Configure to Order

If you use PeopleSoft Manufacturing with PeopleSoft Product Configurator, you can create make-to-order or assemble-to-order assemblies. PeopleSoft Product Configurator is a rules-based system that enables you to capture customer requirements and dynamically generate corresponding production requirements. You can define order entry pages for entering and validating configuration information. The configuration information that you enter determines the specific components and operations used in the production process.

The production configuration process takes the detailed configuration information captured during order management and sends requirements to PeopleSoft Manufacturing. The production configuration rules enable you to specify component and operation list elements dynamically without having to create standard BOMs or routings for each specific configuration. The production configuration process generates configured production IDs, component lists, operation lists, and configured costs that you can then track using a configuration code through PeopleSoft Manufacturing.
