Configured EBOM / MBOM / Process

Hello,

I’ve been going through this EDU course about configurations:
Collaborate to Build and Manage a Configured MBOM and Process Structure

And a I have some questions about this topic:

  1. Is the CFG role needed for define configured EBOM or MBOM or Process plan?
  2. Is there a way to automate effectivity transfer from physical product to manufacturing item or does it have to be done again manually despite configuration effectivity being already defined in the EBOM?
  3. Is this functionality available in the same scope with the PPL role?

Having a clear answer for these question would help us a lot. Currently, there is a lot of confusion on what is technically possible and what roles are needed for what actions.

Thank you.
