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.
