5 Solution Scope

This section talks about the known feature restrictions and limitations in 1705 release.

Feature Restrictions

There are feature restrictions from the pricing customization objects. Basically these feature restrictions can be looked at as certain features/attributes of condition technique objects (Condition Type, Access Sequence and Pricing procedure) which are not supported in SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer.

Within this there are again two categories of limitations:

1. Feature restrictions with which the customization cannot uploaded in the SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer system, the upload tool will reject the upload with error messages. This means that the SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer system will not be able to store the unsupported customization.

2. Feature restrictions with which the customization can still be uploaded to the SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer system, the upload tool will accept the upload with warnings. This means that the SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer system will be able to store the unsupported customization but the offline pricing engine will not make use of it.

So, based on these categories here’s the list of feature restrictions:

Table 1:
