Product Configurator - pass info to subconfigurator

Hello everyone,
Is anyone familiar with how to pass info to a subconfigurator for a subassembly?
Color is the easiest example. The “top level” system gets a color picked but it would be nice if I could pass that info to the subconfigurator so the user doesn’t have to pick color for a second time.

Thanks in advance.

You may wish to utilize global input variables. See the configurator technical reference guide for your version. It will explain more about them.

That’s exactly it.
Thank you

Cool! Let me know if you need any other configurator help.

Hi @utaylor I do have another question for you. Do you know of a way I can get the costs for the configured item without having to run Actions >> Quote line >> Mfg Materials >> Get Details?
I do this in my testing but it would be great if customer service doesn’t have to do this.
Ideally I’m trying to get the costs and then mark it up X%.

Ideally, the quote worksheet works great but it would be nice to get it without having to go through those other steps.
Thanks for your help.

Hi @paulosborne ,

I would suggest asking this to the forum in another post.

I do not know how to do what you are asking, but there might be some others on this forum who do.

Ok. thanks.

I have a feeling you would need to go into the part cost table for every material in your method.

That gets me about 90% of the way there. The other part is the labor/burden to assemble the final piece. That isn’t covered in part costs for the BOM.
