Selection Matrix - Procurement

Description

A selection matrix can be one of the following:

• A type of element used in defining mark up for a purchase costing element, used when configuring the purchasing model for specific settlement requirements. For more details on configuring the purchase costing element refer to Settings for Purchase per Company and Division.
• A type of product configuration element used when products are configured. For more details on configuring products, refer to Configure Product.

The matrix is in the form of a table. It can be used with up to 6 manually entered selection columns and at least one response column. Where the Matrix is populated using an API, it can be used with 9 selection columns.

Restrictions

Note that whilst different elements are available to product and procurement using Selection Matrix configuration, system enforced segregation does not exist. Where the procurement configuration elements, attribute and formula are used in product configuration, or other areas where Matrix is used, a blank or zero key value, and corresponding matrix value, where one exists, will be returned.

Where the selection matrix is used to satisfy procurement settlement requirements:

• Column types specific to procurement configuration must be used.
• The applicable column types provide the flexibility for results to be retuned based on captured attribute characteristics or a formula.
