About this task

To modify the conditions in a line approval rule:

Procedure

    1. Log in to Business Center as Pricing Administrator.
    2. The application home page is displayed. Click the Pricing tab.
    3. From the Pricing home page, click Find Approval Rule in the Quotes dashlet.
    4. The Approval Rule Search screen is displayed. Enter the search criteria and click Search to perform a basic search. Alternatively, click Advanced Search, enter the search criteria, and click Search to perform an advanced search.
    5. The approval rules matching the search criteria are displayed. Click the Rule ID hyperlink or double-click the row corresponding to the approval rule. The Approval Rule Summary screen is displayed.
      Note: If only one approval rule matches the search criteria, the details of the corresponding approval rule are automatically displayed.
  2. In the Conditions panel, perform the following steps:
    1. Click the condition that you want to modify.
    2. In the row that is displayed, click the Search icon adjacent the <entity attributes for condition> field to select a new line-level entity attribute. For example, you can select manual discount, item attribute, and so on in the dialog box that is displayed.
    3. A dialog box containing the available entity attributes in a tree hierarchy is displayed. Select an entity attribute depending on fields that are displayed in the dynamic panel. For example, if you select Item Attribute from the tree hierarchy, a field that enables the selection of the corresponding attribute value is displayed.
    4. You can establish an “and” or “or” relationship between the conditions in a rule. Perform the following steps to establish a relationship between conditions in a rule:
      • From the <Operator> drop-down list in the dynamic panel, select And to establish an “and” relationship between the conditions in a rule. If all the selected conditions are evaluated as True, the result will be True. If any of the selected conditions are evaluated as False, the result will be False.
      • From the <Operator> drop-down list in the dynamic panel, select Or to establish an “or” relationship between the conditions in a rule. If any of the selected conditions are evaluated as True, the result will be True. If all the selected conditions are evaluated as False, the result will be False.
    5. To negate a condition, select the condition and click Not. The entity attribute in the condition is negated.
      Note:
      • You can select only one condition in a rule at a time.
      • You cannot select multiple operators between the conditions in a group. For example, if you have created three conditions, A, B, and C, you can either establish an “and” relationship or an “or” relationship between the conditions.
      • You cannot modify the sequence of the fields in the row in which a condition is created.
    6. Click Save.
