Rules that are associated with a product can be viewed
and edited in the context of the item authoring screens in Product Master.
Specifically, the rules are displayed in the Manage Decisions tab
in the new business user interface single edit screen.
About this task
The decision types available to the item or category are
determined by the Product Master specs
that are implemented by the product and the decision types that are
associated with each of those specs in the WODM Integration
Lookup Table. The access level for each decision type can
take the following three forms:
- inaccessible
- viewable
- editable
The Advanced Business Rules solution can control access to
the rules in a decision type, by controlling access to the rule project
attribute identified in the WODM Integration Lookup Table for
that decision type. For example, including the Eligibility decision
attribute in E+R (Editable and Required) attribute collection for
an Edit Eligibility workflow step results in
the Eligibility rules to be editable for the item or category in that
workflow step.
The solution designer can add the Compliance
Decision attribute to only the Viewable attribute
collection of this step, causing the rules that are associated with
compliance to be viewable only in this step.
Solution designers can
use catalog access privileges or hierarchy access privileges to limit
access to rules in the context of working with the product in the
catalog or hierarchy for a user role. This is done by defining privileges
for different user roles on the rule project attribute for the decision
type, for example
Eligibility Decision.
Note: The
Advanced Business Rules solution allows editing of rules only in the
context of a workflow step. In the context of a catalog or a hierarchy,
the rules are viewable only or inaccessible depending on the container
access privileges defined. If all decisions need to be inaccessible
at the catalog or hierarchy level for all users, you can remove the
custom tab specification for the Manage Decisions tab
for the catalog in the data_entry_properties.xml file.
