Configuration/Configurable Attributes (Config Attribute Set)

Overview

The Configuration Attributes composite attribute includes the Configuration attributes associated with a specific model line item page on a transaction. Configuration attribute values are defined by users during product configuration. Configuration attribute information is populated with variable name, attribute name, data type and menu type information. Attribute Sets and Array Sets are listed at the bottom of the Attribute Lists page.

The sub-document (Transaction Line) Configuration Attributes set is provided with the Standard Process. This attribute set and the associated attributes cannot be deleted from a Standard Process.

When you create a Config attribute set (for non-Standard Process), the Commerce system automatically generates three composite fields, each of which has editable characteristics. Only one Config attribute set can be added per sub-document (Transaction Line).

Configuration Attributes store the configuration parameters that were used to create this transaction. It consists of the display text and value of the attributes.
