Allowance tree

The allowance logic is graphically represented by a tree structure called an allowance tree. An allowance component represents each instruction inside the allowance logic. This structure consists of a root from which the allowance components create branches. The Allow Function component marks the end of each branch.

As shown in the illustration below, the tree contains the root representing the allowance logic and the branches for the different allowance components:

In addition to allowance components, you can create the following items:

• Counters

• Parameters

• Pricing macros

• Translation tables

• Tier tables

• Mapping tables

• Range tables

Pricing macros, translation tables, tier tables, mapping tables, and range tables can be reused in any allowance logic objects.
