Users are able to use «Text search» when Product no. column is hidden in Manage columns. In this case, the whole line would be highlighted with orange and yellow.
VFY check
WebArchitect provide functionality to search a created free configuration of a single product (BTO-configuration) whether there also exists a corresponding V4Y configurations, that might be ordered via a Channel partner.
This functionality «Check for matching V4Y systems» is available via Search icon at Action panel.
VFY search function will compare each component of the BTO configuration - does it exist in a V4Y configuration? If a missing component in the V4Y could be added via a L-Component – it will be added. To identify L-components, which could be added, the search is making use of E-to L-component mapping in master data – if maintained. If there is no such L-option available, then found VFY system will be shown with NOR build-in component, that could be deleted. If NOR build-in doesn’t appropriate to VFY system – integrity error will be shown. If VFY configuration with exact match exists, then search will show this VFY system. Else, all VFY systems having the same base unit will be displayed.
Build-in components of VFY system that are not part of user configuration or has quantity more than quantity of the same component of user configuration will have red coloring. But indication will be shown only after search performed, it is not kept. Also there are several options that are not really hardware component. For example “No Power Cord Option“. So in case if such components are present in VFY system and doesn’t present in BTO configuration – they will be indicated with brown coloring, not red.
Also, at configuration overview there is opportunity to set checkboxes for components that obligatory should be present in VFY system. Then VFY systems without these components will not be present in search result.
The purpose of the new search function is to potentially reroute the order of a BTO configuration towards Channel partners, for example to improve delivery lead time.
« Check for matching V4Y systems » process:
Add Configurable system, for example, S26361-K1446-V515 (CELSIUS W580). Resolve all conflicts in configuration.
At configuration overview set checkboxes for obligatory components that should contain VFY system. It’s possible to not set, if not necessary.
Go to Action panel, select Advanced search icon and select «Check for matching V4Y systems» function. Confirm your action window is displayed.
Click on Ok button. «Check V4Y match results» group is added to configuration overview with exact or partial search result.
You can start VFY search again after the first search. «Check V4Y match» function is available in Action panel.
WA shows star shape symbols for VFY found systems and their loose components based on the rules below.
When clicking on the star icon the pop-up window with following information is shown:
