9.2 Sales Order P4210

Looking for input on best practice to clone P4210 or modify P4210. We want to take updates to stay current and are looking for input on modifying P4210 - mods are required to meet our business needs.

@Bradley Landsbaum I do agree with Bradlay. There are so many interconnections with this major transaction that I recommend to apply the customization on the standard even if it means more work. Mathieu (France)

For new customization in 9.2, I've followed the path of performing them directly to base. The spec merge tools have come a long way since earlier releases. If you create a custom 55-59 object, and Oracle sends out bug fixes that have to be applied to base, you end up applying the fix to both the custom object and standard object. Then you have to determine the impact to both.

@Evanet Gallant my recommendation is that you make sure you cover all dependencies and plan for future, for example if you will do EDI or use case management. Sales order application is very complex and interacts with many other systems.

@Evanet Gallant What are the mods? That may have some impact on the decision.
