Hi All

When defining a Generic BOM, I understand it is possible to leave the "QTY" field as zero, and then use a parameter substitution constraint to "fill in" the qty based upon the value of some option selected in the configuration process.

I can find no helpful info in the help text or the knowledge quest CD pertaining to this specific topic however.

Anyone have experience/helful hints to guide me in this?

Hi Merv,

Long time since we have talked. I think this is what you are looking for. If not let me know.

Parameter Substitution

The commands in the parameter substitution section allow specific fields to be filled using a value recorded in a constraint.

The list of parameter substitution variables is defined in the PCF parameters and cannot be changed once constraints exist.

Entered in the Parameter Substitution constraint section

As an example, it is just a simple(!):

quantity = here your calculation

so it could be

quantity = [feature1] + [feature99] + 3

alternatively if you are going to call a 4gl function on Baan IV, you need the lines to start with an exclamation mark.
