Organization level rules

Details are provided about the rules used to determine which organizations can maintain a configuration group as defined by the organization level.

The following table also describes the rules that determine how configuration groups are inherited when an organization is created.

Table 1. Organization level rules
Organization Level Organizations That Can Modify at this Level... Inheritance Details
Hub Level Only the Hub organization can modify configuration groups at the Hub level. All other organizations have read-only access. All organizations share this information.
Enterprise Level Only Enterprise organizations can modify configuration groups at the Enterprise level.

Any business transaction requiring Enterprise configuration is picked up from the Enterprise established by the transactional context. For example, order documents have a specific Enterprise.

An Enterprise can inherit this configuration from another Enterprise. Additionally, this configuration can be overridden at a configuration group level.

An Enterprise can view the configurations that are defined for the other Enterprises (including the Hub) in the inheritance hierarchy. In addition, the Enterprise can view the configurations that are defined for the Hub.

Catalog Organization Organizations that are designated as catalog organizations can modify configuration groups at the catalog organization level. None.
Inventory Organization Organizations that are designated as inventory organizations can modify configuration groups at the inventory organization level. None.
Pricing Organizations Organizations that are designated as pricing organizations can modify configuration groups at the pricing organization level. None.

Store Level Organizations that are designated as a config organization can modify configuration groups at the store organization level. A config organization can inherit this configuration from another config organization. Additionally, this configuration can be extended or overridden at a configuration group level.

You cannot inherit from an Enterprise that does not have the same inventory, capacity, and catalog organizations as the organization you are configuring.
