Question

To add items (parts) to a configuration, Recommended Item rules are used. Which two statements are true when using Recommended Item rules?

A. Recommended Item rules can return only the base price of an item (part) and cannot use dynamic prices based off data tables.
B. If multiple Recommended Item rules recommend the same item (part), the item (part) price is picked from the rule that is last in the order.
C. If multiple Recommended Item rules return the same item (part), the quantity of the item (part) is a total of all quantities returned by each rule.
D. Recommended Item rules can show only the base prices defined in the customer specific module.

Answer 1

In using Recommended Item rules for product configuration, dynamic pricing is possible and the last rule recommending an item sets its price. Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

When dealing with Recommended Item rules in product configuration, there are specific functions and characteristics that govern their behavior. First, it is important to clarify that Recommended Item rules are capable of returning more than just the base price of an item.

They can use dynamic pricing which might be derived from data tables, as opposed to only using fixed base prices. Therefore, statement A is incorrect. Secondly, when multiple rules recommend the same item, the rule that recommends the item last in the sequence will determine the price of that item, which confirms statement B as true.

Lastly, when the same item is recommended by multiple rules, the recommendation is not cumulative in terms of quantity; the quantity is specified by the individual rule and does not automatically sum up across various rules, making statement C false.

Statement D is also not accurate as Recommended Item rules are not limited to showing only base prices defined in a customer-specific module. Instead, these rules can use various pricing strategies, including discounts, markups, or other dynamic pricing mechanisms.
