To take action when underwriting rules evaluate to true or false, create the relevant flows before you define the rules.
- From the App Launcher, find and select Product Catalog Management.
- Select a root product.
- From the root product details page, click the Underwriting Rules tab.
- Click New Rule.
- Select the object type as Quote.
- If needed, select a record type.
- Select a transition step that specifies the object's transition from one state to another
if the rule evaluates to true.For example, a quote can move from the Approved stage to the Issued stage. The Stage Management configuration determines the possible transitions for the selected object type and record type.
- In Rule Engine Type, select BusinessRuleEngine.
- Enter a name and description for the underwriting rule.
- Select the rule status. The rule engine runs only the active rules.
- Select a start and end date.
- Click Next.
- Make sure that the Root Product matches the product you're creating the rules for.
- In Scope, click Search Products and select a product in the root product hierarchy. For example, if the hierarchy includes Auto and Driver, you can set the scope to either Auto or Driver. If the scope is Driver, you can define rule conditions for Driver and its direct ancestors in the product hierarchy.
- Specify the rule conditions.
- In Value, select a product. This field includes the product selected in Scope and its direct ancestors in the root product hierarchy.
- To define criteria against the attributes of the product selected in Value, click Add Attribute. Each rule supports up to 5 conditions and 5 sub-conditions. Only the AND operator is supported between conditions. The rule runs only when all the conditions are met.
- Click Add Field to define criteria against the context fields. The context fields are retrieved from the context definition linked to the rule library.
- Click Next.
- Click Add Action to define actions performed when the rule evaluates
to true and when it evaluates to false.
- Select the rule evaluation type: True or False.
- Enter an action name.
