Adding Pricing Rules

Pricing rules allow you to specify the rules that govern what pricing changes must be made for the products and service items added to the quote.

The general structure of Mobileforce Rules is described Rules

To create a pricing rule, click the Add Rule button from the Pricing tab of the Quote Template page.

General options

Specify an alphanumeric name (without spaces) for the rule and optionally add a description for it.

When you save the rule, MobileForce CPQ automatically populates the metadata values (such as Created Time) for the rule.

Trigger options

Use Trigger options to specify the actual rule expression that is evaulated at run-time. If this expression evaluates to true, then approval is required before the proposal can be saved to the CRM.

Rule Evaluation Order: If you have multiple rules, enter a number to specify when the rule is to be triggered:

Trigger Condition: This is actual rule expression that is evaluated at run-time. If this expression evaluates to true then the response action is triggered.

Required Pricebook If you want this rule to only apply to a specific price book, click the drop-down menu and select it.

Triggered At Click the drop-down list, and select the exact price computation moment when the rule is to be triggered:

• At start
• At the start of each line-item
• After line-item subtotals are computed
• After line-item totals are computed
• After line-item table subtotals are computed
• At end

Skip Later Rules After Trigger: If you have multiple pricing rules, set this option to Yes to have MobileForce CPQ skip evaluation of all subsequent pricing rules, based on their Rule Evaluation Order. Ensure this option is set to No to have MobileForce evaulate subsequent pricing rules.

For more information about trigger conditions and watched inputs in MobileForce CRM, please refer to the MobileForce Expressions guide which describes the correct syntax as well as providing a comprehensive list of available functions and system variables that can be specified.

Response options

• Show Informational Message
