Apply Rules Overview

The following section highlights the logic in the base algorithm type Apply Form Rules (C1-FRM-APPRL). It has been designed to call the algorithms plugged into the Apply Rule plug-in spot for each rule linked to the form type for a given rule event. This algorithm type should be plugged into the Business Object Status - Enter plug-in spot for each state that requires rules to be executed.

At a high level, the base algorithm follows these steps

Note:

No updates. The individual apply rule algorithms should not do any updates to the form data in the database for performance reasons. These algorithms simply update the internal form data area and exception information in memory with new values. The Apply Form Rule BO enter plug-in is responsible for updating the form and creating or closing form exceptions.
