Business rules

Business rules can be used to build complex business logic without programming, and automate and optimize business decisions.

For example, a store offers the following discounts:

• 5% for purchases between £100 and £1000
• 10% for all purchases above £1000

You can use the following logic to calculate the amount to pay after discount:

IF Amount >=100 and <=1000 THEN Discount =5%
IF Amount > 1000 THEN Discount = 10%
Else Discount = 0%
Amount to Pay = Amount - (Amount/ 100) X Discount
Return Amount to Pay

You can design the business rule based on the following rule type:

• Flow rule

• Decision tree

• Decision table

A business rule includes the following elements:

• Inputs
• Rule conditions
• Output
