Understanding Setting Up Advanced Preferences

Preferences are user-defined specifications for how the system processes an order. The system utilizes both basic and advanced preferences. Advanced preferences are set up using the same functionality as the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Pricing system uses. For example, the groups an item and customer groups are processed based on category code definitions, as in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Pricing.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Pricing uses complex customer and item groups to manage pricing schedules. When you use advanced preferences, you also use complex customer groups and complex item groups to specify how the system processes the order. Advanced preference are set up with schedules that specify how the system processes the preferences.

Advanced preferences consist of one or more preference names, or types, a preference schedule, and the preference detail.

When you set up an advanced preference, you identify specific, key fields for the preference to override when processing a specific order. You specify the key fields and the return value fields.
