Enabling or Disabling Sales and Design Subtypes
Two types of options and choices are supported in Windchill out-of-the-box: sales and design. Out-of-the-box, the sales options and choices are defined as not instantiable, and they cannot be used for assignment and selection unless you make them instantiable.
* 
If a site does not intend to use an out-of-the-box object subtype, the Site Administrator can make this subtype (Sales or Design) uninstantiable for the option and choice types. This prevents the creation of an option or choice that is defined as uninstantiable.
To change the Instantiable attribute:
1. Log in as a Site Administrator and select Utilities > Type and Attribute Management.
2. Click Manage Types and locate the Option type.
3. Select the subtype that you want to change: Design Option or Sales Option.
4. Change the Instantiable attribute as needed and click OK.
5. Locate the Choice type.
6. Select the subtype that you want to change: Design Choice or Sales Choice.
7. Change the Instantiable attribute as needed and click OK.
8. Exit the Type and Attribute Management utility.
