Reuse Product Configuration Error - PcBackEndConfiguration.getAppliedDistinctProductVariant

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 109

I've configured a simple product configuration model with two attributes: SwatchPattern and SwatchPatternColor. The nomenclature is set to concatenate the two attribute (e.g. SwatchPattern-SwatchPatternColor).

In an ideal scenario, the user would select a pattern, select a pattern color. If the configuration is new, the system generates a new configuration for SelectionA-ColorA. This piece works.

The problem is when the same selections are made later on, instead of returning the same configuration, the system returns an error: PcBackEndConfiguration.getAppliedDistinctProductVariant

If I disable the Reuse configuration parameter, then the system won't error, instead it will populate the configuration id with value from the number sequence.

Is this a bug or am I missing some configuration?

    Hi Garry,

    To enable configurations to be reused, you must specify the following information for the components and attributes on the Product configuration model details page:

    • Components and subcomponents â€“ On the General FastTab, in the Reuse configurations field, select Yes.
    • Attributes â€“ On the Attributes FastTab, select the Include in reuse option.
