Can anyone explain (in detail) the purpose and intended function
of this option in pricing rule.
When enabled it prevents the proper display of discounts (which should
be applied at each row of the sales invoice items). When saving a sales invoice
that correctly has the pricing rule applied, the user gets a message like:
Row 1: user has not applied the rule Total_100 on the item 10A228
The discount is reflected in the total, but not at the item discount field.
If I uncheck the option “Validate Applied Rule” the rule is correctly applied in some cases but not when my UOM is x10 like in the above linked forum post.
@volkswagner Validate Applied Rule: Shows the entered validation message if the discount/rate set manually by you in a transaction does not match the Pricing Rule.This is useful when the top distributor in the hierarchy decides the discount/rate to be applied and you are only validating if the Pricing Rule is applied correctly.
When “Validate Applied Rule” is checked and criteria matches the rule, the discount is deducted from the invoice total, but it doesn’t indicate in the discount field of the sales invoice items list. The warning pops up that the rule was not applied by the user and there is no method to approve the applied discount. When the box is not checked, the 10% discount is added to each applicable item row.
This behavior does not seem expected according to the description.
