Understanding Nonstandard Components and Price Adjustments

When you need to add special parts or prices to further configure a configured item, you can enter nonstandard components and price adjustments. Entering nonstandard components and price adjustments enables you to configure the configured item without creating new assembly inclusion rules, tables, or smart parts.

Nonstandard components are priced according to the Kit/Configurator Pricing Method for the configured parent item. Price or cost adjustments are similar to the X assembly inclusion rules that are set up for the configured item. They affect only the sales order, not the work order.

Nonstandard components and price adjustments are added on the Edit Item/Price/Cost form. This form enables you to review all of the order components and prices before the line item is confirmed. Once an item or price/cost is entered, the tree display is refreshed by the system.

You can delete nonstandard components or price adjustments for the configured parent item. You cannot delete standard components and price adjustments. A nonstandard component or price adjustment can be distinguished from a standard component or price by the button that precedes it in the navigation tree on the Edit Item/Price/Cost form.

Note: On the Edit Item/Price/Cost form, items in the tree are added by the P assembly inclusion rule. Prices in the tree are added by an X assembly inclusion rule. The button next to each line in the tree designates whether the line was system-generated from an assembly inclusion rule or user-added.
