Custom Python functions

Custom Python functions are a valuable tool within your pricing process that allows you to create a custom-made logic for your product that will take place before, during, or after the pricing cycle. 

There are five types of custom functions: 
Custom pricing rule - Used to create custom rules to be used in a strategy. 
Cost function - Used to calculate the cost of a product. check our guide here 
Custom rule condition - Used to create custom conditions to be used in a strategy
Before pricing pre processor - Used for calculations that need to be done before the actual pricing cycle

After pricing Post processor - Used for calculations that need to be done after the actual pricing cycle

 

For full details please see the technical documentation.
