Price Plan Alias
Added a feature to Price Plans which allows an alias to be entered. The Price Plan screen now displays the option to Add Alias. Show Me. Adding a user-defined alias eliminates bringing up the scans to locate the record during order entry. Click Add Alias and the Update Alias window displays. Show Me. If the Alias entered already exists in the system, another window prompts to reset the Alias and assign the new one just entered, or to press Cancel and enter a different Alias.
Employee Security Access, and whether or not an Alias is saved on a Price Plan, determines which Alias prompt displays:
Employee is authorized to update Alias and Alias exists: Alias Code displays as a link and clicking the link opens the Update Alias window
Employee is authorized to update Alias and no Alias exists: Add Alias displays as a link and clicking the link opens the Update Alias window
Employee is not authorized to update Alias and Alias exists: Alias Codes displays as a link and clicking the link results in an error message
Employee is not authorized to update Alias and no Alias exists: Link does not display.
The Alias entered for a Price Plan now displays on the Price Plan Scan. Show Me.
