Hi James,

The mindset behind it is that a configurable product will lead to a
specific identifiable new end product (think legal requirement), that can
be followed through its life-cycle (maintenance, support, etc.).

Best regards,

Pierre Smits

I agree with Pierre. It's important for traceability.

In other hand, if you create exactly the same configuration, I remember
that it doesn't create a new product. Could you confirm ?

Regards,

Julien.

Yes, Pierre is right, it's a great sample for many use cases, such as each citizen card has a unique RFID number, each mobile phone has one or two IMEI, each marriage ring has its own words, each wall painting ...
