This chapter contains the topic:

11.1 Setting Up the Subsystem

Navigation

From Advanced Configurator (G3231), choose Define Subsystem

The subsystem functionality is used in Configurator to run the Process Work Orders program (P31410) simultaneously when Configurator orders are entered and processed in Sales Order Entry (P4211). When you enter a configured sales order through P4211, the subsystem signals the Process Work Orders Program (P31410) to update the related work order as well. At the same time, the P31410 will attach the work order parts list and routing, and cost the configured item.

This instruction contains the following steps:

  • To set up the Configurator subsystem

  • To activate the subsystem

  • To stop the subsystem

  • To troubleshoot the subsystem
