In addition to physical kits, dynamic physical kits, and bundles, other item types exist that overlap or share these kit types. In IBM® Sterling Configurator Visual Modeler, you can create a model that defines all the configurable options available for an item.
After creating a model item, you can associate it to the corresponding bundle item. Like a bundle item, a model item can be a kit that consists of multiple components.
If an item is configurable, a customer can build that item in theSterling Configurator Visual Modeler application based on the associated model. You can also define preconfigurations of a configurable item in the Sterling Business Center application, and customers can later select from these preconfigurations and modify preconfigurations for which an order has been placed.
When you reconfigure a preconfigured item, that item is replaced with the configurable item associated to the model used. Any time that you reconfigure items, pricing can be affected.
