Key Profile options in I Procurement

The following profile options are key in I Procurement, which i have faced in various I Proc implementation.  There are few others, which are to be configured based on client’s requirement

Number of catalogs to be appeared in I Proc

POR: Catalog Result Set Size - 7

If we set this 7 only 7 items will be displayed in each page in I proc.

 

Is there a profile option that controls the Need By date under I Procurement?

Profile: ICX: Days Needed By controls this date

If this is set at the site level end users will have the same number of days + sysdate to calculate need by date.

 

How default time appears in need by date and time field

PO: Default Need-By Time – set here as 18:00

To avoid any time error

For a profile option – value should be - Amount Based

Set unique values for these profile options. The value selected here should be distinct from the values selected for other profile(w.r.t line types) options

After setting these profile values, bounce the apache server and retest the issue.

Host Images

POR: Hosted Images directory
