An eligibility criteria rule is a combination of configuration data and processing logic that evaluates conditions to determine if a calculation rule should be applied or not. The configuration that controls the eligibility logic is defined on the eligibility criteria business object. The eligibility criteria BO has an associated Apply Calculation Rule Eligibility algorithm to execute the logic of the evaluation.
The eligibility criteria rule algorithm is designed to indicate whether the criteria evaluate to True, False or Insufficient Data. A result of Insufficient Data indicates that some or all of information required to evaluate the criteria was not available.
The eligibility criteria BO includes configuration to indicate what action to take for each of the possible evaluation results. The available actions are Apply Rule, Do Not Apply Rule, Check Next Condition or Terminate Calculation. A result of Insufficient Data has an additional action option of Error which will cause the calculation processor to terminate calculation and report an exception.
Refer to Designing Your Calculation Rules and Groups for information about designing eligibility criteria for your rules.
