Setting up automatic assignment of markets and virtual enterprises (optional)

A market is a set of customers or users that share common pricing and product catalogs. A virtual enterprise is a set of customers that share certain characteristics from your ERP, such as order type. If you use markets or virtual enterprises, you can automatically assign them to customers by creating rules to apply to incoming BODs. The rules that you create can refer to any Xpath in the BOD.

The rules that you set up are applied when the SyncCustomerPartyMaster BOD or ShowCustomerPartyMaster BOD is generated by the ERP and replicated in the Business Center. Generally, BODs are generated when a customer record is created or updated in the ERP.
