Re: [rules-users] Drools Rule Engine - Tiered Rates
You can do what you like, it is how you express it which is the challenge...
What you seem to be saying is that your model is wrong, you don't have a concept of
"a rate", you instead have the concept of multiple rates and your model needs to
reflect this.
What happens for the case of 2500? Will this have the first 1000 as 10%, next 1000 at 20%
and next 500 as 30% etc...
Your model is probably also going to reflect what work you actually want to perform and
get out at the end.
With the above scenario you have two options:
If you want to know which rates apply you would probably just have your rules check min
units and add all the rates to a list (perhaps expanded to say their range).
If you don't actually care about the rates you may be able to design your rules so
that each fires and just adds the required tax amount onto a accumulator value.

Hi Greg,
Thnx 4 the mail that u have sent. It was really helpful in how can we
implement a Tiered rate concept using Drools Rule Engine. I have a question
concerning the mail that u sent and i would like to ask u if it can be
implemented:
{
Object rate = rateType.newInstance();
rateType.set( rate, "minUnits", 0 );
rateType.set( rate, "maxUnits", 1000 );
rateType.set( rate, "revenuePercent", 10 );
ksession.insert(rate);
}
{
Object rate = rateType.newInstance();
rateType.set( rate, "minUnits", 1001 );
rateType.set( rate, "maxUnits", 2000 );
rateType.set( rate, "revenuePercent", 20 );
ksession.insert(rate);
}
{
Object sale = saleType.newInstance();
saleType.set( sale, "units", 1500 );
ksession.insert(sale);
}
In this case 1500 will have a percentage of 20% because the value is
between 1001 and 2000 but in fact the following must occur (1000 should have
10% and the remaining 500 should have 20% ). Can we implement this is
Drools Rule Engine.
Regards,
Ram
