Clear this option and the system displays the item-specific conversion table for all branch/plants from the Item Master table (F4101).
- Update Average Cost On-Line
Select to calculate a new average cost immediately after any transaction occurs that affects the average cost of an item.
Clear this option to indicate that all processes that affect average cost create transactions in the Average Cost Work File table (F41051). The system calculates a new average cost when you run the Average Cost Update program (R41811).

- Ship Ascending Date Rule
Select to apply the ship ascending date rule by customer and by item during the sales order entry, pick slip print, commitment, and ship confirmation processes. When the system applies the Ship Ascending Date Rule, the system sorts shipping customers' lots in ascending order by expiration date, sell by date, or best before date.
- Enable Sales Taxed Prices
Select this check box to specify that the system uses taxed prices for sales orders.
- By Sold To and By Ship To
To If you select the Enable Sales Taxed Prices check box, you must also specify a customer. The system uses this value to determine whether the customer on the sales order is set up to use taxed prices. Values are:
By Sold To: If you select this check box, the system uses the value in the Sold To field on the sales order to determine whether to use taxed prices.
By Ship To: If you select this check box, the system uses the value in the Ship To field on the sales order to determine whether to use taxed prices.
- Allow Duplicate Lots
Enter a value to determine whether the system assigns the same lot to multiple items. Values are:
1: The system does not allow duplicate lots. The lot is restricted to one item and one branch/plant.
2: The system allows duplicate lots. You can create a lot that contains multiple items and branch/plants.
3: The system does not allow duplicate lots. The lot is restricted to one item, but can contain quantities in multiple branch/plants.
- Sales Price Retrieval UOM (sales price retrieval unit of measure)
Enter a code that specifies the unit of measure for retrieving base prices and price adjustments for sales order processing, service and warranty management, and ship and debit processing. The system enables users to define base prices in the Item Base Price File table (F4106) and price adjustments in the Price Adjustment Detail table (F4072) in various units of measure.
If the base price or price adjustments are not found in the specified unit of measure, the system uses the primary unit of measure for the item.
- Purchase Price Retrieval UOM (purchase price retrieval unit of measure)
Enter a code that represents the unit of measure for the purchase base price during purchase order processing.
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.
- Sales Price Based On Date
Enter a code that determines how the system updates the price effective date in the Sales Order Header File table (F4201) and Sales Order Detail File table (F4211). In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management, the system uses the price effective date to retrieve the base price from the F4106 table and price adjustments from the F4072 table.
- Purchase Rebate Category Code
Enter a number that determines which category code the system uses in the criteria for inclusion comparison.
- Preference Schedule
Enter a value from UDC 40/AS that identifies 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).
- Pref Retrieval UOM (preference retrieval unit of measure)
Enter a code that specifies 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 units of measure.
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 a value to indicate whether the system uses the accelerated pricing resolution engine to caches records to specific pricing tables. Values are:
Blank or 0: Do not allow use.
1: Allow use.
2: Auto load.
Auto load automatically loads the cache when any user processes a transaction using a cached table.
You should thoroughly read and understand the details of how the accelerated pricing resolution engine works, the limitations, and how to manage it before you enable this option.
