You can configure the card templates of Industries Cart to remove this capability, or you can create a context rule to not allow pricing adjustments. To create a new qualification context rule set to not allow pricing adjustments, follow these instructions. For this rule to disable pricing adjustments, it must be the only context rule for pricing adjustments in your org. To conditionally disable pricing adjustments, you must specify additional context rule conditions to restrict its scope, such as account SLA or order originating channel. ## Verify the Adjustment Virtual Context Scope You must use the AdjustmentData virtual context scope for your rule. If this context scope does not exist, create it. For more information about creating context scopes, see [Creating Context Scopes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.comms_creating_context_scopes.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "If context scopes have not been created in your environment, you must create them before defining context rules. This process is performed once as part of the initial context rule setup."). For more information on virtual context scopes, see [Virtual Context Scopes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.comms_virtual_context_scopes.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Starting in Summer '18, virtual context scopes enable you to create context mappings to virtual objects. Virtual context scopes and virtual objects enable you evaluate data entered by the user at run time that is stored only in memory, such as pricing adjustment data. The Summer '18 release contains one supported virtual object, AdjustmentData, that is used for context rules for pricing adjustments."). ## Create the Context Rule To create a context rule and rule conditions to evaluate the AdjustmentValue context dimension and context mapping: 1.
