Line item type

This dynamic enumeration defines choices for the line item type, which needs to be specified when business objects (Shipments, Orders, etc.) involve line items.

Each line item type requires a text Prefix parameter that must be unique within the enumeration (checked case sensitive) and consists of three or less standard text characters (a-z, A-Z).

The automatically assigned internal 'Position no.' (lineItemId) starts with the prefix followed by a system of sequence numbers resembling line item hierarchy.

Example: The Position no. 'XYZ1_2' identifies the second sub line item of the first line item for the line item type with prefix 'XYZ'.

This position no. is a property of the individual line item (lineItem). The list of line items (lineItems) in the data object includes line items of all types, but in Input forms they always appear as one Repeatable element per type.

►NOTE◄

• The line item type is not featured as an independent property or attribute in business object data.

• The choice of line item type for a Repeatable element in a form applies to the line item hierarchy including all levels of sub line items.

The dynamic enumeration is shipped with exactly one preset element:

The line item type 'Default' uses no prefix (by default).
