Setting Up System Constants

To set up system constants:

1. Choose one of the following navigations:

   • Sales Order Management Setup (G4241), Branch/Plant Constants.

   • Procurement System Setup (G43A41), Branch/Plant Constants.

2. Select Sys Constants (system constants) from the Form menu on the Work With Branch/Plant Constants form.

3. On the System Constants form, complete the following fields as necessary:

   Sales Price Retrieval UOM (sales price retrieval unit of measure)

   Enter a user-defined code (UDC) 40/SU to specify the unit of measure that the system uses for retrieving base prices and price adjustments for sales order processing, service and warranty management, and ship and debit processing. The system enables you to define base prices in the F4106 table and price adjustments in the F4072 table in various units of measure.

   If the base price or price adjustments are not found in the specified unit of measure, then the system uses the primary unit of measure for the item.

   Sales Price Based On Date

   Enter a value to determine how the system updates the Price Effective Date in the F4201 and F4211 tables. In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management, the system uses the Price Effective Date to retrieve the base price from the F4201 table and price adjustments from the F4211 table.

   Purchase Price Retrieval UOM (purchase price retrieval unit of measure)

   Enter a value from UDC 40/PU to specify the unit of measure that the system retrieves for the purchase base price from the F41061 table during purchase order processing. If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Pricing and Procurement, complete this field.

   If you specify the unit of measure for transaction or pricing and the system does not find a record in that unit of measure, the system repeats the process using the primary unit of measure of the item.

   Purchase Rebate Category Code

   Enter a UDC (43/RU) to determine which category code that the system uses in the criteria for inclusion comparison. If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Pricing and Procurement, complete this field.

   Preference Schedule

   Enter a value from UDC 40/AP to identify the advanced preference schedule that the system uses when resolving preferences. The advanced preference schedule determines which preferences the system resolves when using the advanced preference functionality. You cannot maintain preference schedules directly through UDCs, but you can maintain preference schedules by using the Price Adjustment Schedule program (P4070). If you use advanced preferences, complete this field.

   Pref Retrieval UOM (preference retrieval unit of measure)

   Enter a value from UDC 40/RU to specify the unit of measure that the system uses for retrieving advanced preference adjustments during sales order processing. The system enables you to define the advanced preference adjustments in the F4072 table in various unit of measures. If you use advanced preferences, complete this field.

   If you specify the unit of measure for transaction or pricing and the system does not locate a record in that unit of measure, the system repeats the process using the primary unit of measure of the item.

   Accelerated Pricing Resolution Engine

   Enter 1 to use the Accelerated Pricing Resolution Engine. When you enter 1 in this field, you must then access the Accelerated Pricing Resolution Engine Workbench program (P4530) to load the cache. Anytime you restart the system, you must access the Accelerated Pricing Resolution Engine Workbench program to load the cache.

   Note: JD Edwards recommends that you become familiar with the functions and limitations of the Accelerated Pricing Resolution Engine, and how to manage the Accelerated Pricing Resolution Engine before you enable its use.When any changes are made to cached tables that the system accesses for transactions (for example, sales order entry), the system does not use the changes until you reload the cache.

   See Working with the Accelerated Pricing Resolution Engine.

   Values are:

   Blank or 0: Do not allow use of the Accelerated Pricing Resolution Engine.

   1: Allow use of the Accelerated Pricing Resolution Engine.
