Constraint Types

You can define messages and actions to take effect when constraint action values are met. Enter the constraint action value True or False in the Evaluate If field in the Assign Constraints window. You can define the type and content of the messages, define actions to prevent further order processing, and define items to add to the order.

Suggestion You can select this constraint type for any constraints assigned to option classes, models, and configurator system types.

Once you validate the order, and the constraint action is met, a message window displays "Suggestion" and your message.

You can continue processing the order and are not required to make any further corrections.

Warning You can select this constraint type for any constraints assigned to option classes, models, and configurator system types. Once you validate the order, and the constraint is violated, a message window displays "Warning" and your message.

You can continue processing the order and are not required to make any further corrections.

Overridable Error You can select this constraint type for any constraints assigned to option classes, models, and configurator system types. Once you validate the order, and the constraint is violated, a message window displays "Error" and your message.

You can override the error, continue processing the order, and are not required to make any further corrections. If you do not override the error, booked orders are automatically placed on a line level configuration hold to prevent further processing.

Error You can select this constraint type for any constraints assigned to option classes, models, and configurator system types. Once you validate the order, and the constraint is violated, a message window displays "Error" and your message. Booked orders are automatically placed on a line level configuration hold to prevent further processing. You must correct the error to continue processing the order.

AutoSelection You can select this constraint type for any constraints assigned to option classes and models. You can define any number of items to add to the configuration based on your product constraints.

Once you validate the order, a message window displays your message. The Product Configurator automatically selects defined autoselection options when the security rules permit adding options, and places the order on a line level configuration hold when the order entry security rules prevent adding options.

AutoExclusion You can select this constraint type for any constraints assigned to models. You can define any number of items to exclude from view in the configurator window.

AutoExclusion constraint types do not display messages.
