FAQ
The User Defined Price Codes Basic Preferences are used to default the Price Code fields into the Sales Order Detail (F4211) file, based on the preference hierarchy.
The system will search through the preference hierarchy until it finds a match. The Price Code 1 (UPC1), Price Code 2 (UPC2) and Price Code 3 (UPC3) fields in the Sales Order Detail file (F4211) are updated.
PC1 is set using preference type 11, PC2 with preference type 12 and PC3 with preference type 13.
In order to setup and use Basic Preferences, please reference Preference Profiles For EnterpriseOne
Note that it is also possible to use an Advanced Preference, "Order Detail Defaults" (type 02) to populate the UPC1/UPC2/UPC3 fields in the F4211. For details, please see document Order Detail Defaults Advanced Preference with Advanced Pricing (P4071/P4072/P4070/P4092/P4074)

Question1 : Can we use the basic preference types 11, 12, and 13 to drive by Branch plant?
Answer1 : In Basic Preference within E1, it currently doesn't have an order detail group preference; the equivalent basic preference is broken down in different preferences (Price code 1 #11 and Work with Price Code 2 #12 preference). Customer can use advanced order detail preference '02' where there are multiple driver fields (Business unit, Revenue business unit, Agreement number etc.)
This feature of using the Branch plant as a driver field in Basic Preference is currently not available.
Question2 : Is there any functionality behind Special Handling code for UDC 40/P1/P2/P3?
Answer2: From the code level research it is noticed that, the Special Handling code for UDC 40/P1, UDC 40/P2 and UDC 40/P3 is not used anywhere in the system.
