Purpose: Personalization, or special handling, is any type of item customization, such as monogramming, alterations, engraving, etc. You can also use a personalization code to automatically add a personalization charge to an order when the customer orders a specific item, even if there are no actual personalization instructions.
You can define standard or custom personalization for an item.
Personalization codes are defined in and validated against the Additional Charges table. In this table, you identify a code as a personalization code by entering S (standard format) or C (custom format) in the Special Handling Type field. If the code calls for a custom format, you must enter a custom format code in the Special Handling Format field. Custom special handling formats are defined in and validated against the Special Handling Format table; you can create and work with custom special handling formats using the Work with Custom Special Handling Formats (WSHF) menu option.
When you set up a personalization code in the Additional Charges table, you also specify whether to advance to a personalization screen automatically, on-demand, or not at all in order entry when entering an item flagged for personalization in the item offer or SKU offer.
Standard personalization is a set of free-form instructions or notes about how to work on an item, including the charge for the personalization work. Standard personalization is entered on a free-format page where you can enter any information necessary to explain what needs to be done to the item.
Note: Contact Center allows you to review standard personalization defined for an item; however, you cannot add, change, or delete standard personalization at this time.
Custom personalization is a set of pre-formatted notes about how to work on an item, including charges for the custom special handling work. Custom personalization is entered on a page which includes various fields that you need to complete to explain how to work on the item. Each activity is listed along with the valid responses. You can work with the customer to define exactly what needs to be done to the item, using this page as a guide to obtain complete and accurate information.
The Special Handling Format table defines the contents of the custom personalization that displays in order entry. Custom personalization differs from standard personalization in that you can define required fields, offer additional features with a special charge, and specify valid values for input fields that the system will validate in order entry.
To use custom personalization, you must define the personalization format. You then associate the format with an additional charge code. You can then define that additional charge code for the Item/Offer or Item/SKU/Offer.
The Special handling flag for the item offer or SKU offer controls whether the item is eligible for personalization. If the Special handling flag is selected:
• Default personalization: If there is a Special handling code specified for the item offer or SKU offer, and that code’s Bypass S/H flag is unselected, then this type of personalization defaults for the item.
• Optional personalization: Otherwise, the item receives personalization only if you enter a code in the S/H code field for the item when you are entering the order, select the special handling option for an existing order detail line, or specify a special handling code in order maintenance.
If the Special handling flag for the item offer or SKU offer is unselected, the item is not eligible for personalization.
The system determines the personalization charge by:
• If a Special Handling Price is specified for the item offer or SKU offer, use this price; otherwise,
• If a Default Price or Default Price% is specified for the special handing format, use this price (this option is available for custom special handling only).
You can restrict the type of personalization an item can receive based on item class using the Work with Item Classes (WICL) menu option. For example, you might want to restrict personalizing a t-shirt with an emblem if the process used to attach the emblem damages the t-shirt.
