What are Price Plan Adjustment Definitions?
Price Plan Adjustment Run Definitions are used to define rules for runs that will adjust Price Plan Rates whenever the VAT rate of a product included in the Price Plan changes.
Runs will create a new version of each affected Price Plan and calculate the new rate for products whose VAT rate has changed.
Run Definitions must be submitted as soon as they are created and are executed one time or on a recurring basis, based on the defined scheduling Settings. Once a Definition is executed, a Process Run is logged and after the Run is completed, the log information is available on the respective tab.
The user has the option to delete the specific run as long as it is not yet executed (still in 'Draft' state).
A Definition must be in an 'Effective' Life Cycle State to be submitted. The Life Cycle State can be changed between 'Effective' and 'Not Effective' using the dedicated action.
