Uses Line Items

Specifies whether the scenario can have line items. Specify Y if the scenario can accept line items or N if the scenario cannot accept line items.

Note:

If you change this property after line-item detail is entered, the stored line item detail may no longer be valid for the scenario. The following behaviors occur:

  • If the scenario accepted line items and now it cannot, the line-item detail stored in the database is no longer valid. Only the total is displayed.

  • If the scenario did not accept line items and now it can, there is a total amount but no corresponding line-item detail information for the scenario. You can extract the total and then load it as line-item detail data so that the total matches the line-item detail information.
