• Key Concepts: 
  A rule engine is a component of the SAP Dynamic Pricing Engine (MP-APP-DPE) that enables businesses to define and manage pricing rules. It allows users to create rules that define how prices should be calculated for different products, customers, and other criteria. The rule engine also provides a way to automate the pricing process, making it easier to manage and update pricing rules. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The rule engine can be used to create pricing rules that are based on customer attributes, product attributes, or other criteria. For example, a business may create a rule that sets a different price for a product based on the customer's location or the product's availability. Once the rules are created, they can be applied to all products in the system. The rule engine also allows users to modify existing rules or create new ones as needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating pricing rules with the rule engine, it is important to consider how the rules will interact with each other. For example, if two rules are set up that both affect the same product, it is important to make sure that they do not conflict with each other. Additionally, it is important to test the rules before applying them in order to ensure that they are working correctly.
