored in LN.

异步后台处理

如果选中此复选框， the processing of the sales configuration by CPQ is performed by a separate process.

Note: 

Only applicable if the 外部销售配置 check box is selected.

The 产品配置 module enables you to record constraints per generic item. A number of variables predefined in the 产品配置参数 (tipcf0100m000) session are used in these constraints. These variables can be filled only once. This means that once product constraints are defined, the descriptions of the variables can no longer be changed.

The Input Option Value variable enables you to indicate for each product feature whether or not the product configurator must prompt you to enter an option value.

This variable has the following features:

Indicates for each product feature whether the product configurator must display that feature during the product configuration process in case of an implicit option value.

This variable has the following features:

The 产品配置 module enables you to record constraints per generic item. A number of variables predefined in the 产品配置参数 (tipcf0100m000) session are used in these constraints. These variables can be filled only once. This means that once product constraints are defined, the descriptions of the variables can no longer be changed.

This field indicates whether or not the product configurator validates a given product configuration. As a result, you can control the product configuration process and also prevent the configuration or generation of unallowed product variants. Note that product configuration covers all generic product information, such as product features and options, generic item data, generic bills of material, generic routing, and generic price lists.

This variable has the following features:

The 产品配置 module enables you to record constraints per generic item. A number of variables predefined in the 产品配置参数 (tipcf0100m000) session are used in these constraints. These variables can be filled only once. This means that once product constraints are defined, the descriptions of the variables can no longer be changed.

The Message field enables you to generate messages during the product configuration process. These messages are displayed as warnings, notices, or explanations. Messages can be recorded in constraints in the form of texts or text blocks. When you have chosen product configuration in the customer's language, you can enter message in constraints in any language. Consequently, the product configurator generates and displays the message in the language linked to the customer's language code.

This variable has the following features:

The 产品配置模块 (PCF) module enables you to record constraints per generic item. A number of variables predefined in the 产品配置参数 (tipcf0100m000) session are used in these constraints. These variables can be filled only once. This means that once product constraints are defined, the descriptions of the variables can no longer be changed.

The data enables you to let the product configurator determine the data of a product variant item, such as item code, item description, material, size, norm, and item text. The variable data can be used in the "parameter substitution" part of a generic item data constraint.

This variable has the following features:

These variables can be filled only once. This means that once product constraints are defined, the descriptions of the variables can no longer be changed.

With this field you can let the product configurator calculate the purchase or sales price for a product variant, based on, for example, a formula. The final purchase or sales price for a product variant may be composed of multiple price and/or surcharge components. Some data can be recorded in the generic purchase or sales price list for each generic item.

This variable has the following features:
