15.2 About Sales Orders

After you have set up the segments, cross-segment editing rules, and assembly inclusion rules for a configured item, you can enter a sales order for the configured item.

When you enter a sales order for a configured item, the Configuration Management system automatically prompts you to enter values for the segments of that configured item. You set a processing option to select from the following sales order entry modes:

  • Assisted mode

  • Assisted prompt mode

  • Text mode

The system edits each segment value against user defined code tables, ranges and numeric specifications. The Sales Order Entry program also processes cross-segment editing rules to validate feature and option compatibility. If there are no errors, the system processes the segment values according to the assembly inclusion rules.
