Configure item (form)
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Use this form to define new configurations and select between existing configurations.
Click Product information management > Common > Released products.
Select a product. On the Action Pane, click Engineer tab > Configuration group > Maintain configurations > Configure.
The upper pane shows the configuration groups that are associated with each of the bill of materials (BOM) lines in the Lines form. For each configuration group, you can select between the item numbers and configurations that are associated with the individual configuration groups in the BOM.
The lower pane contains existing configurations, which you can click to select.
Note
If you select a new configuration and then click OK, you are prompted for a configuration identification or one is assigned automatically. This is controlled by the setup of the configuration voucher series in the Number sequences form, or when you click the Number sequences link in the Inventory parameters form.
You can define the sequence of configuration groups in the Bills of materials form. In the Configuration rules form, you can define the rules used to configure a new configuration. For example, you might decide that the choice of an item number for one configuration group automatically provides a choice of item numbers for another configuration group.

Select a BOM that is not active. This is only possible if the item has several BOMs. |

Enter the name of either the current configuration group or the configuration route. |
Item number |
Select the item number for the current configuration group. The options are those BOM lines that specify the current configuration group, and whose current date is in the period of validity for the BOM lines. |
Configuration (Upper pane) |
A variation of the current item. A blank field means that the variation does not exist, and that a new one will be created by using this configuration ID. |
