Inheritance

Definitions are available for use in the hierarchy of a node and all nodes nested underneath it. The definitions may look like the following (in order of hierarchy):

• A enterprise level menu item price record for all RVCs.

• A location level discount available in that location???s RVCs.

• A zone level tax rate available in all zones, locations and RVCs.

You can override a setting inherited from a higher hierarchy level by setting a value at a lower point. Using the aforementioned example definition structure:

• A price record defined in Location 1 will override a price record defined at the hierarchy, zone 1, zone 2, or zone 3.

• To determine which record takes precedence, the system uses the definition closest to the RVC.

• A RVC level definition is always used.

• Enterprise definitions are always overridden by an RVC, if there are lower level definitions (in a zone, location, or RVC)
