Defining Compatibility Groups

Compatibility groups are used to group compatibility rules that you create, for your own purposes.

For example, you can create one group for product compatibility rules and one group for promotion compatibility rules. Alternatively, you can create one group for each product line. You can use any logical group that makes sense to your business.

NOTE:  Whatever the grouping, when compatibility is evaluated, all rules of type compatibility will be evaluated against all products, regardless of how they are logically grouped into Compatibility Groups. The same is true of rules of type eligibility.

To define an compatibility group

1. Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, and then the Eligibility and Compatibility Matrices view.
2. In the Eligibility and Compatibility Matrices list, add a new record and complete the necessary fields. Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Name	Enter a name for a group.
   Matrix Type	To make this an compatibility rule group, select Compatibility Rules.
