Hi,
This is a great explanation of what I am looking for. I just have a couple of items for clarification. You mention both the basic data 2 tab and MRP 3 tab for linking to the configurable product. I am not sure when to use one vs the other. Would you ever use both? Also, on the sales order entry, rather than starting with the configurable product and then checking for the material variant, you can just directly put the material variant on the order, right? I have a configurable product which serves to essentially bundle a group of finished products together in one catalog product. Building on your example of the BIKE, I have a BIKE-KIT, which includes different helmet options, jersey options, and shoe options in addition to the bike itself. I want to make a material variant of this configuration, using the customers material number, that is setup as a make to order. We have the bike, helmets, jerseys, and shoes stocked so when we receive the order for the material variant, we just have to pull each component from stock and ship it. Is following your example using the MRP3 tab for configuring the variant a best practice for this scenario?
Thanks,
Joseph
