Constraints on Using Bundling and Aggregate Type Pricing Factors

Aggregate and bundling type pricing factors must always reference a business component that contains data specific to the current quote, order, or agreement. This is because, at runtime, the aggregate factor adds up records in the current business component in its current state.

Neither bundling type pricing factors nor aggregate type pricing factors should ever appear in a pricing model that is used to transform a price list.

Aggregate type factors may not be used in pricing models for component-based products with components. If they do, the model will base logical tests on both component and noncomponent products, and it will use these items to determine the price of the component-based product. The result will be incorrect and unpredictable pricing.

If a bundling type pricing factor is applied to a component-based product, it evaluates the customizable product as it is defined in the current session.
