Choosing Options
You can enter configuration options for models or make changes to configurations. Standard value rule settings can default information to line option fields.
If an option line is not part of a ship set or ATO model, or if a model's Ship Model Complete inventory item attribute is set to No, you can enter separate information for each option, including the following:
- request, promise, and schedule dates
If a line is in a ship set or ATO model, or if a model's Ship Model Complete attribute is set to Yes, use the Schedule Group Attributes window to modify scheduling and shipping information for all lines in a ship set or configuration. See: Defining Schedule Group Attributes.
If you are entering several shipment schedules for the same configuration, you should enter the configuration options for the order line before splitting the order line into several shipment schedules, so that you only need to enter the options once. See: Defining Shipment Schedules.
You can also use the Configurator to choose options. See: Using the Configurator from Order Entry and Line Options and the Configurator.
Prerequisites
To assign options to a line:
1. Select a model line in the Sales Orders or Shipment Schedules window, navigate to the Special menu, and select Options.
The Line Options window appears.
2. Choose an option from the list of values for the Item field.
The profile option OE: Item View Method controls whether the list of values displays options by description or by concatenated segment values.
3. Enter the Ordered Quantity.
Oracle Order Entry/Shipping defaults the quantity from the model's bill of material. If the bill allows, you can change the quantity within an accepted range.
To enter or modify pricing information for an option:
1. Navigate to the Pricing alternative region.
2. Enter or modify the Tax Code.
3. Choose pricing attributes for the item according to how you set up your Pricing Attributes descriptive flexfield.
4. Modify the default Selling Price.
The profile option OE: Discounting Privilege controls your ability to adjust pricing. Enter a selling price or choose the Discounts button. The option's line total appears in the Extended Price field. See: Applying Manual Discounts.
Whenever you change an option's selling price, the Configuration Total field is updated. This is equivalent to the Line Total field in the lines block of the Sales Orders window. The Configuration Total field sums the model's extended price (displayed in the Pricing lines alternative region of the Sales Orders window) and the extended price of each option you include in the model.
To enter or modify scheduling information for an option:
1. Navigate to the Scheduling alternative region.
2. Enter a quantity to reserve.
If you enter a partial quantity to reserve, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping places demand for the remaining quantity ordered.

If the profile option OE: Validate Option Line Item is set to Yes, you can choose any warehouse for which the item attribute Customer Orders Enabled is set to Yes for this item. If the profile option OE: Validate Option Line Item is set to No, you can use any warehouse for which the item is defined.
4. Define the Date Requested, Date Promised, and Date Scheduled.
Request date and schedule date can be used as parameters for Pick Release. Schedule date is also used in Oracle Manufacturing as the effective demand date.

After you save your work, the Status field will display the option's new schedule status.
To enter or modify shipping information for an option:
1. Navigate to the Shipping alternative region.

Freight Carrier can be used as a parameter for Pick Release.
