The Feature/Option Configuration Inquiry
application provides an easy way to display various "what-if"
configurations of feature items. The user can select different options for a
feature item and analyze their affect on the item's cost and price. The
application also allows the user to manipulate individual unit prices of
selected options if BOMP Setup is set accordingly. This application is
a useful tool for determining if a feature/option structure has been created to
provide the most logical entry of orders in BOMP and COP.
This application is for informational or test
purposes only. For example, it can be used to ensure proper configuration of
features to provide maximum ease of order entry (i.e. required features entered
with the lowest feature numbers). No production orders will be created from
the configurations entered here.
Select Feature/Option
Configuration from the pull down BOMP Inquiry window. The following
screen will then be displayed:
Feature/Option Configuration Inquiry Entry Screen
The following options are

desired mode from the Feature/Option Configuration menu bar.
* Enter the
data requested on the screen.
To return to the menu bar,
press the ESC or F10 key. To leave this application, press X
for EXIT when positioned at the menu bar.
