Using Limit Pricing Rules as

Limit pricing rules define the acceptable minimum and maximum quantities, list values, or net values on the product level, order level, brand level, and product group level. When products are added to an order, if a default quantity is defined using a Limit pricing rule, the quantity is automatically set for the product.

Comparison Type

  • If Limit Rule comparison_type__v equals product_quantity__v, quantity__v is used to determine if the limit applies
  • If Limit Rule comparison_type__v equals list_value__v, quantity__v multiplied by list_amount__v is used to determine if the limit applies
  • If Limit Rule comparison_type__v equals net_value__v, quantity__v multiplied by net_amount__v is used to determine if the limit applies

Product Type

  • If Limit Rule product product_type__v equals order__v, only the product is used to determine if the limit applies
  • If Limit Rule product product_type__v equals null, all products on the order are used to determine if the limit applies
  • If Limit Rule product product_type__v equals detail__v, all products in the brand are used to determine if the limit applies
  • If Limit Rule product product_type__v equals group__v, all products in the product group are used to determine if the limit applies

Pricing rules are applied to products in all Product Groups they belong to, even if a Product Group is defined on the product order line.
