  2. Enter data in the following field:

    Preference Name—SCHEME_AUTO_CREATE_PRICE_CODE

  3. Click Submit.
  4. Open the preference with the lowest level of scope to display the CCPREF—Preference Detail screen.

  6. Ensure that Setting Type is set to BOOLEAN.

    When a scheme is created that has a Price Type of Sample-Based, Scheme-Based or Unit-Based, and:

    • A price code exists that has the same Price Type, Scope and Code as the scheme—The price code is linked to the scheme.
    • A price code exists that has the same Price Type and Code as the scheme but not the same Scope —A message is displayed that the scheme could not be linked to the price code due to the different scope.
    • A price code does not exist that has the same Price Type, Scope and Code as the scheme—A price code with the same Price Type, Scope, Code, Name and Description as the scheme is automatically created, and associated with the scheme.
  8. To turn off automatic creation of a price code upon scheme creation, uncheck Setting Value.
