    • Table name convention: <<dependency>>RelevantCompetitionData.

If none is found, use the dependency fallback mechanism with the mapping type Lookup.

Product Competition Module and Competition-based Strategies

If the module is turned off, null will be passed to the pricing engine. The resulting price will then be null as well and there will be a warning message indicating that there is no competition price to be calculated.
