Assigning a price rule to a base or customer contract of a B2B store

Using HCL Commerce Accelerator, you can assign a price rule to base contracts and customer contracts in the B2B business model, including extended sites. After you assign the price rule to the contract, customers shopping under the contract are entitled to prices set by the price rule.

Before you begin

  • To learn more about assigning price rules to contracts for various business models, read Price rule assignment and contracts.
  • The contract that you want to assign the price rule to must already exist in HCL Commerce Accelerator. To create a new contract, see Creating contracts.

About this task

If you are updating a contract that contains existing pricing terms set using the HCL Commerce Accelerator catalog filter, then the price rule you assign will override those terms. In other words, the price adjustments set in the HCL Commerce Accelerator catalog filter will no longer affect the contract. Consider removing the price adjustments set in the HCL Commerce Accelerator catalog filter to avoid confusion, even though this is not mandatory.

Procedure

  1. Open HCL Commerce Accelerator. Select the store that contains the target contract.
  2. Click Sales > Accounts.
  3. Select the check box to the left of the business account that has the contract you want to assign the price rule to, and then click Contracts.
  4. Select the check box to the left of the target contract, and then click Update Extended TC.
  5. Click the Price Rule tab.
  6. In the Property Value column, select the price rule to assign to the contract.
  7. Click Save.

Results

The price rule is now assigned to the contract. You can log on to the store as a customer entitled to the contract and check that the prices on the storefront are set according to price rule you assigned.
