System Preferences for the Fulfillment and Part Locator Engines
The Fulfillment and Part Locator Engines use the same system preferences, shown in Table 76. These system preferences are stored in the table S_SYS_PREF. The BusComp is System Preferences. These are the columns of main interest:
- SYS_PREF_CD. Name of the system preference.
- VAL. Value of the system preference.
Changing the values of these preferences changes the default behavior of each engine. Use System Preferences to set these values:
- Default fulfillment inventory location
- Default inventory location types
- Substitution allocation rules
- Order statuses valid for fulfillment
- Line item statuses valid for fulfillment
- Synchronous or asynchronous fulfillment
NOTE: To activate changes to system preferences, restart the Siebel server.
