Beas allows to connect external configurators / configurators created with customized extensions.

BOMs can be generated and tables can be created which will be considered by Beas.

 

Available tables:

beas_config_header

Description of the configuration

beas_config_stl

BoM

beas_config_apl

Routing

beas_config_parameter

Parameter

 

key field is column "vri".

The external configurator works in parallel to the product configurator.

Link to the configuration to be used in sales order is established via column rdr1.U_beas_vri

 

Creating work orders or Precalculations, in the field "configuration" not only the configuration can be accessed but also the external configurations (beas_config_header).

 

To use the configurator, activate it in Configuration wizard – Production – Product configurator – External configurator

 

Configurations can be created manually via Variant production > external configurator:

1. Create a new configuration or edit an existing configuration (Table beas_config_header)

2. Create or edit existing BOMs and routings (beas_config_stl, beas_config_apl)

 

Multi-level BoMs

Multi-level BoMs can be created: In field "itemcode" the item number of the superordinated item is required. Connection via item number (beas_config_stl.art1_id and beas_config_stl.itemcode) That is why assemblies may occur only once in a BoM.

In the view, there is a button Structure to register multi level BoMs.

 

Note:

This works in Precalculation and work order creation. Tools, alternative and parallel routings are not considered.
