Mapping a pricing rule or coupon adjustment to charges

Sterling Order Management System Software stores the adjustments that are generated as part of a pricing call using a charge category and charge name combination. The Pricing Service returns these attributes during the pricing call, based on the data configured for each pricing rule action. When multiple pricing rules are applicable, adjustments from the pricing rule actions are summed.

The pricing module uses the charge category and charge name, as follows:

• The pricing module uses only the charge category and charge names that are defined within a given Pricing Organization, and for the document type Sales Order (0001 only).
• Every pricing rule can also be associated with a charge category and charge name that is defined within a given Pricing Organization as follows:
  • A pricing rule generating a charge (percentage or absolute) cannot have a charge name that is defined as discount only.
  • A pricing rule generating a discount (percentage or absolute) cannot have a charge name that is defined as billable only.
  • A pricing rule giving a flat fee discount cannot have a charge name that is defined as billable only. It should always be a discount.
