Configurable Option NOT Tied to a component

Is there a way in Ofbiz to have a configurable option that is not tied
to an actual component?

For example in the Millwork Industry there are some things that are more
instruction that is a product.  Like species of a door, jam size, left
or right entry.  Is this possible?

Thanks,

James

Hello james,

I don't think there is direct support available to create configurable
options without associating product to it. The data model allows it but at
the code level, when you order the configurable product by selecting
certain options, it will look for the associated product in the system.

In your email, species of a door, jam size, left or right entry, looks like
they are the feature of the door. Can you let us know other configuration
options for your product?

Kind Regards,

Depending upon the feature type you can introduce new feature type which is
used only for tagging and instructions purpose. Alternatively you can use
product content which are only for display purposes. My recommendation is
to go with Featue, but OFBiz provides multiple ways to achieve the
solutions to same problem.
