Product Determination Object

The product determination object is a key element in the sales process in the Product Finder and Configurator. You can use product determination objects to control the user interface and sales process flow in the Product Finder and Configurator.

Examples of modeling using the Product Finder and Configurator are as follows:

  • Modeling and display of search criteria

  • Grouping of search results

  • Integration of competitor products

  • Sequence of entering search criteria

  • Determination dialog for products and packages

  • Available products in the sales process
