Allowable Reasons

Select the utilization reasons from which a user will be allowed to choose, when prompted (that is, if the Prompt attribute is selected), when the raw reason code becomes the active raw reason code.

If no reasons are selected, all reasons will be allowed. By default, no reason is selected.

When a raw reason code becomes active and a utilization event is logged, a utilization reason is assigned to the event based on the default allowable reason assigned to that raw reason code.

If a new reason is added in MES Client to an existing reason group that has been selected as an allowable reason group in the UCO configuration, the new reason will not be selected automatically. You must edit the raw reason code definition in Object Editor and select the newly defined reason in the list of allowable reasons.

Selecting an allowable utilization reason group and reason requires the ability to communicate with the MES database through the MES middleware. If you do not have the MES middleware loaded on the same node on which you are configuring the UCO, you must have the MES middleware proxy installed. For more information on the middleware or middleware proxy, see System requirements.

Derived UCOs can have additional allowable reasons selected. However, reasons that are already selected in parent templates cannot be cleared.
