Duplicate 'Item names' Created When Using the 'Configurator' AX 2009

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 70

Good Day Dynamic Team,

I have a situation where duplicate 'Item name(s)' have been created for multiple 'Item IDs (Item numbers)' that was reported to be generated by the 'Configurator'.

When testing, I used the 'Configurator' with the same configuration for both items and only one of the items was returned on the sales order.

I cannot find any significant differences in the two 'Item IDs (Item numbers)' that were created and so far cannot reproduce this issue.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards, 

KDS

    Can you share some screenshots? I don't have access to an AX2009 environment anymore. From your reply, I think we mean the same with the Configurator and Product builder.

    Hi Andre,

    The users are calling this the 'Configurator', but so far as I found, they are not using the 'Product Builder' tab in any way.

    Here are the steps they told me they are taking:

    Create a new Sales order and a new Sales Order Line>Enter the letter 'L' in the 'Item number field'>click on 'Functions'>click on 'Configure line'.

    Enter the specific configuration for the item (i.e. Length, Width, etc.), then click 'Ok'

    I followed the steps using the exact item configuration on both items, but only one of the 'Item IDs (Item numbers)' populates, so I also don't know why it always picks one over the other.

    There definitely are duplicate 'Item names' for different item numbers, but I cannot find any differences in any two 'Item IDs' with the same 'Item name'.

    When I made changes to any of the specifics in the configuration, I get a different 'Item ID' and different 'Item name'.

    I think the users may be doing something different in their process that results in a duplicate 'Item name', but so far I haven't found out how.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind Regards,

    KDS

    Hi KDS,

    Can you explain what you mean with "Configurator"? Are you using the Product Builder functionality or something else?
