Can please somebody help me find the best solution?

I need to put a configurable product on a quote. and later convert the quote
into an order.

The problem here is that only the total price of the configuration can be stored in the quote but not the parts it consist out of and the quantity.

In the order it is solved by creating a productionrun and connecting the required products and quantities there. In the cart it is stored in the
configWrapper.

The only way i see now is to create a new table for the quoteItem and probably for the shopping list and the CustRequestItem too..... to store the product
and quantity.....

Chances are Jacopo will have similar and maybe more complete advice.

The basic issue is that we have no way to persist product configuration data except in a BOM, etc. We really need some entities to store a configuration, and then be able to attach those to requests, quotes, and even things like shopping lists and such. I think this will require a little bit more than just productId and quantity to make it possible to reload the configuration options, in fact it should probably be more config specific and have something like a config item id rather than a product id.

Anyway, Jacopo may have more (and more helpful) thoughts on this as he has mentioned this a few times.
