Constants Master


The constants master maintains a general list of all the business rules that can be configured within the SmarterCommerce line of products.  Constants provide a basic framework for how your SmarterCommerce system works based on your business needs.  SmarterCommerce constants must be setup utilizing the SmarterCommerce Constants application (PQ670004). The master constant list is hard coded and should not be deleted nor new ones added.  Attempting to delete an existing constant will cause SmarterCommerce software to operate improperly.
