Understanding Hot Spot Assembly Inclusion Rules
Hot spots are used to provide visual information during order entry. Allowing certain kinds of information to appear during the order entry process can improve the overall effectiveness for the user. Hot spot information enables you to view either predefined (hard-coded) values or user-defined calculated values. Hot spots are for display purposes only.
The hot spot information is available after the successful (no errors) calculation process has been run. The initial hot spot selection values are displayed, based on the processing option settings for the Configured Item Revisions program (P3210). You then can dynamically change the hot spot display. Click a hot spot button and select a different hot spot to display from the UDC 32/HS table.
The UDC contains a list of all valid hot spot entries. It also contains a numeric reference to the hot spot, a description, and an indication of whether the hot spot is hard-coded. Hard-coded entries are not changeable and are numbered descending from 999. Examples of hard-coded hot spot entries include price (as defined by the order entry mode), cost (as defined by the order entry mode), and weight.
