Before I recreate the wheel, does anyone have anything like this?

We have a lot of variables in our product lines.  When customers request a new Length/Width/Material/etc we have to create a new Stock Item, Build a BOM, etc.

Right now, we have ~5 spreadsheets with our product lines that have to be maintained to provide a quote for the customer.  This is also sent to the Product Manager to build the Item and BOM.

I want to build a New Item page that would have variables depending on Product Type, in which certain dropdowns would be available or options in those dropdowns would be selectable.  

Based on those parameters selected, it could build the Inventory Item, BOM, and provide a more accurate Quote.

There is a product configurator in Acumatica. It’s works OK, but that is different than what you are describing.

What you are describing sounds like Acumatica matrix items. You should be able enable under inventory and order management.

Once activated you will be able to create template items and variant items based on assigned attributes

Thanks, I’ll give that a try.

I set up a basic item, I’ll have to play with this more.  Some of my variables are not possible.  I was hoping to restrict them behind the scenes.

ex: I can’t order Sausage with Pepperoni on my pizza.  But both Sausage and Pepperoni can go on pizza.
