Siebel Product Administration Guide > Product and Promotion Eligibility and Compatibility > About Compatibility RulesCompatibility rules state that products require or exclude other products. You can create rules for products, product lines, and product classes. As a simple example, assume that customers who buy a computer must buy a monitor, and there are only two monitors available. The Turbo computer supports the Standard monitor but not the Flat-screen monitor. Then you would create two different rules: The Subject and Object of Compatibility RulesAs you can see in this example, compatibility rules consist of:
Requires rules apply in only one direction. If the subject requires the object, the object does not necessarily require the subject. For example, the Turbo computer requires a Standard monitor. However, the Standard monitor does not necessarily require the Turbo computer; it can also be used with other computers. Excludes rules apply in both directions. If the subject excludes the object, the object necessarily excludes the subject. For example, the Turbo computer does not work with the Flat-screen monitor, and that necessarily means that the Flat-screen monitor does not work with the Turbo computer.
