Adding the ROCK IMAGER as the Main Product
In this tutorial you’ll configure a very simple ROCK IMAGER and make it available for sale. This particular product in this case will have no options, we’ll add them later. You can use this methodology to add any product to the catalog, from a simple case of tips to a ROCK IMAGER.
Prerequisites
You are authorized to create and/or modify product information for quotes in the Quote - Products table. Please contact the TIGA team to receive authorization.
An item has been created for the RI1000LCP.
You have collected all marketing information about it, including description, price, etc.
To add a ROCK IMAGER:
In the Quote - Products table, create a new record (as shown below) by clicking Add in the Record dropdown menu. See also a general tutorial on how to specify the task fields and options in the Product_Catalog_Entries_Overview section.
Task Fields in the Product Window with ROCK IMAGER Example

Important: The price of the ROCK IMAGER that appears in the Configure window will include the base price, the software price, and the S&TC. It will also be affected by the price factor of the zone you’re shipping to.
Include a computer with the ROCK IMAGER
When configuring the ROCK IMAGER for a quote, it’s price includes a computer. This same computer can be sold separately at a price of $2,488.00. We can configure the catalog so that the computer’s real price is overridden and is included as part of the ROCK IMAGER’s price. We will show you how to do this in the following tutorial:
Prerequisites
A product has been created for the computer, as seen in the screenshot below. As you can see, it has its original price of $2,488.00.

Check off the Override Price box. Set the Price Override field to 0, so that the computer is quoted at no cost.
