Adding items to the configuration

Items in a configuration are not CIs, but they represent the CI and bulk inventory records in the configuration. You can add items to configurations that have a status of Proposed or an Approval Status of Not Submitted or Pending Approval.

After you add items to a configuration, you can relate CIs to the configuration that correlate to the items in the configuration. You can relate CIs only to configurations that are active and approved.
