How does RPM handle a Maintain Margin strategy overlapping with another e.g. Competitive strategy?

RPM allows a Maintain Margin strategy and a Competitive strategy to be overlapped, how is this handled in the pricing proposals? Ideally I'd like a two step process where the competitive strategy is checked first and a price proposed, then the Maintain Margin runs against this to determine whether it is outside margin objectives. This allows a retailer to be competitive, but not at the expense of margin, e.g. in the case of a Convenience sSore where price is important, but convenience of store allows for a higher price.

I know that an Area Differential can apply Competitive rules on top of the Area Differential, but this will only result in a lower price if the competition is lower as I understand and not achieve a maintained margin.

Howdy, Stranger!
