Setting Up Order Processing Options
To define channels, classifications, competitor codes, contact type codes, divisions, member quotas, order groups, order source codes, product brands, product categories, shipping priority codes, syndicated data, team members, and territories, use the Channel, Classification, Competitor Codes, Contact Type Code, Division, Member Quotas, Order Group, Order Source Code, Product Brand, Product Category, Shipping Priority, Syndicated Data Type Setup, Team Member, and PM Territory setup components, respectively.
Use the COMPETITOR_CD_CI, MEMBER_COMM_CI, MEMBER_TYPE_TBL_CI, PM_CLASSIFICATE_CI, PM_TERRITORY_CI, and PROD_CATEGORY_CI component interfaces to load data into the tables for these components.
Although pages in the Order Management Foundation menu are listed in alphabetical order, you should set them up in the order shown in the next section, because some tables use information that is defined on other pages. Many of the pages are discussed in other topics.
Most of the order processing pages are straightforward. These options are discussed in more detail in this topic.

Order groups enable you to move order terms, such as standard discounts (discount percentage), into sales orders and quotes by default when you select an order group code. If you enter an order without using a customer ID, the system uses the order group values to populate the header fields that normally appear by default from the customer or buying agreement. If you enter a customer ID and select an order group code on an order or quote, the system uses order group values to populate any fields that are missing from the customer or buying agreement information.
You can assign a default order group code on the User Preferences - Orders - Sales page. This default code appears on all sales orders and quotations that the user enters.

Note: If no price adjustments are found using the exclusive pricing ID, then the system performs pricing again using the standard arbitration plan that is assigned to the sales order header. |
