Pricing rule
A pricing rule links conditions to a price or calculation. Product, customer, quantity and validity need an unambiguous match.
What is a pricing rule?
A pricing rule specifies the conditions under which a price or price calculation applies. It can consider a product, customer group, minimum quantity or period. Odoo documents fixed prices, discounts and formulas for this purpose. Several rules matching at once require a defined selection or priority order that fits the system used.
A fictional office supplier plans a quantity rule for a specific desk organiser in a business customer price list. The regular unit price is 10 EUR excluding tax; from 5 units, 9 EUR excluding tax per unit applies to the entire line quantity. In the trial, 4 units should receive the standard price and 5 units the volume price. The team also wants to check whether the defined standard price applies again after the rule expires. Minimum purchase and volume pricing remain separate decisions: a lower price tier alone does not prohibit buying a smaller quantity.
