Understanding Configured Item Information

To begin using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system, you must define configured item information and the segments of each configured item.

On the Configured Item Information form, you:

• Define the format in which configured item information appears on order paperwork.

• Define the X assembly inclusion rule based-on dates for sales orders, purchase orders, and work orders.

• Activate dynamic configuration entry.

Configured item information is setup at the item level and stored in the Configured Item Information (F3290) table.

Configured item information must exist before an order is entered for a configured item. If no configured item information is set up for a new configured item, the system generates the information with default values when you define configured item segments in the Configured Item Segments Revision form (W3291L) for the item for the first time. The system sets the based-on date default values for sales orders, purchase orders, and work orders to the requested date.

You can copy configured item information from one configured item to another. When copying configured item information from one item to another, the system copies configured item information from the original (copy-from) item branch to the destination (copy-to) item branch only if a configured item information record does not exist for the destination item branch. If the record already exists for the destination item, then the system does not perform the copy. If the information does not exist for the original item, then the system issues an error.

If you run the Table Conversion for F3290/F3291 program (R893291), the conversion sets the X rule based-on dates to the requested date and disables dynamic configuration entry.
