Sample configurator code for newbies?

Hi,

I’m getting used to programming the configurations, but I do stumble on a few things.

What I’m initially after, is a set of samples on how different buttons or tasks area achieved. Is there a set of sample code one can use for reference?

have you got your hands on the configurator reference guide found on EpicWeb?

I’m with Evan, it is an invaluable resource.

Are we talking abut the Epicor ERP Configurator Technical Reference guide (10.2.100) that comes in a PDF from (I assume) the Epicor University series? 430 pages… Then I have it, and have gone thru it (and am lost!)

Maybe I need something more basic to comprehend how to code…

There are many C# resources, its not specific to Epicor. Maybe you should give a few examples of things you are trying to do?

I think “code” is a little vague when it comes to the configurator.

Most of what is done in configurator design isn’t usually “coding”. Unless you consider click a tool on a pallet and placing a button somewhere to be “coding”.

Before you start writing any code in functions, you have to setup all the basics. Make the part, create the BOM (Template or Super BOM?), make the configurator base, design the entry forms, creat the rules.

The Config Tech Ref isn’t really geared at teaching, as much as it is providing all the info about the ways it can be used.

For starters, make a configurator that suppresses just one part in the BOM, based on the user input.

I think it really comes down to the syntax of writing the commands.

As for the basics, yes, all covered. I can edit configurators, and have then attached to BOMs, so this is all fine. it’s just the “how do I get it to do XX?” that has me baffled, and am looking for examples to better understand what is needed…

I’m not a programmer.

I think @Evan_Purdy is saying we can’t solve for X if we don’t know Y you’re doing something. Got a business case to share?

see my other post; combo box triggering another combo box…

I know this is an old thread, but is the configurator reference guide still on EpicWeb? I’m not able to find it.

Hmm, I was going to find it for you, but Epicweb seems to be down right now. Hopefully I will remember


There is one for the new Kinetic Configurators, and under E10 you should find the classic configurators.

Great, thank you Evan!
