Tactic Product Conditions

Tactic product conditions are categorized into external and internal depending on the table in which the conditions are stored:

• External conditions: The conditions stored in the Tactic Product Condition table. The system stores all conditions in this table by default.
• Internal Conditions: The tactic product conditions that are additionally stored in the Account Product Measure table when the Condition Creation Definition Level field of the tactic template is set to Tactic and the Target field of the tactic condition creation definition record contains Internal.

Note When conditions are created, the system generates a unique off-platform ID for each condition in the Tactic Product Condition table. This ID is used to uniquely identify a condition in the Tactic Product Condition table. For internal conditions, the off-platform IDs are mapped to the Account Product Measure table to create a relation between the records that are present in both tables. The relation is used while updating or deleting conditions.

Note When the Check For Duplicates field of the Tactic Definition Creation Definition (TCCD) record that’s used for creating the condition is set to True, while creating internal conditions, the system checks for duplicate conditions in the Account Product Measure table.

Configurations for Creating Tactic Product Conditions

Depending on the condition creation definition level that’s selected in the tactic template, the system uses the configurations defined either in the tactic template or the TCCD records to create conditions for tactic products (standard and BOM). See the table for more details:

Creating Tactic Product Conditions

See the different types of tactic product conditions and the criteria for creating the conditions.

Note The Condition Maintenance option doesn’t appear in the UI. Use project-specific processes, such as workflows and triggers, to update this option to create conditions.

Conditions Without Time Constraint

The system creates tactic product conditions without time constraint only when the Condition Change Rule option of the corresponding tactic template is set to Update.

Conditions with Time Constraint

The system creates tactic product conditions with time constraint only when the Condition Change Rule option of the corresponding tactic template is set to Finish.

The creation of conditions based on product assortments is additionally dependent on the selection of the Consider Account Product List option of the corresponding promotion template, as described in this table.

Scenario	Description
The Consider Account Product List option of the corresponding promotion template is deselected.	The system creates tactic product conditions without time constraint only when the Condition Change Rule option of the corresponding tactic template is set to Update.
The Consider Account Product List option of the corresponding promotion template is deselected.	The system creates tactic product conditions with time constraint only when the Condition Change Rule option of the corresponding tactic template is set to Finish. Also the start date of the relevant tactic timeframe, considering the time scope of the condition source KPI, is greater than the current date. Or, the current date is within the time range of the relevant tactic timeframe (Date From of the tactic considering the time scope of the condition source KPI <= current date <= Date Thru of the tactic considering the time scope of the condition source KPI).
The Consider Account Product List of the corresponding promotion template is selected for a time-dependent sales org (Account Product List Type = Time-Dependent).	For all such tactics, the system verifies that the Condition Product Group Level of the corresponding tactic template is set to Product. Then, the system determines the products for which the time-dependent account product list timeframe overlaps with the relevant tactic timeframe, considering the time scope of the condition source KPI). The system considers the first time-dependent account product list for the determined products and creates tactic product conditions for the same. Note If the Condition Product Group Level of the corresponding tactic template isn’t set to Product, then the conditions are created based on the relevant tactic timeframe.

Note The system doesn’t create, update, or delete conditions for the tactics for which the relevant timeframe, which is based on the time scope of the KPI definition, is completely in the past (Date Thru of the tactic timeframe < current date).

Updating Tactic Product Conditions

The system updates the tactic product conditions with or without time constraint when one of these values is edited:

• The start and end dates of the corresponding tactic timeframe
• The time scope of the KPI definition assigned to the tactic template
• The condition source KPI or the condition product-group level of the corresponding tactic template
• The promotion phase related to the tactic
• The total value at the product-group level

For conditions with time constraint, when the condition is in the future, the value is updated with the new value. For running conditions, the system ends the condition at the current date and a new condition is created starting with the next date.

Note These updates are independent of the selection of the Consider Account Product List attribute.

Conditions that are created based on product assortments are updated when the time-dependent account product list timeframe is updated and doesn't overlap with the relevant tactic timeframe. After the conditions are generated, only actual changes in the conditions are updated in both Tactic Product Condition and Account Product Measure tables.

Note When a condition is updated, the Valid From and Valid Thru fields of the tactic product condition are updated.

Note For internal conditions, in addition to the Tactic Product Condition table, the system updates the condition records in the Account Product Measure table as well.

Deleting Tactic Product Conditions

Conditions that are created based on product assortments are deleted when:

• A product is no longer listed.
• A product is removed from the time-dependent account product list.

Note

• The system doesn’t delete conditions for which the relevant tactic timeframe is running, that is, the Valid Thru of the conditions is set to the current date.
• When an external condition is deleted, the system sets the Status field of the Tactic Product Condition table to Deleted. In case of internal conditions, the conditions are deleted or removed from the Account Product Measure table.
