Calvin,
In your process I'm not sure what you mean "search for the part".
This is what I do:
1- I call up the configured part in Part Maintenance,
2- I go to the Revision Tab and select the revision I want to change from the Revision List, once selected I Uncheck the Approved Box (in other words I un-approve the revision)
3- With my cursor still on the revision I want to change I go to the Actions Menu, then the Revisions sub-menu and pick Product Configurator
4- Once the Product Configurator opens I select go to the "Parts/Rev" tab and I make sure I select the revision I want to change.
5- I then go to the "Status" tab and I un-approve the configuration.
Once the changes are made:
1- I go to the "Status" tab and I approve the configuration.
2- I then close the "product Configurator and call up the configured part in Part Maintenance,
3- I then to the Revision Tab and select the revision I want to approve from the Revision List, once selected I Check the Approved Box (inother words approve the revision)
This works for me.
One thing I found was that the effective date of the revision of the configured part I want to change must not be in the future. If it is, then no rules appear in the product configurator. This is a real pain in the butt, I have to change the effective date to today then I make any changes in the product configurator then I have to change the effective date back to the original date which was some time in the future. If the effective date is today or older then you'll be OK.
I hope this helps.
Ed

Subject: [Vantage] V8.03 Product Configurator
I've started using the product configurator and have successfully
implemented a couple of configurable parts.
Now I have a part that is successfully implemented, but I can't seem
to open it with the product configurator to make changes.
Previously, I just went into the Part Maintenence window, selected the
revision, unchecked the "Approved" box, and saved the part. Then I
would launch Product Configurator, search for the Part, "unrelease"
it, and make my changes.
Now the part doesn't appear in the search window, yet I can enter it
in a quote, and run the configurator.
What are the exact steps to change a configurator?
Thanks in advance,
Calvin Krusen
