Transactional Attributes

You can specify whether to display a transactional attribute.

If your model item is part of an item class that includes a transactional attribute, then:

  • The snapshot includes the item class and the value set.
  • The model tree displays the transactional attribute below the node that has the imported item.
  • The details pane for the transactional attribute displays the item class that provides the definition of the transactional attribute, the value set that provides the run time values for the transactional attribute, and the format details for the transactional attribute.

You specify the item class when you create an item in the Product Information Management work area. If you enable the Hidden attribute for a transactional attribute on the Edit Item Class page in the Setup and Maintenance work area, then the host application doesn't display the transactional attributes that are part of that item class. However, the Review page in the host application does display them even if you enable the Hidden attribute.

Your host application usually sends transactional attributes to a downstream application. For example, Order Management Cloud is a host application, and it uses a transactional attribute to send shipping details to Oracle Shipping. Your users might not need to see and use this attribute. You can display or not display it on the Review page.

  1. Go to the Configurator Models work area.
  2. Click Tasks > Manage Models.
  3. On the Manage Models page, search for and open your model.
  4. On the Edit Configurator Model page, click User Interfaces, then enable or disable the Display Hidden Transactional Attributes on the Review Page option.
