   • 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.

     Maximum records to return in search results

     Specify the maximum number of search records to return. You might want to set a lower value to improve search performance.

     Maximum number of order lines to query in order details screen

     Specify the maximum number of order lines to retrieve on order details page for orders with more than 100 order lines. The default is 2000.

     Cancel reason code type

     When canceling 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.

     Safety stock method

     By default the safety stock is maintained by using manually defined values through existing APIs. We now have 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: Expired inventory data is only available for Inventory Visibility users.

     Supply types

     The Inventory page displays an Inventory supply chart. Select the supply types that you want displayed in the chart. You must 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. You must select as least one type.

     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 to display on these pages.

     • If the capacity UOM is Release, metrics are calculated in terms of 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

       Displays the product class as a search option on the Inventory search page and as a column in various search results tables.

       Show decimals for quantities

     • 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 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.
