Product configuration

We did recently start with d365 FO and are in the concrete business. We cast prefabricated items and do configuration of these items after request. Does anybody have any experience with the build in production configurator in d365 FO SCM? Right now we are creating new item numbers for every single make to order product and wonder if it's the correct solution for us.

    Hi,
     
    I only did some Demo on the product configurator some years ago but never actually implemented it, so I give you below some considerations that I have  but that can be corrected by someone who actually put their hand-on the configurator in live environments:
     
    Good parts:
    - You can create different configurations for one item based on the constraints that you put on the item, which is cool because you do not have a lot of products that actually are the same in different configuraions (configuration becomes an active item dimension);
    - You can define contraints and defaults for the item configurations;
    - YYou can choose the cionfiguration at the quote and/or Sales line level;
    - The dimension "configuration" can be put in many standard reports;
    - Sales prices can be derived through expressions. 
     
    These are the drawbacks that we found out when preparing/presenting it to the customers:
    - there is no 3D visualization so our customer was not happy about it, because many external systems offer it:
    - Initial setup and maintenance can be difficult at the beginning;
    - We experienced some performance issues (but, about this, we were in a Demo environment so I do not know about the TEST/PROD environment);
    - the price expressions can be difficult to manage;
    - There was little integration with external portal, I do not know if in the meantime they integrated it with the Commerce app. 
     
     
    If you want to have a clearer idea, this is the youtube 10 videos series that I used at the time, do not know if many improvements were made from that point on:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E4cctNUi2E&list=PLQvhnZHPuD3RcqgxYrvgXiC13wncqO4pK
