Here is a summary of how the exclude constraint works with conditions in general. How exclude constraints work with specific types of conditions is covered in the topics following this one.

• Product A excludes Condition B

  If Product A is present in the solution, then Condition B cannot be true. If Condition B is true in the solution, then product A cannot be present.

• Relationship A excludes Condition B

  If any product in Relationship A is present, Condition B cannot be true. If Condition B is true in the solution, then no product from Relationship A can be present.

• Condition A excludes Product B

  If Condition A is true in the solution, then Product B is excluded. If Product B is present in the solution, then Condition A cannot be true in the solution.

• Condition A excludes Relationship B

  If Condition A is true in the solution, then all products in relationship B are excluded. If any product from Relationship B is present in the solution, then Condition A cannot be true in the solution.

• Condition A excludes Condition B
