Configuration Note

Because of the special behavior of the Line Items business component (based on special class CSSBCLineItem), a Line Item record can be updated only if its parent Order record is exposed (present and active) in the Orders screen. If the screen exposes only the Line Items view without the Service Order view, the Line Item records are read-only.

Totals Subview

The Totals subview provides a breakdown of products and services sold in terms of the price for a selected line item, a discount, and a price adjustment. The result is the total for the selected line item before adding tax and shipping.

Line Detail Subview

The Line Detail subview contains more information about a selected order line item, including details specific to service products, shipping and billing information, and pricing. Table 84 describes items in Line Detail records.

Table 84. Selected Item in the Line Detail Subview

Attributes Subview

If the selected product is customizable with attributes, users can use the Attributes view to select specific attributes or to view the default attributes. For information about customizable products, see Product Administration Guide.

Activity Plans Subview

The Activity Plans subview associates activity templates with order line items. The activities that belong to this plan appear in Activities subview. For more information, see Activity Plans View.

Part Locator Subview

The Part Locator subview finds the product to allocate to a line item in an order. The Locate buttons that appear in the Line Items view activate the Part Locator Engine to determine the inventory locations for line items.

Once located, the Allocate command (in the pull-down menu in the Part Locator view) reserves products for the order and the Generate PickTickets button (in the Service Order view) creates pick ticket records for the allocated line items.

Actions Subview

The Actions subview records all transactions created for the selected line item (for example, Allocate, De-Allocate, Ship, and Receive). The Fulfillment and Part Locator Engines automatically create Allocate transactions. The shipping process can automatically create De-Allocate transactions (see Process Shipment Button).

This view also records manual transactions for selected line items. The De-Allocate command in the pull-down menu creates a transaction of the type De-allocate.

For each line item action recorded, the values available in the Type field's picklist vary according to the transactions that have occurred previously. For example, the picklist does not offer the choice De-Allocate if no Allocate action has previously been performed on the line item.

Warranty Subview

The Warranty subview shows the warranties associated with a product. Pre-existing warranties can also be associated with the selected line item. For more information about warranties, see Warranties.

Repair Subview

The Repairs view shows the repair numbers associated with a line item. Repair # is the same as Defective Tag. This view is read-only.
