Configure-to-Order & Product Configuration calculator
Option Attach Rate Calculator
Use this calculator to measure option uptake across quotes, dealer configurations, customer orders, or product families so product and sales teams can validate option strategy.
What this calculator does
- Calculate how often a specific option, accessory, or package is selected on configured orders.
- tracking option adoption and demand signals
- The result shows actual option attach rate and gap to target.
Formula used
- Option Attach Rate = configured orders with the option selected ÷ eligible configured orders × 100
- Gap to target = Option Attach Rate - target option attach rate
Inputs explained
- configured orders with the option selected: Count quotes or orders where the option, accessory, kit, package, or feature was selected.
- eligible configured orders: Use quotes or orders where the option was available and valid for the base model or product family.
- target option attach rate: Use the attach-rate goal from product management, sales planning, dealer programs, or forecast assumptions.
How to use the result
- Use it to update forecasts, inventory buffers, price positioning, dealer guidance, and option rationalization decisions.
- Treat the result as a planning estimate until it is checked against current CPQ rules, ERP/MRP item masters, approved BOM logic, routing data, price books, discount policy, engineering approval rules, dealer order history, and actual quote-to-order performance for the same product family.
