Single and Multiple Type Attribute Adjustments

After determining which attributes affect pricing, you must decide whether you need a single-attribute or multiple-attribute pricing adjustment table.

When you create an Attribute Adjustment record, you use the Type field to specify that it is a single-condition or a multiple-condition adjustment as follows:

• Single condition. Use this type if the price adjustments are based on condition dimensions that apply in isolation from each other. For example, a product with the attributes Size and Color could have a price adjustment for each of these individual attributes and not for a combination of both. In this case, you should set up a single type attribute adjustment table.
• Multiple condition. Use this type if the combination of condition dimensions affect pricing—for example, if the product size and its color together determine the price adjustment.

Single-condition attribute adjustments used for attribute pricing are relatively simple to create if you need them. For information, see Process of Creating an Attribute Adjustment.

Before you begin creating multiple-condition attribute adjustments, you should decide on the following fields:

• Sort order. You must use this field to specify the order in which attributes (condition dimensions) are processed, because the order affects the adjusted price. For more information, see Order of Conditions in Multiple-Condition Pricing Tables.
• Allow any. You must decide whether to use this field to allow you to insert null value wildcards into the pricing table, so one record represents many values of an attribute (condition dimension). For more information, see Using Wildcards in Attribute Adjustments.
• Display error. You must decide whether to use this field to prevent the user from choosing an invalid combination of condition dimensions. For more information, see Preventing Users from Selecting Invalid Combinations of Attributes.
