Understanding How to Activate Preferences

You can activate each preference to use during order processing. With interactive processing, you activate each preference within a Preference Processing version. This version contains a list on which you activate or deactivate each preference for processing by the system.

You can use batch processing of preferences as an alternative to interactive processing during sales order entry. You can run preference batch processing after you have entered orders. Batch processing preferences can speed sales order entry because the system does not have to search for and apply each preference as you enter each order.

You can locate a specific preference to view ow the preference has been defined. You can also locate preferences to determine if preferences exist for a customer and item combination before creating a new preference.

Note: Values that you enter manually on the sales order line item override preference values.
