Marketplace (Merchants) is now called Marketplace (Retailers)

Some of fabric's products are undergoing name changes. Marketplace (Merchants) is now Marketplace (Retailers), but you may see the old name in some places as we make the transition.

Overview

A ruleset is a set of conditions that can be applied to a proposal through the feature called Proposal Departments. A ruleset consists of multiple rule groups. Each rule group can have multiple rules configured where each rule dictates the conditions for an individual attribute.

• Retailers and suppliers use rulesets to dictate the terms of a proposal department
• Rules set under a ruleset are applied to all items and attributes during a proposal
• Proposal compatibility will check all the items from the template and apply the rulesets on them. Only validated items will be added to the proposal
• Every retailer must have at least 2 rulesets, one to be used as Retailer ruleset and one to be used as suppliers ruleset. Refer to Proposal Departments for more details.
