If a value in a Profile class is changed, the system will
-
A. Automatically change the value for all existing customers with the profile class
-
B. Assign the new value only to new customers
-
C. Prompt the user whether to update for all customers or only for new customers.
-
D. None of the above
Profile classes in Oracle Receivables store default values that are inherited by customers. When you change a profile class value, the system prompts you to choose whether to update all existing customers assigned to that profile class or only apply the new value to new customers going forward. This design prevents unintended bulk changes to customer records while allowing for deliberate updates when needed.
When you change a value in a customer profile class in Oracle Receivables, the system doesn't silently cascade the change everywhere nor limit it to new customers only — it prompts you to choose whether to apply the update to all existing customers using that profile class or only to customers assigned to it going forward. This gives the user control over the scope of the change rather than an automatic, irreversible update.
