Saving the Result of Attribute Eligibility

Attribute eligibility status and reason are not saved to the quote or order objects when a configuration session is completed. It is not possible to save these with the configuration changes alone, because the values are not saved to the CxObject in memory.

However, it is possible to save these results using the BatchValidate API for Siebel Product Configurator, described in BatchValidate Method. This API can run attribute eligibility. The ineligible attributes are sent to a log file. The output property that is set from this API contains information on the ineligible attributes.

It is possible to add a custom step to the Sales Order verify process that calls the batch validate API. This step can update the custom fields on the Order XA business component indicating an attribute value as being ineligible. The Order Validation engine then checks that field to confirm that no ineligible values are selected.
