A configuration option is an item, such a 17” monitor by Suppell, that’s purchased as part of a collection of configurable options associated together by a configurable property, such as a computer.
This section describes the properties you are required to fill in when you are creating a configurable option. Additionally, you’ll find instructions for associating products and SKUs to the configurable option, which are necessary actions for making a configurable option usable. Keep in that mind that you should associate products or SKU with a configuration option, but not both.
To add a new configuration option:
In the Browse tab, Search tab, or Project tab, select a configurable SKU. To learn how to access these tabs, see Navigation Pane.
In the General tab, find the Configurable Properties property and click the name of the configurable property to which you want to add a configurable option.
The Details pane displays text boxes for the configurable property. At the top of the Details pane, the breadcrumb list has entry for the configurable SKU you were just editing and the configurable property. See Breadcrumb List.
Locate the Configurable Options property, and click Add New beside it.
The Details pane displays text boxes for the configurable option and an entry for that configurable option is added to the breadcrumb list.
Specify a product, if this configurable option will represent a product:
Add or replace a product by clicking the Edit button to open the Select an Item dialog box. Navigate to the product you want to use, click the radio button beside it, and then click OK.
Remove a product by clicking the Clear button.
Create a product that will be automatically associated with the configurable option by clicking Create. The Details pane displays with empty product properties that you should fill in as described in Creating Products
Specify a SKU, if this configurable option will a represent a SKU:
Add or replace a SKU by clicking the Edit button to open the Select an Item dialog box. Navigate to the SKU you want to use, click the radio button beside it, and then click OK.

Create a SKU that will be automatically associated with the configurable option by clicking Create.
