Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition Administrator Help

Codes

Almost all of the following codes are predefined in Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition. You do not need to add codes or delete them. However, you can change code descriptions. The codes that you administer in Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition serve two different purposes:

Some codes only appear within the Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition system to encapsulate information about a Shopping Cart.
Other codes translate information in Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition into information that MarketSite can process.

Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition provides codes in seed data, which is part of your installation:

	Commerce One Payment Type	Payment types which correspond to valid methods of payment in MarketSite. To use these in Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition, you need to create an Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition payment type which corresponds to a Commerce One Payment Type.
	Document Type	Identifies the type of document that Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition can process.
	Ship Method	For Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition and MarketSite, a set of numeric codes indicate each of the valid methods for shipping that a supplier uses.
	Tax Category	Taxability categories to be assigned to purchases.
	Status Codes	Identifying codes for each of: Approval Change Request Payment Order Receive Shopping Cart Shipment

When you view codes, the browser displays two elements:

an underlined Short Description, for example Change Pending, and
a Long Description, explaining the full meaning of the code, for example Change request has been sent to the supplier

Viewing and Modifying Codes

To view code descriptions:

In the tree menu, select Setup| Codes| Code Type

The browser displays two lists, of short and long description for the selected Code Type
If there are too many codes to be viewed in a single page, click the Short Description hyperlink to view the next batch of codes.

When you reach the end of the list, clicking the Short Description hyperlink again takes you back to the top of the list.

To modify a code:

Click Edit to the left of the code you wish to modify.

The browser displays the Edit:Code Type page.
Click in either the Short Description or Long Description text box (so that an |-beam pointer appears), and type any new text you wish.
Click:
- [Save] to save the description, or
- [Cancel] to leave the Edit:Code Type page without making any changes.

Typically, you will only need to modify an existing code's Long Description. You will not want to change the Short Description or add a new code. This is because MarketSite accepts only certain values for these codes.

If you add a new one, or change a Short Description (by adding white space or other non-accepted characters) you risk causing errors to be produced at MarketSite. For help with customizing codes, contact Commerce One Professional Services.
