    • General

      Default UOM for search
      Specify a default unit of measure to use in search forms (on the Inventory search page). This value is used if users do not specify a unit of measure.
      Default product class for search
      Specify a default product class to use in search forms (on the Inventory search page). This value is used if users do not specify a product class.
      Note: The default UOM and product class that is entered in the fields should match the values that were created in Sterling Order Management System Software from the Configuration dependencies in Sterling Order Management System when using the inventory screens in Order Hub topic.
      Default maximum records to return in search results
      Specify the maximum number of search records to return. You might want to set a smaller value to improve search performance.
      Default maximum number of items shown in the inventory search results table
      Specify the number of item and node combinations that the inventory search can consider. The default is 100. All other search results are controlled by the Default maximum records to return in search results setting.
      Note: This capability is only available for IBM Sterling Global Inventory Visibility customers who have version 10.0.2406.2 or later.
      Note: This capability is only available for Sterling Global Inventory Visibility customers.
      Maximum number of order lines to query in order details screen
      Specify the maximum number of order lines to retrieve on the Order details page for orders with more than 100 order lines. The default is 2000.
      Cancel reason code type
      When you cancel orders, you need to specify a reason code. By default the user interface retrieves the reason codes of code type `MODIFICATION_REASON`. If your system uses a different code type, then specify the applicable code type.
      Order
      Enable the Apply client side sorting in order search results table option to improve the order search performance. This option keeps the table sorting function limited to the result set from the server rather than going back to the server for sorting options.
      Inventory
      By default, the inventory search uses the IBM Sterling Intelligent Promising data model. If you are an on-premises or next-generation customer, to keep the previous look of your Inventory page, select the Use the previous Inventory Visibility data model in inventory search option.
      Note: This capability is only available for Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility V2 customers who have version 10.0.2409.1 or later.
      Safety stock method
      By default the safety stock is maintained by using manually defined values through existing APIs. There is now a rules-based method for managing safety stock values. You can setup the safety stock rules in Inventory > Safety stock rules and contact IBM support to enable the rules-based safety stock.
      Note: After the rules-based safety stock method is enabled, you cannot switch back to the manually defined method.
      Expired inventory
      The Inventory page displays the Expired inventory chart. Select this option to display the expired inventory chart and data column.
      Note: This capability is only available for Sterling Global Inventory Visibility customers.
      Supply types
      The Inventory page displays an Inventory supply chart. Select the supply types that you want displayed in the chart. Select as least one type.
      Show demand types
      The Inventory page displays an Inventory demand chart. Select the demand types that you want displayed in the chart. Select as least one type.
      Require item id for inventory searches checkbox
      When the checkbox is checked, the inventory search page requires that users enter an Item ID when they perform inventory searches. You define specific search criteria so that you can avoid returning a limited inventory list and improve your search results.
      Note: This capability is only available for Sterling Global Inventory Visibility customers.
      Banner
      The home page includes a customizable banner. You can upload a custom image to display in the banner for all your users.
      Capacity UOM
      The Workspaces page and Node metrics page display node metrics such as Backlog and Fulfilled. Metrics are measured based on the capacity unit of measure. You can determine which unit of measure that you want to display.
      • If the capacity UOM is Release, metrics are calculated in terms of the number of releases.
      • If the capacity UOM is Unit, metrics are calculated in terms of item quantities in the order lines.
      Note: The Node details page displays metrics in the capacity unit of measure that is defined for the node. This property does not change the Node details page.
    • Data fields

      • Global fields: These settings might affect various pages within the user interface and are automatically applied to all applicable pages.
        Product class
        This option displays the product class as a search option on the Inventory search page and as a column in various search results tables.
        Unit of measure
        This option displays the unit of measure as a search option on the Inventory search page and as a column in various search results tables.
        Show personal information
        When working with orders, this option enables fields that display email, given name, and surname . For example, if enabled, on the Order details page, you can see personal information.
        Show decimals for quantities
        Show decimals for all data fields that are a Number type.
      • B2B - related fields: These settings are more frequently used for B2B scenarios.
        Show buyer organization information for orders
        When working with orders, this option enables fields that include buyer information. For example, in the Order search, you can search by Buyer.
        Individual fields
        This section also provides individual field settings (such as Airway bill number or Freight terms). These settings provide more granular control. Each field mentions the page where the setting is displayed. For fields that display on multiple pages, you can choose to display the field on all related pages or on specific pages. For information about where each page exists within the user interface, see page list.
