Example for Consolidation with Rules in Rule Strategies 

The rules-based ATP check determines the rules R1 to R5. The following table shows the settings for these rules from integrated rule maintenance and the results of the rule evaluation.

Rule	Direct Delivery Without Consolidation Indicator	Consolidation Location	Result of Rule Evaluation
R1	-	CL1	Consolidation in consolidation location CL1 for all substitutions of this rule
R2	-	-	Consolidation in consolidation location CL1
R3	-	CL2	Consolidation in consolidation location CL2
R4	Set	-	No consolidation
R5	-	-	Consolidation in consolidation location CL2

Result of Evaluation of R1

The consolidation location is CL1.

Result of Evaluation of R2

The evaluation of R2 also leads to a consolidation in consolidation location CL1, since no other consolidation location is defined for R1 and consolidation is not deactivated.

Result of Evaluation of R3

The evaluation of R3 leads to a consolidation in the consolidation location CL2. For R3, the system does not use the consolidation location CL1 from R1, since a different consolidation location is defined for R3.

Result of Evaluation of R4

The evaluation of R4 does not lead to a consolidation, since consolidation is deactivated for this rule.

Result of Evaluation of R5

The evaluation of R5 leads to a consolidation in the consolidation location CL2. For R5, the system uses the last consolidation location determined in the rule evaluation.
