Product Configurator - Template BOM Approach

Hi Folks,

Sorry to resurrect, but I’m really struggling with understanding what I’m doing with trying to make what seems to be a simple configurator. I think Template BOM sounds like best approach. I’ve looked at the 400 page guide on the configurator and I must say, it’s not for the faint of heart.
I wonder if you can look at what I’ve done and am trying to do and let me know if you have any suggestions. I will have many of these configured pump models.

I have a pump, and it has three features, for sake of ease today. I think in designer I will need to provide dropdown list for each feature with the PartNo/Desc, to do the configuration. Here’s an example of data both in spreadsheet and in attempt to start configurator design. I made a method for the parent pump with placeholder feature partnos and then each feature has a choice, where user will pick one.

I’ve toyed with the configurator designer page, but I’m not really sure how to tie this all together. In what order should I make rules vs design?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Nancy
