About Rating Based on Multiple RUMs with Pipeline Manager
To rate an event using multiple RUMs with Pipeline Manager, you set up multiple Pricing steps. In other words, you configure pipeline rating within the individual pricing.
For each RUM, the data is set in the Event Data Record (EDR) before it is sent to the batch pipeline. Pipeline Manager then uses this data to do the rating based on each individual RUM. Each RUM is fully rated before rating the next RUM.
For more information about applying multiple RUMs to rate a batch event, see "Applying Multiple RUMs to Rate a Batch Event".
