Changing the Part Number of a No Inputs Configurator

Epicor ERP 10
1

I’m looking to change the part number of a No Inputs Configurator and have ran into an issue doing it. I thought it would be a simple modification of the Record Creation tab in the Config Entry but little did I know that for a No-Inputs Configurator we can’t change the record creation information. Does anyone know a way to update the part number?

I tried updating it in the Document Rules reading the following:

QuoteDtl.PartNum = “blahblahblah”
QuoteDtl.BasePartNum = “CFG-blahblah”

but that caused an error in getting details. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Max

Hi Max,

Can you post the error you’re getting?

I’m not sure you need to (or should) update the BasePartNum. Have you tried just updating PartNum?

Mark,

I added BasePartNum in an attempt to correct the error. Which is really behavior we didn’t want. When I changed the part number getting details tried to get details from the part number and not the configurator. I then changed the base part number in an attempt to get Epicor to realize that it was actually a configured product and to look at the configurator for the details.

Thanks,
Max

So you’re entering the No Input configurator part number in the Quote, click Configure, and setting the part number without error but when you do a Get Details on the quote line you’re getting an error? Can you post that error? What version are you running?

Mark,

It’s an error in the fact that it tries to get details from that part and not the configurator. It doesn’t actually generate an error message just has the new part number in the details information instead of CFG-blahblahblah.

That made me think that if I changed the base part number to the CFG-blahblahblah that it would pull the configurator when trying to get details.

I’m sorry if I’m not explaining myself very well, I’m still relatively new to Epicor and don’t know all the lingo. We’re running Epicor 10.1.600.3

Thanks,

Hi Max,

The flow I have used is:

Enter the CFG-blah number in the part number field on your quote. Enter a quantity for that line. Click the Configure… button. Once the configuration completes, it will fill the base part number for you automatically and the CFG-blah will get overwritten by your document rule.

Save that line then go to your quote details and then do a Get Details.

Hi Max,

I am experiencing the exact same problem. Using 10.1.600.18. Did you ever find a solution?

Jon,

Unfortunately I was never able to find or create an adequate solution for us.
