Date-Effective Category Codes
If you are using the Advanced Pricing system, you can select the Date Effective Category Code option on the Enhanced A/R Constants form. You use customer category codes in the Advanced Pricing system to specify the customer group and pricing to use for the customer base. By selecting this option, you can set up multiple sets of category codes for a single customer by effective date. This option enables the Advanced Pricing system to adjust the pricing based on the effective date for each customer group.
When you select the Date Effective Category Code option, the system displays Row and Form menu options from the Customer Master application that enable you to set up category codes with effective dates. If you do not select this option, the system hides these menus.
When you use date-effective category codes, you cannot enter category code values in the customer record. Instead, you enter them in a date-effective category code record and run a program to update the customer record.
