(Enterprise)View where price lists, rules, equations, and constants are used
You might need to check where a pricing object is used before changing it or deleting it. For example, before changing a price equation, we can see a list of price rules that use the price equation. If so, we can open the pricing object and click a tab labeled References. For price rules, this tab also shows a list of contracts to which the price rule is assigned. The References tab is available for these pricing objects: price lists, price rules, price equations, and price constants.
Task info
We cannot delete a pricing object if it is being used in another pricing object. For example, we cannot delete a price list if it is used in a price rule or a price equation. To delete a pricing object, we must remove it from all pricing objects that use it.
Procedure
- Open the Catalog Filter and Pricing tool.
- In the explorer view, click the folder containing the pricing object we want to check, for example, the Price Rules folder.
- In the list view, right-click the pricing object to check, and then click Open.
- Click the tab labeled References. The tab lists any pricing objects that reference the current pricing object. For price rules, the tab also lists contracts to which the price rule is assigned.
If we are using logged on to an asset store, the References tab does not display pricing objects from an extended site store. For example, if we are viewing a price equation that belongs to the asset store, the References tab does not display price rules from extended site stores that use the price equation.
- To view or edit any pricing object listed on the References tab, double-click the row containing its name; to return to the current pricing object, click its name in the explorer view.
If we are using viewing the References tab for a price rule, we cannot double-click and open a contract. Contracts are managed in WebSphere Commerce Accelerator only.
