Conclusions
CZ helps design front end interfaces for assembly line products to implement constraints which will make sure the final product is assembled the right way. It also makes use of a pricing engine to enforce pricing according to the ATO model items. Keste has implemented CZ UI and Rules for various clients. Fig 4. Repository Mapping the BOM Models

CZ Rules CZ Rules are inbuilt or extension provided to check validity of the ATO product finally built by combination of various pricing and constraints. These are implemented by tools provided by Oracle.

Results
Configurator Developer Repository A Configurator Model will be present in the Repository for each ATO (Assemble to Order) or PTO (Pick to order) Model in your toplevel BOM. Upon opening each Model, the entire BOM structure will be displayed for those items below the ATO or PTO model selected. Should the selected Model contain other Models, these will appear as Reference Models. Refer Fig. 4 for the referencing of the BOM models in the Repository.
