Sum of Assets Greater Than MAX Cardinality


The promotion has a product component with multiple instances among the assets. If the sum of the assets is greater than the MAX cardinality defined in the promotion, then there is an ambiguity.

Conclusion

  • If no MAX cardinality is defined, then there is no ambiguity.
  • If MAX cardinality is defined, sum up the Qty (in assets). If the sum is:
    • Less than MAX, then there is no ambiguity
    • Greater than MAX, then it is ambiguous
