Understanding Configured Text

Configured or generic text for a configured item is displayed in a media object. The generic text that is generated for a configured item is based on the setup that is defined on Configured Item Segments (P3291).

Configured text can include:

• Part number of the configured parent.

• Segment number.

• Segment description.

• Segment value.

• Description of the associated UDC table value.

During order entry, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system generates one copy of text for each configured item and attaches it to the Configurator Master Table (F3201). The generic text can be accessed from a Row menu on an inquiry form in an order entry program such as Sales Order Entry (P4210), Purchase Order Entry (P4310), or Manufacturing Work Order Processing (P48013).

Attaching the generic text to the F3201 table, rather than directly to an order, enables both greater control of the text and use of the text for each order.

The Substitute Configured Item Text processing option on the Processing tab of the Configured Item Revisions program (P3210) controls how the generic text is generated. The processing option enables you either to replace all of the text every time a change is made or to append the new text to the bottom of the existing text.

If the system generates purchase orders for components of configured items during order entry, the configuration specific information is sent to the supplier in the form of media objects.
