Understanding the Preferences Master and Hierarchy

If you have continuous business requirements that differ from the system default values for the transportation process, you can set up preferences to accommodate those requirements.

The system displays all preferences in logical groups on the Work With Preference Profiles form. You use the Preference Master Revisions form to specify where a preference classification appears and whether effective dates and quantities are part of the preference.

For each preference, you must define a hierarchy to indicate the order in which you want the system to apply preferences to shipments.

The Preference Master (P40070) contains the default information that the system uses for every preference.
