A Ruleset is a collection of rules applied to proposals through the Proposal Departments feature. Each Ruleset contains one or more rule groups, and each group consists of rules that define conditions for individual item attributes. Merchants and suppliers use Product Rulesets to set expectations for proposal submissions, ensuring all product data meets the required standards.
  • Rulesets enforce validation on items and attributes during the proposal process.
  • Only items that meet the defined criteria will be accepted into the proposal.
  • Every merchant must create at least two Rulesets:
    • One for Merchant-side validation
    • One for Supplier-side validation
    • Refer to the Proposal Departments page for setup details.
