D-007 Which field must a fixed-price deal provide, when the text says "Price attribute must be provided if the deal is a fixed price deal"?

What the schemas do

dealfloor, the only price the terms carry: a deal whose pricetype is 3, Fixed Price, must send it; elsewhere it is guidance.

Options

• dealfloor Chosen

  dealfloor, the only price the terms carry: a deal whose pricetype is 3, Fixed Price, must send it; elsewhere it is guidance.

• unread

  No field: the sentence names none, so it states no requirement a payload can be checked against.

Why

The terms carry one price, dealfloor, and its row says it is guidance "unless pricetype is Fixed", so a fixed-price deal's price is its dealfloor. The sentence's "must" makes the rule an error: a deal with pricetype 3 and no dealfloor breaks it. It is a sentence of the Implementation Guidance, not a row's stated presence, from which alone the schema's conditions come, so it is a rule with valid and invalid vectors. The row's own "should be used as guidance to buyers" says what the value means where the price isn't fixed, which the field's description carries, so it is informative.

What we ask the specification to state

Name the field: "dealfloor must be provided if pricetype is 3 (Fixed Price)". The sentence says "Price attribute", which no table names.
