When you add a TM to a TM Group, you can define a penalty that will be applied to the matches from that TM. This penalty is configurable for each TM within the TM group. The Use TM Penalties option controls whether or not the assigned penalties are used or not. TM group TM penalties option is disabled by default. If a penalty is enforced, neither SPICE, ICE, nor exact matches are possible from that TM.
