Defining Sales Order Defaults for EC

Use the Other Settings tab to define the default settings you want to use for each sales order created through EC. Like other default settings in Eclipse, these options can be changed, if needed, when creating the sales order. However, setting defaults provides a consistent base with which to build a sales order day-to-day in your eCommerce center.

To define sales order defaults:

  1. From the System > System Programming > API Maintenance menu, select API Configurations to display the API Configurations window.

  2. Click the Epicor Commerce pane, if not already selected.

  3. Click the Other Settings tab, if not already selected.

  4. Use the following fields in the Default Settings area to define your defaults:

Field

Description

Basis Field to Load as Base Price

Indicate which price basis you want to use by default when searching for products or creating an order as guest. A guest is an unregistered Eclipse account.

By default, the system uses DFLT-LIST.

For more information about pricing basis options, see Pricing Basis Fundamentals in the Pricing Management.

Basis Field to Load as Base Cost

Indicate which cost basis you want to use by default when searching for products or creating an order as guest. A guest is an unregistered Eclipse account.

By default, the system uses DFLT-COST.

Customer Template for New Accounts

Select which customer template you want to use for new Eclipse customer accounts.

The system populates these options based on the New SOE Customer Template control maintenance record.

Default Sales Source

Select which sales source you want to use for new sales orders, such as EC Counter Sales or Counter Salesperson.

Default Order Writer

Select the default Eclipse user you want to use default as the writer for new sales orders.

Default Order Status upon Checkout

Select the default sales order status you want to use when moving to the cart checkout. The default is B- Bid.

This automatically displays in the Ship Status field on the Check Out page in EC and the OE Order Summary Pane in Eclipse Sales Order Entry.

Note: If the Ship Status option in EC Configuration has been set to No, then the Ship Status field in the EC Checkout page is disabled.

OE Comment Type for Quotes

Indicate which comment type you want to use when adding line item comments to an EC quote. By default, the system uses the first available option.

The comment options are based on entries in Order Entry Comments Maintenance.

Year to Date Type

Indicate if you want to use a calendar year or fiscal year for the year-to-date calculations.

Indicate if you want to display the product serial numbers in the Additional Text Field in an EC order.
