Rule Patterns and Hierarchies That You Can Use With Extensible Flexfields

Patterns and Hierarchies That You Can Use to Display Extensible Flexfields on Order Headers

The bold text indicates a variable.

Pattern	Description
my_header	Here's the format. header is a dictionary.fact For example: `header is a PredefinedDictionary.HeaderVO` where header. A variable you define when you create the rule. PredefinedDictionary. The name of a predefined dictionary. HeaderVO. A fact.
my_header_extensible_flexfield_category	Here's the format. header is a dictionary.j_HeaderEffDooHeadersAddInfoprivateVO
my_header extensible_flexfield_context	Here's the format. header is a dictionary.`HeaderEffContextNameprivateVO`

Pattern

Description

my_header

Here's the format.

header is a dictionary.fact

For example:

header is a PredefinedDictionary.HeaderVO

where

header. A variable you define when you create the rule.
PredefinedDictionary. The name of a predefined dictionary.
HeaderVO. A fact.

my_header_extensible_flexfield_category

Here's the format.

header is a dictionary.j_HeaderEffDooHeadersAddInfoprivateVO

my_header extensible_flexfield_context

Here's the format.

header is a dictionary.HeaderEffContextNameprivateVO

Note

dictionary identifies the name of the dictionary that your rule references.
DOO_HEADERS_ADD_INFO is the category for an order header.
ContextName identifies the name of the context.

Your rule must establish a hierarchy.

Parent Pattern	Property	Child Pattern
my_header	.`HeaderEffCategories`	header is my_header _extensible_flexfied_category
my_header _extensible_flexfied_category	.`HeaderEffB` ContextNameprivateVO	header contains my_header _extensible_flexfied_context

Rule Patterns and Hierarchies That You Can Use to Display Extensible Flexfields on Order Lines

Use rule patterns when you display the extensible flexfield on the order line.

Pattern	Description
my_fline	Here's the format. fline is a dictionary.`FulfillLineVO` For example: `fline is a AssignLaunchRules.FulfillLineVO` where fline. A variable you define when you create the rule. AssignLaunchRules. The name of a predefined dictionary. FulfillLineVO. A fact that resides in AssignLaunchRules.
my_fline_extensible_flexfield_category	Here's the format. my_category is a dictionary. j_FulfillLineEffDooFulfillLinesAddInfoprivateVO For example: `FlineEFFdfaip is a AssignLaunchRules.j_FulfillLineEffDooFulfilllinesAddInfoprivateVO` where. FlineEFFdfaip. A variable you define when you create the rule. AssignLaunchRules. The name of a predefined dictionary.
my_fline_extensible_flexfield_context	Here's the format. my_context is a dictionary. FulfillLineEffBContextNameprivateVO For example: FlineEFFpsi is a AssignLaunchRules.FulfillLineEffBPackShipInstructionprivateVO where FlineEFFpsi. A variable you define when you create the rule. AssignLaunchRules. The name of a predefined dictionary. PackShipInstruction. The name of a context.

Pattern

Description

my_fline

Here's the format.

fline is a dictionary.FulfillLineVO

For example:

fline is a AssignLaunchRules.FulfillLineVO

where

fline. A variable you define when you create the rule.
AssignLaunchRules. The name of a predefined dictionary.
FulfillLineVO. A fact that resides in AssignLaunchRules.

my_fline_extensible_flexfield_category

Here's the format.

my_category is a dictionary. j_FulfillLineEffDooFulfillLinesAddInfoprivateVO

For example:

FlineEFFdfaip is a AssignLaunchRules.j_FulfillLineEffDooFulfilllinesAddInfoprivateVO

where.

FlineEFFdfaip. A variable you define when you create the rule.
AssignLaunchRules. The name of a predefined dictionary.

my_fline_extensible_flexfield_context

Here's the format.

my_context is a dictionary. FulfillLineEffBContextNameprivateVO

For example:

FlineEFFpsi is a AssignLaunchRules.FulfillLineEffBPackShipInstructionprivateVO

where

FlineEFFpsi. A variable you define when you create the rule.
AssignLaunchRules. The name of a predefined dictionary.
PackShipInstruction. The name of a context.

where

dictionary identifies the name of the dictionary that your rule references.
DOO_FULFILL_LINES_ADD_INFO is the category for each order line.
ContextName identifies the name of the context.

Your rule must establish a hierarchy.

Parent Pattern	Property	Child Pattern
my_fline	.`FulfillLineEffCategories`	my_fline is my_ fline_extensible_flexfied_category
my_ fline_extensible_flexfied_category	.`FulfillLineEffB` ContextNameprivateVO	fline contains my_fline _extensible_flexfied_context
