RP Prism User Guide - Chapter 10. Orders
Orders Preferences

 In Administration Console - Node Preferences - Transactions - Orders, you can enable different order types and define a minimum initial deposit percentage for each enabled order type. The minimum initial deposit percentage entered here for each order type will be entered by default when a user tenders a transaction for that type of order. You have the option of requiring the initial deposit percentage. If the option to require a minimum percentage is not selected, then the minimum deposit percentage is entered by default, but the user can continue without taking a deposit.

By default, customer orders are enabled; other order types are not.

Preference Description
Suggest default number of days for Due Date

This release includes a new preference for setting a due date for orders. The preference allows you to enter the maximum number of days that can elapse before an order should be filled. For example, if you enter "20" and create an order on the first of the month, then the order must be fulfilled by the 20th. Previously, there was no way to set the due date for orders.  
 By default, a zero is entered, meaning no due date. A common policy is a requirement that customers fill orders within 30 days. If the number of days entered in preferences has already passed and a user displays the order, a prompt will be displayed to inform the user.
