The Settings Tab

 Use the Settingstab to manage the default settings for your new Accounts.

 

 

The Settings tab contains the following settings:

Settings Information
Allow Ordering Sets the default setting for new Accounts of Customers linked to the Customer Class as to their ability to place orders.
Hide Shipping price information by default on newly created Accounts. Prevents new Accounts of Customers linked to the Customer Class from viewing shipping expenses.
Default Override View List for newly created Accounts Allows you to set a new View List that is automatically assigned to new Accounts.
Quantity Settings

Allows for overriding site-level Available to Promise settings when enabled in the Quantity Settings tab of the Site Manager > Catalog Configuration maintenance screen.

Disable Available to Promise for this Customer in the Site:

Checking this option will cause ATP functionality to be ignored for the Customer Class, if it is enabled at the Site level.

Available to Promise Message:

Populating this field with text allows for creating different ATP messages per Customer Class.

Tip:

Use the following Replacement Tags within the Available to Promise message:

  • [Qty] - the quantity available to promise by the requeseted ship date.
  • [UOM] - the unit of measure.
  • [StockCode] - the stock code of the item.
  • [RequestedDate] - the requested ship date entered by the shopper.
  • [RequestedEndDate] - the end date of the requested ship date range entered by the shopper (when used).

For example, the message "Only [Qty] [UOM] of [StockCode] are available to ship between [RequestedDate] and [RequestedEndDate]" would result in a parsed message that reads as follows:

"Only 12 EA of A100 are avialble to ship betwen 12/20/1999 and 12/28/1999"

Max Days for Available to Promise:

Setting this value will override the Site setting for maximum number of days in the Customer Class.

Implementation Note:

Any request in the future for a date that is more than the maximum days from today is considered to be available to promise.

For example:

If the maximum days is set to 150, and today is June 11th, then any quantity of any Item requested for shipment after November 8th will be automatically considered available to promise.
Pricing Settings

Allows for selecting which pricing information to show (or hide) for the Customer Class as well as the ability to override the price labels and properties used for Item pricing.

Price Display Options:

Choose from the dropdown the type of pricing display for any PricingControl used in the CyberStore front-end by this Customer Class.

Price Display Option Behavior
"Show Only Default Price" Default Price will show. Customer and Discount pricing will be hidden.
"Show Only Customer Pricing" Customer and Discount pricing will show. Default price is hidden.
"Show Both Default and Customer Pricing" The Default, Customer and Discount pricing will show whenever the Default Price is more than the Customer Price. If the Default Price is less than or equal to the Customer Price, then the Default price is hidden.
"Shopper Can Show/Hide Only Their Pricing" The Shopper can decide whether to show no pricing or only their Customer and Discount Pricing by selection using the CustomerHideShowPriceControl.
"Show Both Default and User Can Show/Hide Their Pricing" Default price will always display, but the logged in Shopper can choose to show or hide their Customer and Discount Pricing by selection using the CustomerHideShowPriceControl.
"Hide All Pricing" No pricing is shown.

Universal Pricing Rules:

  • If a CyberStore web discount is applied, then Web Price will still continue to show when the property ShowWebPrice is true.
  • If a CyberStore web discount is applied, then the On Sale Graphic will appear when the property ShowOnSaleGraphic is true.
  • The lowest price for the item will be the price added to the cart even though it may not be shown in the PricingControl (i.e. a Customer Price or Discount Price was lower than Default Price).

 

Pricing Labels:

Enter here any unique pricing labels for each Customer Class.

Default values for the Customer Class pricing label options are all blank text. 

Processing will use the Site Manager settings by default, which will be overridden when set at the Customer Class level with values that are not blank, which in turn will be overridden by any non-blank values set using DefaultPriceLabelText, CustomerPriceLabelText, DiscountPriceLabelText, WebPriceLabelText, SavingsMessageLabelText, SavingsMessage or OnSaleGraphicPath properties of any PricingControl.

If you override a View List by default for newly created Accounts, choose the desired View List from the drop-down list.
