Using Interactive Version Processing Options

The processing options that you define in interactive versions are a set of parameters that alter how an application runs. They are similar to initialization (.ini) files and command-line arguments for a traditional executable. These processing options let you specify the options that you want when you open an application. For example, you can specify how a form appears, show or hide a field, change the default status for order activity rules, and set default information to appear in a field.

Not all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software applications have processing options. If the Prompt For Values option on the Edit menu is grayed out, either no processing options are associated with the application or the system administrator has secured a version for the application. When you open a secured version from the Interactive Versions application, a security message appears to inform you that you do not have access to the version.

You must set processing options for an interactive application before you use versions with the application.

Using processing options, you set up interactive programs to suit your business requirements. For interactive versions, processing options complete these tasks:

• Change functions. For example, you can set a processing option to turn on or off order holds. You can also specify whether you want to automatically print pick slips after you enter an order that is based on a processing option value.

• Change default values. For example, you can set the processing options to set defaults for document types (such as quote orders or purchase orders) or line types (such as stock or nonstock items).

• Control the display of forms. For example, you can set the processing options to hide or show a cost field, a price field, or a commission field.

Note: The Versions Compare report (RD983051NA) compares the processing options for interactive versions and batch versions between two environments or data sources. You can use this report as an audit or validation tool to determine which versions were added, deleted, or changed.See "Versions Compare Report" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Software Updates Guide.

To use interactive version processing options:

1. Using the EnterpriseOne Menus, navigate to the application for which you want to set processing options.

2. Right click on the application and select Prompt For Values from the menu.

3. On Processing Options, enter appropriate values where applicable and click OK.
