BOM Parameters Setup Improved

With BOM parameters it is now possible to make the setup dependent on other parameters. So you can now specify formulas that determine the behavior of a parameter in the sales quote line and the sales order line:

• Default value: formula for determining the Value field.
• Parameters customizable: determines whether a parameter is adjustable.
• Visible:
  • This determines whether a parameter is visible on the sales quote line or sales order line.
  • Parameters with the property 'Visible' = false are also not editable via, for example, an import or an API call.
  • Parameters that are not visible are not checked to see if they have a valid value (this will not be blocking for Calculate or Produce, for example).
• Selection List:
  • Only available with parameters of type 'Selection List' and 'Selection List Pair'.
  • Formula can be used to limit the selection list from the parameter's default selection list. All choices must be present in the standard selection list of the parameter.

Points of attention

• You can use parameters in the formulas with a higher order than the current parameter, not just previous parameters.
• When saving a formula, a check is made to ensure that no circular references are created (for example: the default value of parameter 1 depends on parameter 2 and the default value of parameter 2 depends on parameter 1).
