Manage Pending Trade Rule Names

You can set up pending trade (PT) rule names for use with pending trade rules. Pending trade rule names, which are optional, allow you to associate one or more entities with a set of pending trade rules. After you create a pending trade rule name, you can assign that name to one or more entities, and can assign that name to one or more pending trade rule details.

If you identify a PT Rule Name for one or more entities at the entity level, the system can apply only pending trade rule details that uses this PT Rule Name to those entities. Otherwise, if you do not specify PT Rule Name values at the entity level, the system does not consider the pending trade rule's PT Rule Name value when identifying the appropriate pending trade rule details to apply to the entity.

For example, you apply pending trade rules to entities 1, 2, and 3. You create a PT Rule Name of ABC and assign it to entity 1 and entity 2. Entity 3 has no PT Rule Name assigned. You create pending trade rule details that have a PT Rule Name value of either ABC or a null value. When the system applies pending trade rules to entities 1 and 2, it only considers pending trade rules with a PT Rule Name of ABC. When the system applies pending trade rules to entity 3, it only considers pending trade rules with a PT Rule Name that is a null value.
