Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Processing control fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Line Item Query | The query overrides the default query run against the ocml file. For example:
avail.to.order=true and reorder.type=“b” andopen=true and quantity.balance>0 and target.order<=tod() |
| Order Category | When you specify an order category while you create an order, your order category overrides the default order category. The default order category is that associated with the line item as defined in the modelvendor record. |
Order breaks and line item breaks
While tailoring an implementation’s order process, the Order Breaks and Line Item Breaks array fields on the Demand Schedule record provide a list of field names in a sequence that must coincide with a key in the ocml database dictionary record. The system checks for field name differences as each record is processed, and this determines when to complete the current order or line item and start a new one (for example, when to “break”).
Important: In the base system’s ocml database dictionary record, the key contains five fields. Do not modify this key.
- avail.to.order
- reorder.type
- open
- quantity.balance
- target.order
OCM order create for Line Item Schedule record
- Also called Background Order Demand.
- For batch -- demand order processing. Runs the ocmo.create.order application.
- Uses high breaks for order breaks (for example, creates new order record).
- Uses low breaks for line item breaks (for example, creates a new line item entry within current order).
- Will automatically use the “backend” field as the first high break. This field is used when certain orders are sent to an external system.
