There are no limits to how many child configurations that a composite configuration can have and there are no limits in the number of levels of configurations. Therefor the scope of rule execution in a configuration tree is limited for performance reasons.
Scopes for rule execution
The table below outlines in which configurations that rules are executed as the result of a operation. This also applies to recalculation of prices, bill of materials etc.
