Business Unit

Displays the business unit that you entered to access the page.

Note: If the company uses more than one PeopleSoft application and defines the same business units across applications, use the same name for business units that are designed to share the same setID.

Description

Enter a description of the business unit. This description appears on the Order Capture Entry Form page and in other places where the business unit appears.

Status

Select an Open or Closed status. You cannot process transactions for a closed business unit.

Short Description

Enter a brief description of the business unit. This description appears on the Order Capture Entry Form page and in other places where the business unit appears.

Default Business Unit

Select to specify that this business unit as the default business unit. If no order capture business unit is defined on the Overall Preferences page for the user who logged on, the system uses the default business unit that you identify as the default business unit for new orders and quotes.

The system uses the same mechanism to determine a user's access to catalogs.

Note: This check box appears only after you create a business unit.

See Understanding PeopleSoft CRM Security.

Default Set ID

Enter the setID that determines your preliminary tableset sharing setup. This setID determines the setIDs that the system assigns to each record group for the new business unit, and the setID that is assigned to a record group determines the tableset that provides values for the business unit. If you enter an existing setID, the system copies the set control definition of that business unit to the new business unit.

Note: This field appears only when you open the page in Add a New Business Unit mode. It disappears after you create the business unit.

Submit Confirmation

Select to view a confirmation page once an order or quote is submitted. If the submission was successful, the CSR can either return to the order or quote just submitted or begin to create a new order or quote. If the submission was placed on hold, the CSR is able to link directly to the Holds page.

If you clear this option, the system populates the header statuses automatically, and the Submit Confirmation page does not appear.

Create BU (create business unit)

Click to establish the setID controls for the order capture business unit based on the default setID that you specify.

Note: This button appears only when you open the page in Add a New Business Unit mode. It disappears when you create the business unit.

Quote Conversion

Select Convert to Order Only if you want to give the CSR the chance to modify an order prior to submission. Select Convert to Order and Submit if you want quotes that are converted to orders to automatically be submitted. This is the default selection.

Note: Your selection here will apply to all orders placed from this business unit.

Clone Options

When Order Level Adjustments = Do Not Prorate Adjustments, both clone options are available.

When Order Level Adjustments = Prorate Order Adjustment , Copy Header Adjustment is selected and is read only.

When both the clone options are selected, both line level and order level adjustments are copied when an order or quote is cloned, when an order is converted to a quote, or when a quote is converted to an order.

When Copy Line Adjustment is checked, only the line adjustment is copied in both the order and quote.

When Copy Header Adjustment is checked, both line adjustment and order level adjustments are copied in a quote whereas only order level adjustments are copied in an order.

Field or Control

Definition

Copy Line Adjustment

Select this option to carry the line adjustment into the cloned order.

Copy Header Adjustment

Select this option to carry the header adjustment into the cloned order.

Order Change Notifications

The system can send order change notifications to specified parties when order maintenance occurs, and Order Capture receives a message from the fulfillment system.

Field or Control

Definition

Accepted, Partially Accepted, and Rejected

Select the recipients that you want Order Capture to notify when the fulfillment system informs PeopleSoft CRM that order changes are fully accepted, partially accepted, or rejected. Values are:

  • Notify CSR Only.

  • Notify CSR and Customer.

  • Notify Customer Only.

  • Notify Nobody.

Bulk Order

On the Order Capture Definition page, you plug in relationship views for both consumers and organizations. The master order/recipient order relationships are determined by the relationships that you establish in the Relationship Viewer.

Field or Control

Definition

Consumer Hierarchy

Select a relationship view for a single consumer, or contact. This will determine all of the possible bulk order recipients at runtime by automatically populating all of the child relationships for the parent chosen here.

Multiple Orders Per Recipient

Select this check box to allow single recipients to receive more than one order. An Order field appears on the runtime page, enabling you to enter the number of orders you want to specify per recipient.

Organization Hierarchy

Select a relationship view for the company, or organization. When the end user enters a company name, it will prompt against the table you select here to determine the child relationships available.

Fulfillment

Field or Control

Definition

Fulfillment Logging

This flag enables logging of fulfillment data. When this flag is checked and the order is submitted, business project activity, such as phase task, is captured in the table RO_OB_LOG. The log contains fulfillment data for transactions that occur from the time the Fulfillment Logging check box was selected. Data from fulfillment activity prior to that time is not available.

Catalog Display Options

Field or Control

Definition

Display By Customer and Display By User

Select the check box to indicate if catalogs should be displayed by User or by Customer.

Note: When catalogs are displayed from the order, the list of authorized catalogs can vary depending on the selected customer and user logged in.

When a customer is not selected on the order, the list of authorized catalogs will depend strictly on the user logged in. In that case, only catalogs that the user is specifically authorized for will be available.

Customer Priorityor User Priority

Select the priority to determine which catalog is displayed. The priority indicates which catalog takes precedence if more than one mode qualifies.

Max Rows Returned (maximum rows returned)

Enter the maximum number of items that can be returned in a product catalog search. By default, the value is set to 250. You can perform some testing to find out the optimal value for your organization.

This setting helps to sustain performance on catalog search, especially when users perform searches without entering any search criteria (wild search). When a wild search happens, PeopleSoft search returns no results if the searched catalog contains more than 64,000 items and users need to refine the search. By limiting the number of rows to return in a catalog search, the system gets better search results (rather than getting nothing, in case of performing wild searches in huge catalogs) and performance.

Order Submission

Field or Control

Definition

Allow Future Dated Orders

Select to enable future dated order functionality. This enables the user to create orders that are scheduled to be fulfilled on dates in the future. The orders are queued until execution time when they are submitted in the background.

Line Dates Editable on Order

Select to enable the user to modify the order line start date and end date to be different than scheduled fulfillment date.

Note: If this option is selected, dates are only editable in certain circumstances depending on the product.

Submission Mode

Select to control when the business logic for the order is launched. This enables a quicker submission processing if the business logic is not launched immediately on submission. Launching these processes in the background and not directly upon submission makes for a quicker response to the user. A process triggered by the QUEUED_ORDER_SUBMISSION Schedule JobSet Definition can submit orders in the background.

Note: For any option other than Do Not Queue , you must activate the QUEUED_ORDER_SUBMISSION Schedule JobSet Definition. This JobSet Definition starts the business projects in the background for queued orders.

  • Do Not Queue Do not queue the orders. Start order business logic immediately upon submission.

  • Only Queue Future Dated Orders Queue orders only if their Scheduled Fulfillment Date is in the future. These queued orders are automatically submitted by the QUEUED_ORDER_SUBMISSION JobSet at a future calculated execution date and the business logic run. For this option, the QUEUED_ORDER_SUBMISSION JobSet can be run once a day to pick up orders that are waiting in the queue and are ready to be submitted based on their execution date.

  • Queue All Queue all orders regardless of the Scheduled Fulfillment Date. The orders are automatically submitted in the background by the QUEUED_ORDER_SUBMISSION JobSet and the business logic run. For this option, the QUEUED_ORDER_SUBMISSION JobSet should be run at a frequent interval to pick up orders that are waiting in the queue and to submit them in the background.

See PeopleTools: Process Scheduler

Price Order

The Price Order flag controls when the pricing engine will be called to retrieve the unit price. Products' list prices can be retrieved by the pricing engine, from the product definition model, or not at all depending on the option selected for displaying initial list price. List prices will always be repriced upon order submission.

Price as Lines Added: This is the default, and will cause a reprice of the entire order as each new line is added to the order. This will keep the order total up-to-date as new lines are added, however, it is the least efficient method of pricing and should only be the choice when orders are seldom over 20 lines.

Price at Save: This pricing option will not price the order until the order is saved, or when the Update Totals button is pressed. As new lines are added to the order, only their list prices are retrieved. The order totals are not updated until pricing is called. This method is preferred when orders contain a large number of lines.

Price at Update Totals: This pricing option will only price the order when the Update Totals button is pressed. As new lines are added to the order, only their list prices are retrieved. The order totals are not updated until pricing is called. Also, the order may be saved without calling pricing. This option may be preferred when very large orders are entered, and the order is saved along the way. The save will be much faster as pricing is not involved.

Initial List Price

Select from where list prices of products are retrieved to be displayed initially on orders.

Pricing Engine: (default) Display prices returned from PeopleSoft Enterprise Pricer. If the selected price order is Price as Lines Added, this is the only option available.

Product Model: Display prices that is established from the Product Price component. This option yields better performance than the pricing engine option.

Show No Price: Display no prices. If this option is selected, each order line shows a zero price until the pricing engine is invoked at submit or update totals. This option yields better performance than the product model option.
