Specifying Business Rules
When you upload a text delimited file describing your excess materials, you must enter a value in the business_rules field. An entry in that field might look like this:
These business rules mean that the Tier 1 companies receive a 0% discount, the Tier 2 companies receive a 10% discount, and the Tier 3 companies receive a 30% discount.
The program's administrator can define the default duration of each discount. So, for example, if the default duration is 30 calendar days for each tier, the Tier 1 discount of 0% lasts for 30 days, then the Tier 2 companies are offered the material at a 10% discount for 30 days, and finally, the Tier 3 companies are offered the materials at a 30% discount for 30 days. Your program administrator will give you more information about the discounts and their duration.
To introduce a different duration for each discount, you can enter the business rules in the text file so that the discount is followed by a hyphen and then a number of calendar days. For example,
This set of numbers indicates that the 0% discount will be in effect for 20 days, the 10% discount will be in effect for 30 days, and the 50% discount will be available for 45 days.
