Rule Conditions
Price Lists and Routings can be connected to rules, for example, to add a surcharge or set a specific method in a process order. These rules are linked to a Rule Condition which is evaluated and executed in the context of the current order.
Rule conditions are a core feature for controlling routings, price lists, and quality requirements within the JOP extension. They allow for highly flexible and granular production setups.
A rule condition consists of a header and one or more lines.
Header
The header includes the following fields:
- Code — The unique identifier of the rule condition.
- Description — A short description of the rule or its purpose.
- Active — Indicates whether the rule condition is currently active or in evaluation.
Condition Lines
Each line contains a single condition, such as:
Service = "PVD"Material = "HSS"Recoating = Yes
Multiple lines can be combined using Boolean operators: AND, OR, and NOT. Complex logical expressions can include up to 10 levels of parentheses.

- Property
