Product and Bundle Rules Sets
Product and bundle rules sets contain one or more qualifying rules specifying definition, dependency, and compatibility rules and may specify disclosure data applicable to a product or bundle. Rules sets govern the “offer-ability” of the product or bundle by an airline.
The attributes and characteristics listed in the following section apply to both product and bundle rules sets.
Details about Product and Bundle Rules Sets
- A product/bundle can have none, one, or more than one embedded rules sets.
- Product/bundle rules sets can be created at the same time as a product/bundle or afterward.
- Product/bundle rules sets cannot exist on their own; they must be embedded in a product/bundle.
- Each product/bundle rules set is a separate entity with a unique catalog-owner assigned ID. As a result, rules sets can be added and removed from products/bundles without impacting any others.
- When a product/bundle rules set is updated, the new data replaces the entire rules set.
- Each product/bundle rules set has an ID that is unique within the product/bundle.
📝 An ID (with the same data or different data) can be reused across multiple products/bundles. Reusing an ID, however, does not copy or provide a reference to the content of the rules set. - If multiple products/bundles require the same rule, copy the rule data from one product/bundle and embed it in another one; each rules set will have its own record identifier.
