Abstract
This invention provides a method utilizing component-to-attribute relationships resulting in a bill of materials documenting the specific structure of the configuration of an end product. Attributes and their values together with option attributes which describe the end product are input to a database. A check is made to determine if dependent attributes are required to further define the end product. A check is then made to determine if incompatible attribute combinations exist. Components are selected to satisfy the specific structure of the configuration of the end product. Part numbers and nomenclature are created to identify the configuration just created. A bill of materials is created to document the specific structure of the end product together with price/cost of the end product.
