Defining Templates

 

Before setting up template relationships, a template code must be valid on defined on Reference File category G69 - Pricing/Discount Template Code, refer to the figure below.  This category defines the type of template (price list, volume discount, header discount, or line discount) and indicates which key fields are associated with the template.  For more specific information about setting up this category, refer to the Reference File Categories User Manual.

      Defining Template Codes on Reference File Category G69.

   This category defines the type of template and identifies which key fields will be used.

Once established on Reference File category G69, you can set up template relationships.  This is done in the Pricing/Discount Template Relationship Maintenance conversation which allows you to associate the template with a price list/discount code and to determine values for each of the key fields.  Associating specific values with each of the key fields allows you to determine the actual target set of the template (i.e., the template will be triggered if the conditions of the order match the template criteria—the values of the key fields).

Note:    If you wish to establish multiple target sets for one template, you can do so by defining different values for the key fields and associating them with another version of the template.
