Terms used in solution configurations and their definitions.
{#cpq-solution-configuration-terminology__terms-table__entry__2}

| Term | Definition |
|-|-|
| Solution | The collection of blueprints and configurations linked together in a single configuration session. A configuration becomes a solution when at least one child configuration is added. |
| Solution root | The top-level configurable product in a solution. This is the product a buyer launches to start the session. All other configurations in the session are children of the solution root. |
| Solution hierarchy | The parent-child relationship between configurable products in a given solution. The solution hierarchy is independent of the BOM hierarchy. |
| Parent blueprint | A blueprint that contains a rule with a configurable product action targeting another blueprint. A parent blueprint can also be a child of another blueprint. |
| Child blueprint | A blueprint used to create a child configuration. A child blueprint must have a valid configurable product associated with it. A child blueprint can also be a parent of another blueprint. |
| Configurable product action | An extension of the product action that defines the child blueprint, the configurable product, and optional field mappings. |
| Field mapping | A definition of which fields pass data between blueprints. Data flows from the source field on the parent blueprint to the target field on the child blueprint. |
| Source field | The field on the parent blueprint whose value is passed through a field mapping. |
| Target field | The field on the child blueprint that receives the value from the source field through a field mapping. Target fields are read-only during a configuration session. |
| Solution BOM | The consolidated bill of materials that aggregates all products added across every configuration in the session, including children and grandchildren. The solution BOM is returned when a solution is saved. |
