Configurator

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

The configurator simplifies building a quote by presenting the user with a list of products to choose from step-by-step.  The list of products displayed at each step will be based on the previous selection.

 

The lists of products and number of steps are specified when the configuration is setup.  One of the main advantages of using the configurator is that once it has been setup, the sales rep can very easily pick products from the lists presented to them, ensuring that the sales rep will not forget to add products they should.

 

The configurator will take you through a step-by-step process, letting you select products from a list of choices at each step.  For example, if you sell stereo systems, the configurator could be used to present the user with the following choices at each step:

 

Step 1: Choose from a list of receivers.

Step 2: Choose from a list of CD Players.

Step 3: Choose from a list of speakers.

Step 4: Choose from a list of cables.

Step 5: Choose from a list of delivery and installation options.

Step 6: Choose from a list of extended warranties
 

 

 

 

Create a sales process to walk your sales people through the quoting of a system or a configured product

 

 

 

Different Types of Configurations:

Simple Configuration - When a simple Configuration is added to the quote, all the line items will be added to the quote with no relation to each other.
 
Grouped Configuration - When a grouped Configuration is added to the quote, all the line items that are added will be logically grouped together.  In addition, a grouped Configuration can have its own Part Number, Description, Discount, and Tax Code.
