A relationship results when an association or correlation between the features and options or associated parts exists within its subassemblies. Configurator enables a manufacturer to configure its existing product to the detailed and specific requests of its customers.
Configurator guides users in the creation of configured end-item product through product definition (features and options), rules, and calculations. The result is a valid, highly configured product.

A configured item is a make-to-order or assemble-to-order item comprised of features requested by a customer. The Configurator module is a tool that automates the process of highly complex products that have specific features, options and calculations.
