Sales Rule Logger

Explanation

Use this activity to analyze the result for the configuration. Save the logger information to a rtf file for further investigation if needed. Note that you cannot change anything in this dialog, the displayed information is a result log from the sales rule evaluation process during configuration.

Four fields display the number of characteristics that have invalid, required and/or hidden values as well as characteristics with mandatory quantity. The names of the characteristics will be prompted with tooltip when the cursor is moved over the fields.

Displayed data that is used in the evaluation is Part number, part configuration revision, Order information and the values and quantities for each characteristic.

Sales rule sequence setting on part configuration revision decides in which order the sales rules are displayed and evaluated.
Possible values for each sales rule are:

• Condition is TRUE for a sales rule: Connected actions are executed and displayed directly.
• Condition is TRUE for a sales rule connected to a template: Connected sales rules in the template is executed and displayed next in sequence in the logger.
• Condition is FALSE for a sales rule: No actions are executed or displayed for the sales rule in the logger.
• Condition is FALSE for a sales rule connected to a template: No sales rules within the template will be executed. 

Information on the condition line always displays the left condition value first with the value it is compared to as the second value. If no condition exists for the sales rule the information will be (Empty condition) which means the condition is always evaluated as true.

It is possible to use search functionality to find specific sales rules or characteristics.
