Oracle Configurator Basics

Oracle configurator can be thought of as a selling machine if there is a model bill against which to configure by selecting options. Oracle configurator can also be thought of as an engineering machine if there is no model bill. An engineering machine could generate a bill. Configurations created with Oracle Configurator are standard bills based on an already existing model bill. Oracle Configurator does not have to be based on bills of material, although that is currently necessary for ordering and downstream ERP. To pass orders to Order Management, Telesales and Sales for Comms use Order Capture.Order Capture, iStore, and HTML Quoting use Order Capture APIs. Sales Online uses HTML Quoting. Oracle configurator is an application or part of an application that lets a user configure products and services. The configuration model, which is typically based on a BOM model, consists of structure, rules, and UI definition. A configuration of selections can be ordered and built because it represents a BOM. Pricing in Oracle Configurator is handled by the hosting application. If list prices are imported with the BOM, Configurator can display item prices and totals.
