Set whether a discount is applied as a line item or per unit
Discount calculation method Select Per unit if you want the pricing engine to calculate the discount based on the prices per unit instead of a line item. By default, the calculations are done on a line item-basis. *See the table below that shows the difference between the two calculations.
Set maximum number of properties allowed for a product or bundle
Maximum number of properties that are allowed for a product or bundle Type the maximum number of properties (specifications) a product or bundle can have. Product properties are added to a product family record, and all the child products and bundles under the product family inherit the properties added to the parent product family. The number specified in this setting is applied only when you publish a product or a bundle with the associated properties.

*Table: Difference between calculations

Discount method Product Price per unit Quantity Discount Amount
Line item Product 1 100 11 10 (100*11)-10=1090
Per unit Product 2 100 11 10 (100-10)*11=990
