Vehicle Configuration Reset

[croydonchris]

Under Panda 1.2 8V Engine ECU (IAW 5NF) F7 Adjustments there is an adjustment called "Vehicle Configuration Reset".
The description is:-
Delete the configuration of the gearbox type, climate, cruise control, ABS, electric steering so that the control unit can learn the new configuration.
Only to be performed if there are errors in the configuration or if control units that are not virgin are fitted.

Can someone please tell me how this differs from a "Proxy Alignment Procedure"
Thank you in anticipation of a reply
