Configuring codes

The following describes the procedures on how to configure codes.

  1. Log on to the Business Center as a merchant administrator.
  2. Click the Application Setup > Codes link in the navigator.
  3. Click Create New.
  4. On the Code Details page, make the following settings:
    Field Description
    Code Often, there will be several codes of each type. Each of these usually represents a specific value of the specified code type. For code types that have more than one code, the code setting must be unique for that type. For some types of codes, the value you enter here is the code’s most important setting. For other types, it is simply an internal label that appears in the Business Center and which might be referenced as a key value (combined with the code type) in other tables of the database.
    Code Type Each code is assigned to a specific "type", which controls how the code will be used. Most features that use the Code table are programmed to search on this field. Therefore, the value that you enter here must match the value expected by the relevant feature. for a list of codes that are included with the default Infor e-Commerce setup, see the table in Configuring code types.
    Sorting Order For code types that have several entries in the codes list (each representing different values for that type), you can establish a sort order. This is useful for code types that are used to create a list of options. For single-value code types, you can ignore this setting.
    Texts The name for the code in each language supported in your application.
  5. When you have made all of the required settings, click Create to submit the form.

To delete a code from the list, in the Codes page, click the "X" icon corresponding to the code you wish to delete.

Use the search form to find the code you wish to edit. The form for editing a code is identical to the one for creating a new code, except that you are not able to change the code name and type.
