Defining Matching Criteria
When setting up Price Rules make sure that you restrict the matching as much as needed/possible in order to avoid applying Price Rules to the "wrong" Campaign Items.
For example, the Price Rule below would be applied to Campaign items which are in a Media Campaign with business Type Rebate in Kind, based on the Ad Spec news.com_Homepage_Banner and capped at 100 Clicks per 1 hour.
Predefined Matching Criteria
You can create your price rules to be as specific or as broad as you want using the relevant matching criteria.
Matching Criteria | Source / Additional Information |

Advertising Medium | Source: Ad Spec |
Placement | Source: Ad Spec |
Ad Spec | Source: Campaign Item |
Ad Type | Source: Ad Spec |

Custom Matching Criteria
Version 2.119
It is now possible to create your own custom matching criteria for your Price Rules. In order to do this, your Salesforce Administrator will need to set up the relevant matching criteria. For more information, see 8.4.6 Set up Price Rules/Dynamic Pricing.
Matching for Packages
Version 2.119
As of version 2.119, the package header is leading in the matching of Price Rules. This means that when creating Price Rules, it is possible to configure whether these rules are package relevant and you can treat your inventory different whether it is part of a package or not.
Insert screenshot.
Once a rule is matched to a Package Header, all components in the Package will also have the price rule applied. No non-package relevant Price Rules will be applied
For example:
- I have Price Rule A which is matching the Ad Spec for Package Header A (marked as Package Header relevant) (Applied)
- I have Price Rule A.2 which is matching the Placement for Package Component A.2 (Not Applied)
- I have Price Rule B.2 which is matching the Ad Price for Package Component B.2 (Applied)
- I have no valid Price Rule which is matching for Package Header B
Below you can see an example of how the above price rules are applied to Packages A & B.
