This is a multipart message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Lloyd, We use both Features and Options and Mainstay's Configurator product at our facility. Mainstay's Configurator does the same thing as F&O, except that it offers more "intelligence" in limiting what options are available. It also goes multiple levels down, if you want. You can also be creative with it on the orders that are produced. I have found it to be an excellent addition to our systems. Features and Options works well, also, but we have had to be careful with the 20 limit.

If you're interested, my company sells a Mapics integrated Configurator that can replace the feature / option approach to specifying products. It's not as complex or expensive as KBC and can interface back as far as Mapics/DB-3. If you're interested, you can email back or call me at the number below. Thanks.
