Arbitration Plans in PeopleSoft SCM

The arbitration plan is the arbiter when multiple price rules match the transaction. It determines the order in which the price rules are applied to the transaction base price. For price rules that match on the same criteria, you can define the arbitration plan to break those ties and tell the system which rule to apply first.

You can create price rules without an arbitration plan, but the system does not apply the price rules unless you create an arbitration plan.

Note:

In PeopleSoft SCM, the system assigns the arbitration plan to the sold to customer and customer group. The arbitration plan appears by default on the sales order in this sequence: sold to customer, customer group, and default that is defined for the transaction.

The options that are available in the arbitration plan are established by each transaction.

The arbitration plan is used for filtering and sorting of adjustments and formulas, it is not used for selecting price lists.
