Setting Up a Preference Master

Access the Preference Master Revision form.

Preference Type

Enter a value from user-defined code (UDC) table 40/PR (Preference Profiles) that identifies a preference type or a price adjustment hierarchy.

In UDC 40/PR, a 1 in the Special Handling Code field identifies a preference that JD Edwards supports. This field is hard-coded for each preference.

For Agreement Penalty Schedules, first set up a UDC of PN (for penalty), and then enter it in this field.

Preference Classification

Enter a classification or title that the system uses to group preferences on the Preference Profile form (P4007).

Sequence Number

Enter the sequence by which users can set up the order in which their valid environments appear for JD Edwards JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.

For JD Edwards JD Edwards World, enter a sequence or sort number that the system uses to process records in a user-defined order.

Enable Effective Dates

Enter a code that indicates whether the system displays fields for effective date ranges for a preference. You might want the system to display effective date ranges if you enter effective dates and effective quantities for a preference. Values are:

Y: Display effective date fields on the Preference Profile Revisions forms for this preference.

N: Do not display effective date fields for this preference.

Enable Effective Quantity

Enter a code that indicates if you want to use quantity ranges for this preference. Values are:

Y: Yes, display the Quantity From and Quantity Thru fields on the Preference Profile Revisions forms (P40300 and P40300EC) for this preference.

N: No, do not enable or display the quantity range fields.

Effective quantity fields are optional fields that you can disable before setting up any preference records, but not after you have created preference records.

If you assign effective quantity, you must assign effective dates.
