Looking for info/suggestions for possible bolt on (or other) solutions regarding Bill of Materials configurator and Freight/Fuel Surcharge Calculator for use with CRM 4.0

I have the same question (0)Dynamics CRM is designed so that most of the 'heavy lifting' such as product configuration, freight charges and tax calculations are performed in a third-party ERP/finance/accounting system. That's why these features don't exist in CRM.
So you have three choices:
1. Buy a CRM add-on such as Experlogix or SmartCatalog
2. Use your ERP/finance/accounting system to do the heavy lifting and export the data to CRM for reference
3. Get ready for some hard core CRM custom development.
Take a look at Experlogix and SmartCatalog. They are both very sophisticated but reasonably priced and have plenty of implementation partners and customer references.
