Master Group Maintenance
When you have defined different groups, you can categorize information in QAD Configurator. In other words, you can store and maintain various models separately, such as by product features, sales configuration rules, or product configuration rules.
When you create a group, you can also set up various defaults and settings that control the way QAD Configurator operates within this group only. For example, you can set up the default number of digits and decimals that are used for numeric variables and features created in the group. You can select a default rounding method. You can specify whether single-level or multi-level product structures are used. And you can specify whether to generate variant routings for products configured in a group.
