Constrain Changes to Attributes

Constrain the changes that your users can make to an attribute.

Order Management comes predefined to apply a processing constraint on some attributes but not on others. In this example, you create a processing constraint that constrains changes on the Latest Acceptable Ship Date attribute on the order header.

1. Go to the Setup and Maintenance work area, then go to the task.

   • Offering: Order Management

   • Functional Area: Orders

   • Task: Manage Constraint Entities

2. On the Manage Constraint Entities page, in the Search section, set the Entity Type attribute to Equals View Entity, then click Search.

   The Manage Constraint Entities page displays constraint entities for views and for processes. Order Management can constrain changes to any process entity, so it isn't necessary to enable them for constraint.

3. In the Search Results, click the constraint entity that displays the attribute you must constrain.

   For example, to constrain changes to the Latest Acceptable Ship Date attribute on the order header, click Order Header in the Display Name column.

4. In the Attribute Details list, in the row that contains Latest Acceptable Ship Date in the Attribute column, add a check mark to the Constraint Enabled option.
