Configuring the UI to receive inventory data

As a Tenant administrator, the steps to configure the UI to receive inventory data differ depending on whether you are using IBM® Sterling Order Management System or any other Order Management System.

1. Log in by using your IBMid.
   For more information, see Logging into Order Hub.
2. Click Settings > Configurations from the menu.
3. You can enable or disable the following features globally for your tenant:

   Product class

   Displays the product class as a search option on the Inventory search page.

   In the Default product class for search field, you can specify a default class that is automatically populated on the search page.

   Unit of measure

   Displays the unit of measure as a search option on the Inventory search page.

   In the Default UOM for search field, you can specify a default class that is automatically populated on the search page.

   Include sibling nodes

   By default this option is set to off, where the node searches include only child nodes. Turn on this feature to include searches for both sibling and child nodes.

   Note: If you are subscribed to IBM Sterling Order Management System:

   You can create workspaces to include sibling nodes with this feature option selected. If you disable the option after a workspace is created, you can still see the sibling nodes on your workspace. But, when you navigate to node list page by clicking the node alert count or node count, you see a reduced number of nodes on node list. The number is reduced because the node list does not include the sibling nodes anymore.

   Show buyer organization information for orders

   When working with orders, this option enables fields that include buyer information. For example, in Order search, you can search by Buyer.

   Note: This option is applicable only if you are subscribed to IBM Sterling Order Management System.

   Show personal information

   When working with orders, this option enables fields that display email, given name, and surname . For example, in order details you can see personal information.

   Note: This option is applicable only if you are subscribed to IBM Sterling Order Management System.

   Maximum number of 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.

   Show supply types

   The Inventory page displays an Inventory supply pie chart. Select the supply types that you want displayed in the chart.

   Show demand types

   The Inventory page displays an Inventory demand pie chart. Select the demand types that you want displayed in the chart.
