Adding a Product with Components as a Component

You can add products with components as components of other products with components. This means you can create products with components that are sub-assemblies and then include them as components in the final product. For example, you sell a configurable power supply and a configurable gearbox as part of an industrial lathe. You can create one product with components for configuring the power supply and one for configuring the gearbox. You can then add both of these component products with components to the industrial lathe product with components.

This task is a step in Process of Designing a Product with Components.

In the Structure view, when you add a product with components to a relationship, its configurable parts do not display. Instead, the product with components displays as a single product.

When you edit a product with components and release it, the changes propagate to all products with components containing it.

Use the following procedures to add a product with components:

• To add a product with components that is not assigned to a class, see Adding a Single Product as a Component.
• To add a product with components that is a member of a class, see Adding Products as Components Using the Class Domain or Adding Products as Components Using the Dynamic Class Domain.
