Calculation Types

The Calculation Type stores the set of rules for calculating a particular type of discount. The Calculation Type determines whether a discount should be calculated separately or in combination with other discount types.

The discount is calculated according to the Pricing Procedure, which is defined by a Calculation Type via the Procedure Calculation Type. The relationship is automatically managed by the system.

Each Calculation Type has conditions and/or a group of conditions that the products in the order must meet to apply to them a discount. On the selected Calculation Types tab, select the desired Calculation Type record (1) to view all the associated Procedure Calculation Types (2), Condition Group (3), and Condition (4) records.

Condition Group is present for the Calculation Type record with the Group + Condition record type.
Only one Condition from the Calculation Type can be applied to the Order Line Item.

Also, it is possible to avoid a discount application under the presence of certain products in the order cart. For more information, refer to Condition: ExceptionCondition__c Field Specification.

The list of field API names of the Order Line Item object that should not be empty on the Order Line Item record.

On the child Condition records of the parent Condition Group record, the system checks the expected values for the specified Order Line Item fields.

When the appropriate record is found and the condition is met, a discount is applied. Otherwise, the system checks the next Condition record according to its Order field.
There may be no matching conditions. In this case, the system goes to the next Calculation Type record.

Since the CT Orders package Spring '22, if the matching Condition record was not found, the system checks the next Condition Group record.

Condition

All paths to the Condition Detail field on the Calculation Type records with the Condition record type.

This occurs automatically when creating the conditions, but may require manual editing of the Condition Field List if any changes or the removal of the conditions were made.

Depending on the value, either the first appropriate condition, or only the first non-zero condition, or all non-zero conditions of the Calculation Type record will be considered for the discount.

For more information, refer to Calculation Type: ApplyConditionType__c Field Specification.

There may be no matching conditions. In this case, the system goes to the next Calculation Type record.
