VDA_EMCB vs. FLO_EMIS

[Luc]

I was wondering if there is a fixed hierarchy in which VEDA processes VDA_EMCB attributes and FLO_EMIS attributes?

Since VDA_EMCB works on commodity level and FLO_EMIS on proces/commodity level, you could potentially assign both with contradictory values.

If you do assign such contradictory values, does the processing give precedence to one of the two parameters? Or is precedence based on sequence of scenario's in the case manager?

Yes, you could well assign both attributes, and doing so might even be encouraged.

As VDA_EMCB is the less specific "bulk" parameter, any FLO_EMIS specified for the same flow will override the VDA_EMCB specification (this is taken care of by TIMES, not VEDA-FE). Thus, you could use VDA_EMCB for defining default values, and then take care of the less numerous exceptions by using FLO_EMIS.
