You define calculation behavior in the calculation step or its linked pricing condition template.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-consumer_goods_retail_admin-264-0-0-production-enus/5bb7d7f5-119d-42d0-8596-95e762837019/images/icon_note.png)

Note If you edit the pricing condition template fields from the Calculation Step UI, it affects the Pricing Condition Template itself.

Add a calculation schema step.

1. From App Launcher, find and select **Calculation Schemas**.
2. Select a calculation schema, and then click **Edit**.
3. On the Calculation Schema Steps section, select the pricing condition template and click **Add Step**.
4. Provide the relevant step details and save your changes.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-consumer_goods_retail_admin-264-0-0-production-enus/5bb7d7f5-119d-42d0-8596-95e762837019/images/icon_example.png)

Example We have an order with standard order items weighing 1,200 kg, return items weighing 200 kg, and Free Items weighing 100 kg.  With Item Meta Rules, you can define how to sum up these items in an order.

Here “Delivery (excl. Free Item)” is used as the item meta-rule that results in 1,200 kg (as in the order item template for returns and free items is set as Neutral and for standard order items it’s set as Add) being used as weight for the scale condition.

Here is the image showing order item meta rules for standard order.
