Setting default values in the order header
To streamline data entry, you can set up the system to complete the RevType1-4 fields based on the values in your company profiles. These default values can be copied from a specified profile or from multiple profiles.
For example, you can set up your system so that orders use the RevType1 value from the Bill To company’s profile. If the order’s Bill To changes, the system updates the RevType1 value with the one from the new Bill To’s profile. To do this, set [Order]SetRevType1DefaultFrom=B1
.
Entries for this setting are in two parts:
-
The
B
tells the system to get the RevType1 value from the Bill To company’s profile. -
The
1
tells the system to automatically overwrite the existing RevType1 value if the Bill To is changed.
You can also use multiple profiles to determine the RevType1 for the order. For example, if the Bill To company and the Shipper company use different RevType1 values, you can set up your system to ask the user which value to use. To do this, you would set [Order]SetRevType1DefaultFrom=B1,S3
.
In the first entry:
-
The
B
tells the system to get the RevType1 value from the Bill To company’s profile. -
The
1
tells the system to automatically overwrite the existing RevType1 value if the Bill To is changed.
In the second entry:
-
The
S
tells the system to replace the RevType1 value from the Bill To company’s profile with the RevType1 value from the shipper company’s profile if the Bill To and shipper are different companies. -
The
3
tells the system to prompt the user for confirmation before overwriting the value in the RevType1 field.
You can also set up your system to prevent orders from being saved when one or more RevType fields are set to UNKNOWN.
