This scenario arises when:
• Either:
o A criterion exists at standard selection rule root level, and the criterion’s resolution table does not match the standard selection rule’s resolution table.
o A criterion exists at criteria list level, and the criterion’s resolution table does not match the criteria list’s resolution table.
• The criterion is excluded.
The potential ambiguity here revolves around the user’s understanding of the manner in which RPI handles an exclusion at a mismatched resolution table. For example, will these rules exclude:
• Customers with one blue product, even if they have other, non-blue products?
• Customers who only have blue products.
The answer is the first option – these rules will exclude anybody with a blue product, even if they have products of other colors.
Note that creating this scenario is somewhat convoluted, as, by default, a criterion with a resolution table that differs from its parent rule’s or list’s resolution or resolution table will automatically be created in its own criteria list, with a resolution table matching that of the rule. As such, manual manipulation of resolution level or resolution table is required for the warning to be displayed in the first place.
