Organizations often sell individual products with options that sellers can select based on their customers needs.

**Example:**

An appliance company sells a single stove/range model that can be configured with either gas or electric fuel, 4-6 burners, and three size options.

Mobileforce CPQ mirrors this behavior by allowing organizations to create configurable product listings to suit their needs. Mobileforce Admins do this by creating a Product UI Layout that allows sellers to specify the desired options.

Additionally, if the selectable options change the potential price of the product, Admins must create a uniquely tagged Price Book entry for each pricing option.

**Note:**

Typically, products can only be configurable if the selectable options do not affect the External Product ID number associated with the product in the source CRM.

## Working with Configurable Product Listings

Mobileforce CPQ indicates that a product is configurable by displaying the Edit  icon in the **Actions** column.

Click the Edit icon to open the configuration page.

Select the desired options, and then click **Save** to add the configuration to the quote. The configured options are added to the **Description** column for the product. Additionally, if configured, the price for the product is also updated.

**Note:**

If you click **Validate** or **Submit for Approval** for a quote with an unconfigured configurable product, Mobileforce CPQ generates an error message.

## Creating Configurable Product Listings

To create a configurable product listing, you must create a Product UI Layout for the product, allowing sellers to select the applicable options for their customers. For more information, see [Add Product UI Layouts](https://documentation.mobileforcesoftware.com/v1/docs/add-product-ui-layouts).

Additionally, if your organization wants unique pricing for specific options (for example, a 4-burner range has a different cost than a 6-burner range), admins must create a unique [Price Book entry](https://documentation.mobileforcesoftware.com/v1/docs/adding-product-price-book-entries) for each differently priced option, ensuring that each entry is configured with a tag.
