A. B.

A.

The given solution, which is to select the custom tire size when filling out each sales order line, does meet the goal of allowing sales representatives to perform product configuration for the custom tire variants when they create a new order.

With this solution, the sales representatives can choose the specific tire size that the customer wants while creating the sales order. This way, the product designer's custom tire variants can be easily configured for each sales order, and the correct tire size will be included in the production process.

However, this solution might not be the most efficient or error-proof method for managing production configuration. The sales representatives might accidentally select the wrong tire size or forget to choose the appropriate custom tire variant, which can cause delays and rework in the production process.

A better solution might be to use a configurator tool within Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management that guides the sales representatives through the product configuration process, ensuring that the correct custom tire variant is selected for each sales order. This can help to minimize errors and streamline the production process.

In summary, the given solution does meet the stated goal of allowing sales representatives to perform product configuration for the custom tire variants, but it might not be the most efficient or error-proof method for managing production configuration.
