Advanced Preference Types

A preference type, or name, is the profile created for a specific override to default order processing. The preference type usually agrees with the purpose of the preference.

When you set up a preference type, you assign a preference hierarchy. The preference hierarchy allows a preference to be set up for a specific item, item group, customer, customer group, or a combination of these.

In advanced preference, multiple basic preferences have been rolled up into a single advanced preference. An example of a rolled-up advanced preference is the Order Detail Defaults preference. The Order Detail Defaults preference contains several basic preferences, including Payment Terms, Pricing Unit of Measure, Revenue Business Unit, and End Use. Combining basic preferences into an advanced preference simplifies set up time, and improves system processing time.
