Vendor Portal Property Settings
Overriding on Installation or Upgrade
The VendorPortal.properties file is included only as a template for possible settings for the new custom.VendorPortal.properties file. This file exists in the same folder as the VendorPortal.properties file, and works in the same manner as other custom property files. It overrides the contents of the main file.
In the custom.VendorPortal.properties file, add the Vendors group by adding the following items:
SUPPLIER.supplierVendorAttribute=vendorGroup
com.lcs.wc.vendor.vendorGroup=VENDORS
* 
VENDORS must be in uppercase.
lcs.queryplugins.properties File
The lcs.queryplugins.properties file must exist in <Windchill>\codebase. Without this file, you cannot limit what a vendor can see.
LCSProperties must load the lcs.queryplugins.properties file. The following entry in the lcs.properties file is often overridden in the custom.lcs.properties file during customer installations.
com.lcs.wc.util.LCSProperties.additionalProperties
This line must include /lcs.queryplugins.properties.
Defining Plugin Entries
Use the following entry to define the lcs plugin entries for the vendor’s SSP.
com.lcs.wc.foundation.LCSPluginManager.eventPlugin.129=targetClass|
com.lcs.wc.product.LCSSKU^targetType|ALL^pluginClass|
com.lcs.wc.product.LCSSKUPlugins^pluginMethod|
createSCsWhenVendorUser^event|POST_CREATE_PERSIST^priority|1000
Displaying Cost Breakdowns in Order Confirmations
Administrators can use a property setting to control whether or not the Colorway / Size Cost Break Down section is displayed on the order confirmation. This property setting controls whether the section is displayed when viewing or updating the order confirmation, as well as in exported order confirmations. It also controls whether or not the section appears when expanding order confirmations from the line sheet or product.
To hide the Colorway / Size Cost Break Down section, enter the following property setting in the custom.lcs.properties file:
com.lcs.wc.sourcing.OrderConfirmation.hideCostBreakdown=true
The default value for this property setting is false. The Colorway / Size Cost Break Down section is automatically displayed.
