You can set up a price rule that coordinates
how a set of price rules works together by using the Coordinator
Branch. For this type of price rule, you must have a set
of existing price rules that you want to coordinate. Then, in a new
price rule, you must nest the existing price rules by using Apply
Nested Price Rule actions on separate paths. Optionally,
you can use the Apply Rounding action in the
new price rule to round the prices that the price rule generates.
Procedure
- Open the Catalog Filter and Pricing tool.
- From the toolbar, click the arrow on the right side of Create New;
then select Price Rule.
- Set the price rule properties:
Property | Description |
---|
Name |
Type a name for this price rule. This name displays beneath
the price rule in the Price Rules - List page. |
Description |
Enter text that explains what the price rule is intended to
do. |
Tip: To edit the name and description for a price
rule, click the green circle at the start of the price rule.
- Set up the Coordinator Branch:
- From the Branching section in
the palette, drag the Coordinator Branch icon
into the price rule flow between the green and red circles.
- Click the Coordinator Branch.
- Complete the properties for the Coordinator
Branch:

Type a name for the Coordinator
Branch. |
Branch type |
Select the Branch type.
The branch type determines which path in the price rule will be used
to price a catalog entry. For branch type definitions and examples,
see Coordinator Branch in a price rule. |
Paths |
You need one path for each nested
price rule you want to coordinate:
- To add more paths, click the Create New Path icon
above the Paths table.
- For each path, type a name, for example, Path A, Path
B, Path C. The name displays in
the Price Rule Builder under the green arrow at the start of each
path.
|
- For each path that follows the Coordinator Branch,
set up a nested price rule:
- From the Actions section
in the palette, drag an Apply Nested Price Rule action
into the price rule flow to the right of the green arrow that starts
the path.
- Click the action.
- Specify the price rule to nest.
- For each additional path, repeat steps 5.a through 5.c.
- Optional: To round the prices that this price
rule generates, drag an Apply Rounding action
to the left of the red circle at the end of the price rule; then specify
one or more rounding patterns to use. You can use more than one Apply
Rounding action to round different currencies by using
different rounding patterns.
- Save and close the price rule.
