I don't figure out what is the use of "Activated" option in BOM. If I check it, in BOM view appears a BOM but is no difference between BOM in other views (detailed..).

First of all I think it helps to display quikly a BOM for a configuration but if I select it the list shows the active configuration.

Also I don't understand what is the relevance of configuration column if when I selct a such BOM the list is for active configuration not for activated.

In the admin guides I can't find anything about this.
