External configurator

Production > Product Configurator > External configurator

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:

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 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.
