Typographical Conventions in Oracle Application Help System Paths
This course uses a navigation path convention to represent actions you perform to find
pertinent information in the Oracle Applications Help System.
The following help navigation path, for example
(Help) General Ledger > Journals > Enter Journals
represents the following sequence of actions:
1. In the navigation frame of the help system window, expand the General Ledger entry.
2. Under the General Ledger entry, expand Journals.
3. Under Journals, select Enter Journals.
4. Review the Enter Journals topic that appears in the document frame of the help system
window.

Overview of Advanced Pricing in the Order to Cash Process

Overview of Pricing in the Order to Cash Process
Pricing sends customer list price, agreement price, and modifier information to orders being
entered manually in Order Management and to orders being entered in other Oracle
applications which can then be either imported or can use an API via Order Capture into Order
Management.

From Basic Pricing to Advanced

Relationship of Oracle Basic Pricing to Oracle Advanced Pricing
Advanced Pricing significantly extends and expands the capabilities of Basic Pricing.
Advanced Pricing and Basic Pricing share common software components that run in either
basic or advanced mode. The pricing system software components review how they are
installed - e.g. full or shared to determine which mode to run in.
Users of Basic Pricing are installed shared and are not licensed to use Advanced Pricing
capabilities. In basic mode, the pricing systems software components inhibit exposure of
Advanced features in the user interface setup windows. Since the information necessary to
drive the Advanced functionality cannot be set up in a Pricing implementation running in Basic
mode, use of Advanced features is also inhibited.
Users who have licensed Advanced Pricing are installed as Full and will have all setup
windows and advanced features provided by Advanced Pricing. Since all information can be
set up, Advanced features are fully enabled.

Pricing Engine Overview

The Pricing Engine answers three questions:
What is being priced?
Who is asking for the price?
How is the base unit price to be adjusted?
Once it has all this information, it selects the price list price and then applies any qualified
modifiers to calculate the final Selling Price.
WHAT?
Based on the seeded Item Context and any user-defined pricing attributes that have been set up:
The Item Context such as the Item Number, Item Category, or All Items.
Using pricing attributes enables you to define characteristics about an item that affect the
selling price.
For example, pricing attributes could be set up to represent height and length. When
entering an Order, the system will prompt for the height and length the customer is
ordering so that the pricing engine can use that information to calculate the unit selling
price.

Chapter 1 - Page 26
WHO?
The pricing engine uses qualifiers passed from the Sales Order to determine WHO is asking for
the price. Then it uses the passed qualifiers to select which modifiers will be used to calculate
the final selling price.
You can associate qualifiers with price lists, modifier lists, and modifier lines. These qualifiers
act like rules protecting your modifiers from being used incorrectly. Oracle provides seeded
qualifier contexts that you can use immediately. Some example of the seeded qualifiers
include:
Customer Context: Name, Bill-to, Ship-to, Customer Class, Sales Channel.
Order Context: Order/Line Type, Customer PO, Agreement, Ship Date.
Terms Context: Payment terms, Freight Terms.
Modifier List Context: Price List.
Volume Context: Order Amount, Line Volume
Note: These are not the only fields available with each context.
HOW?
Once the Pricing Engine has selected a unit price it determines HOW to adjust it by selecting
qualified modifiers.
For example, Discounts and Surcharges can be applied as a Percent, Amount, New Price or
Lumpsum to the unit price. However, Freight and Special Charges are not used in the
calculation of the Unit Price. These values are stored separately and added to the Line and
Order totals.

Overview of the Pricing Engine
The pricing engine receives a pricing request which it processes and supplies the base (initial)
price from the price list or customer agreement. It then applies any modifiers, calculates the
selling price, and returns the result to the calling application.

Preparing the Price Request Structure
The calling applications submit price requests. This function configures a pricing request
into a pricing request structure. The pricing request structure provides information about all
the qualifiers and product pricing attributes.
Selecting the Price List or Modifier List
This function selects which price lists are eligible for the current pricing request. It uses the
qualifiers and pricing attributes to select an eligible list of prices or modifiers it can apply
to the pricing request lines according to the certain rules.
Determining List Price
This function takes the validated price list lines and applies them to the pricing request
lines. You can specify the list price on a price list as unit price, percent price, or formula.
Applying Price and Modifier Adjustments
This function takes the validated modifier list lines and applies them to the pricing request
lines. The modifier function provides price adjustments such as discounts, price breaks,
surcharges, coupons, item and term substitutions, and other item discounts. Discount and

Pricing qualifiers control who is eligible for certain prices (price lists) and benefits (modifiers)
Some example qualifiers are:
Customer Class = VIP
Order Type = Special
Attributes determine where the specific values in which you define pricing contexts in product
or customer hierarchies:
Customer hierarchy
Level where qualifier characteristics can be defined such as customer or customer
name
Product hierarchy
Level at which pricing characteristics can be defined such as item number,
category, or brand
Example: All plastic items of Grade B quality get a 50% discount
The prices can be:

The Advanced Pricing Process

The Advanced Pricing Process
The calling application sends a request to the pricing engine (the pricing request) for a sales
order from Customer 1 with two linesshampoo and conditioner.
The pricing engine selects the appropriate information into the pricing request structure and
analyzes the pricing request.

Qualifiers

Qualifiers
Oracle Advanced Pricing lets you define qualifiers to determine eligibility rules governing who
can receive a particular price, discount, promotion, or benefit. Qualifiers and qualifier groups
can then be linked to Oracle price lists and modifiers. The following lists common qualifier
terms:
Qualifier Contexts
Qualifier contexts are flattened hierarchies where similar qualifying attributes can be grouped
into logical categories. The specificity is indicated by precedence.
Qualifiers
Qualifiers are specific attributes that assist Oracle Advanced Pricing with limiting the who for
benefit or price eligibility.
Qualifier Value
A qualifier value is a value you chose to associate a qualifier attribute.

Modifiers

Modifiers
Defines how Oracle Advanced Pricing will make adjustments such as a discount or surcharge.
In Advanced Pricing, when you set up modifiers, you define the adjustments your customers
may receive. You control the application of modifiers by using rules such as qualifiers and
related attributes.
Modifiers enable you to set up price adjustments benefits and freight and special charges that
the pricing engine applies immediately to pricing requests or accrues for later disbursement.
Modifier actions include discounting, adding surcharges, charging for shipping, or adjusting
price based on promotional pricing actions.

Modifiers

Modifiers
Modifiers are pricing actions that drive your pricing processes in addition to price lists,
formulas, and agreements. Modifiers can adjust net price either up or down. Modifier actions
include discounting, adding surcharges, charging for shipping, or adjusting price based on
promotional pricing actions.

Formulas

Formulas
When you attach a formula to a price list line, you typically do not enter a price for that line
because the pricing engine uses the formula to calculate the final list price of the product or
service. One exception is a formula that has a list price as Formula Type: in this case, you must
enter the list price (base price) for the formula to use in its calculations.

Attribute Management

Attribute Management
Advanced Pricing enables you to define pricing actions and rules by using price lists,
modifiers, qualifiers and formulas to define prices, price adjustments, and other pricing
features. When the pricing engine gets a pricing request, attribute management retrieves all
values for the qualifier and pricing attributes associated with the transaction. The pricing
engine evaluates these values to determine which price lists and modifiers are eligible for the
transaction. The data sources for the qualifiers and pricing attributes can be within Oracle
applications or from outside Oracle applications.

Description of Major Changes

Description of Major Changes
For new and experienced users of Advanced Pricing, the HTML user interface (UI) makes it
easier to create and maintain pricing entities. The UI that provides guided flows for setting up
price lists and for the modifier types of discount, surcharge, price break, and promotional
goods. In the modifier flow, the pricing components are logically grouped:
Controls
Product
Benefits
Qualifiers
For Qualifier and Pricing Attributes, you only need to define Attribute field instead of both
Context and Attribute.
The redesigned qualifiers flow makes it easier to create pricing rules.
You can review pricing entities before saving in the guided flows. The My Recently Created
view on the home page displays newly created Price Lists and Modifier Lists.

Set Profile Options

Set Profile Options
During implementation, you set values for profile options at various levels to specify how
Oracle Advanced Pricing controls access to and processes data. The system administrator sets
and updates profile values.
A Required profile option requires you to provide a value. An Optional profile option already
provides a default value, so you must change it only if you do not want to accept the default.
Key
SA: Site Level (System Administrator: Site Level): Option settings pertain to all users at an
installation site.
SA: App Level (System Administrator: Application Level): Option settings pertain to all
users of any responsibility associated with the application.
SA: Resp Level (System Administrator: Responsibility Level): Option settings pertain to
all users currently signed on under the responsibility.
SA: User Level (System Administrator: User Level): Option settings pertain to an
individual user, identified by their application username.

Perform System Sourcing

Perform System Sourcing
Default: Predefined Oracle Advanced Pricing record
The pricing engine uses request types to determine the source of pricing data to be used when
pricing a particular transaction. Request type is used to identify the type of transaction being
priced. Whenever the pricing engine prices a request, the request must be stamped with the
request type so the pricing engine can identify the type of transaction. The source system is
recorded on all price and modifier lists and is used to identify which application created this
pricing data.
Use the Pricing Transaction Entities Associations window to control which pricing data is used
to price transactions.
Perform this step for each source system you want to map to a request type.
Warning: Changing the system source code can severely affect pricing engine behavior.

Verify or Create PTE
The default is Order Fulfillment.
Request Types and Source Systems in the same PTE share pricing setup data. Additional
Source System and Request Types can be added to existing PTE's. There are very rare
instances where it is necessary to create a new PTE. A new PTE can be created only if the new
request type uses a different ordering structure and a different set of source systems that is not
already predefined.

Perform Attribute Management

Perform Attribute Management
The default is the predefined Oracle Advanced Pricing attribute mapping rules.
Oracle provides predefined rules for attribute mapping, for both qualifiers and pricing contexts,
that enable a list of values when selecting eligibility criteria.
Qualifier and pricing attribute mapping is required to supply a value for a qualifier or non-user
entered pricing attribute before pricing a transaction. A mapping rule is set up to derive the
value for the qualifier or pricing attribute from the transaction itself or from another attribute of
the transaction. Attribute mapping builds additional information about a transaction that can be
used to qualify for or derive a price, benefit, or charge for the transaction.
Attribute mapping includes rules that enable you to configure mapping to source qualifiers and
pricing attributes according to your business needs.
Attribute Management Process Flow
This diagram shows the relationships of the components of Attribute Management. Source
systems and Request types are for a given PTE which everyday users will not have to define.
You will define attributes for a given context and link that attribute to a PTE. For attributes
that have the mapping method of attribute mapping, users will have to define mapping rules.

Define Unit of Measure Conversions

Define Unit of Measure Conversions
Oracle Advanced Pricing uses these conversions to automatically convert transaction quantities
to the primary pricing unit of measure defined on the price list when pricing cannot find a price
in the transaction unit of measure.
In addition, all price adjustments, benefits, and charges need to be defined in the same unit of
measure as the unit of measure used on the price list.
For more information on defining unit of measure conversions, see Oracle Inventory Users
Guide, Defining Unit of Measure Classes.

Define Item Category Sets and Item Categories
Default: Seeded structure name of item categories, category set inventory items, and associated
default seeded category code combination MISC
You can set up multiple categories and multiple category sets.
You can create other item categories in the product attributes item context by creating a new
attribute in the item context and attaching a value set.
Note: The value set for the item category attributes uses the item categories defined in Oracle
Inventory. However, when the pricing entities are defined for a pricing entity PO, then item
categories are the ones defined in Purchasing.
For more information on defining item categories and item category sets, see Oracle Inventory
Users Guide, Defining Category Sets and Categories, and Oracle Application Flexfields
Users Guide, Key Flexfields in Oracle Applications, Item Categories Flexfield.
Perform this step if you have not installed and set up Oracle Inventory or performed a

an order would have. They were also used as a source for defaulting information on orders and
to establish certain processing controls, including invoicing controls. Order Types have been
replaced by Transaction Types in Order Management Release 11i. Both orders and lines have
transaction types. The transaction types determine what workflow the order and line will have

Receivables lets you define standard payment terms for your customers to specify the due date
and discount date for their open items. Payment terms can include a discount percent for early
payment and you can assign multiple discounts to each payment term line. For example, the
payment term 2% 10, Net 30 indicates that a customer is allowed a two percent discount if
payment is received within 10 days; after 10 days, the entire balance is due within 30 days of
the transaction date with no applicable discount. You can define proxima payment terms to pay
regular expenses such as telephone bills and credit card bills that occur on the same day each
month. You can also create split payment terms for invoice installments that have different due
dates.

If your pricing requires certain types of benefits at a particular point or event in the transaction
process flow, perform this step.
Events
An event represents a point in the order process flow at which the pricing engine is called to
return a base price, price adjustments, freight charges, promotions, benefits, etc. The following
outlines the functions which call each event:
PRICE event: Called after user enters item, quality, and unit of measure
LINE event: Called when the user exits the order line
ORDER event: Called when the user saves the order
BOOK event: Called when the user books the order
SHIP event: Called by OM after the order is ship confirmed , that is when the field
shipped_quantity on order line is updated with a value

REPRICE_LINE: An event which user can plug in into the work flow activity. It is seeded
in Pricing to take place after the order is shipped , but before the order is invoiced. This
event is going to take place after the SHIP event. But potentially user could set this up to
run any time during the workflow.
BATCH: Calls the engine and performs the PRICE, LINE and ORDER actions. For OM
the BATCH event is Order Import. Order Capture and iStore call the batch event directly.
Phases
A phase is a logical group of price actions executed in one call to the pricing engine.
Controls what Prices and Modifiers are considered by the search engine and in what sequence
they should be applied to the request.

Pricing Rules

Pricing Rules
In Release 11i of Oracle Advanced Pricing, the term pricing rules describes the rules-based
logic the pricing engine uses to apply a pricing action to a transactions.
Pricing rules are built around the customer and product hierarchies. Pricing policies are often
tied to the customer. Because customers belong to single or multi-level groups, Oracle
Advanced Pricing enables you to define rules that associate pricing actions with a group or
level of a group that a customer belongs to.
With Oracle Advanced Pricing you can define rules dependent on data other than the pricing
hierarchy. For example, discounts are often progressive-based on volume.
In Oracle Advanced Pricing, you set up pricing rules using the Qualifier window to describe
customer and non-product oriented rules. These qualifiers can be appended to pricing actions
(the product hierarchy definitions are contained in the action objects). For example, if a price
list calls for all items in item category A to be priced at $1.00, the product definition is setup as
part of the Price List window rather than using the Qualifier window. To specify the same price
list as usable only by the VIP customer class, specify the customer class in the Qualifier
window.

Pricing Actions

Pricing Actions
Pricing actions are specific pricing activities that the engine applies to transactions.
For example, the pricing engine can establish a list price by applying a price list action to an
order line. Similarly, discounts that lower the list price down to a net selling price are a
modifier action.
Oracle Advanced Pricing provides pricing actions that can be used to handle pricing problems.
Pricing Actions can be directly related to specific pricing windows:
Price lists
Agreements
Formulas
Modifiers
Modifiers are a class of pricing action that modifies the net price either up or down.
Modifiers are sometimes called adjustments. Modifiers have several types. Each of these
modifier types applies a specific pricing action with specific behavior characteristics.

Pricing Controls

Pricing Controls
Pricing controls are used to control how pricing applies actions. For example, effectivity dates
can be used to control when rules are in effect and when they are not. They can also be used to
define when an action that a rule points to can be applied.
Pricing also supports several other types of controls. For example, you can setup phases, which
are groups of pricing actions. You can then tie these phases to physical events in Order
Management. Incompatibility groups are another example of pricing controls. You can assign
modifiers to incompatibility groups such that only one modifier within an incompatibility
group can be selected by the pricing engine.
There are many different controls in pricing. All are important, but some require more careful
planning prior to implementation.

Pricing Extensibility

Pricing Extensibility
Pricing is often driven by customer factors, by trade customs, or by sales channel requirements.
Almost no two companies implement pricing in the same way, even if they compete in the
same industry.
To address this variability, Oracle Advanced Pricing is delivered with extensibility features
that enable you to extend, in a non-invasive, low-cost manner, its operation to meet your
business needs.
The extensibility features fall under two categories:

You can use attribute mapping to substitute an alternative source and structure for either the
product or customer hierarchy, rather than using those supplied as defaults when the product is
installed.
You can use attribute mapping to link Oracle Advanced Pricing to data maintained outside
Oracle Advanced Pricing and outside Oracle Applications. In addition to the customer and
product hierarchy related data mentioned, you can use attribute mapping to make pricing read a
currency rate from an external source used in a pricing formula computation.
Oracle Advanced Pricing, when licensed with Oracle Order Management, Oracle iStore, or
other Oracle products, provides you with defaults for the customer and product hierarchy and
other commonly referenced pricing rule drivers. These can be used without extending the
product.
For customers whose product or customer hierarchy is more complex, Oracle Advanced
Pricing provides flexible attribute mapping. This feature enables you to add or change levels of
the customer and product hierarchy from those that are delivered as seeded with the product.

APIs

APIs
Oracle Advanced Pricing delivers a set of APIs that you can leverage using your own code.
This enables you to significantly extend the use of Oracle Advanced Pricing.
One API used for this purpose is Get_Custom_Price. This API can be linked to a price list
using a formula with a term of type Function. You can use this API to make Oracle Advanced
Pricing obtain a cost from a purchase order that is used in a calculation that yields a selling
price based on actual cost.
Oracle Advanced Pricing APIs are documented in Oracle Manufacturing Open Interfaces and
API Manual. For users who want to write code for these APIs, a downloadable ARU is
available on Oracle Metalink that contains coding examples.

Basic Flow of Pricing

Basic Flow of Pricing
Oracle Advanced Pricing prices any transaction by first identifying a list price. Price lists
define a list price. Pricing determines whether the price found on the price list must be
adjusted. Modifiers control the price of these adjustments, and can modify price either up
(positive) or down (negative). Once the pricing engine has selected one or more modifiers that
adjust the price, it computes the final price or net selling price.

Methodology Steps

Methodology Steps
In analyzing pricing requirement prior to implementing Oracle Advanced Pricing, it is
important to consider that pricing terminology varies greatly across companies.
Terminology such as tiered pricing, block pricing, off-invoice, price ceilings, price floors, and
many others vary in their definition from one company to the next.
The best way to avoid misleading terminology is to insist that each term be decomposed down
to its underlying pricing action and the rules that define the precise conditions under which that
action is taken.

Chapter 2 - Page 48

To develop a pricing solution with Oracle Advanced Pricing, you must break down the pricing
requirements into their component parts.
Define Pricing Requirements
For example, customers in the Northeast Region may order any two digital widgets and
receive 10% off of either analog widget item ABC or DEF ordered at the same time. This is
a promotional discount given for orders received between October 1 and December 31.
Analyze Pricing Requirements
Break down the requirement into the underlying component pricing requirements. This is
accomplished through gathering enough information to precisely define the pricing action
itself, and the conditions under which this action is to be taken. Break down the preliminary
problem statement further:
Distinguish between the digital widgets and other widgets. Digital widgets are
discounted separately from analog widgets.
The pricing solution must allow for either 1 or 2 of each digital widget to qualify for the
free item.

The pricing solution model must allow for adding multiple lines to the order to allow
line 1 and 2 to be combined to equal the mix and match criteria.
The 10% discount is taken off the selling price.
Create Rule and Action Statements
The next step is to parse the pricing problem into rule and action statements. In other
words, what is the pricing action to be taken and under what conditions is that pricing
action to be taken. First define the action: Pricing action: Give a 10% discount taken off
normal selling price. This action statement is independent of customer, product, or dates.
Pricing rule: Discount action taken only for all customers in the Northeast Region.
Pricing rule: Discount action applied only to analog widgets with item numbers ABC or
DEF.
Pricing rule: Discount action taken only when analog widgets are ordered at the same
time as digital widgets.
Pricing rule: Discount action taken only for orders received between October 1 and
December 31.

Single or Multiple Currency Price Lists

Single versus Multiple Currency Price Lists
Oracle Advanced Pricing supports both single currency price lists and multiple currency price
lists. For single currency price lists, there is one currency defined per price list. For multi-
currency price lists, a Multiple Currency Conversion list is attached to the price list defining
multiple currencies and conversion factors and rules for converting prices.
It is very important to determine which price list strategy your organization supports.
Advanced Pricing provides a profile option and concurrent program to convert existing prices
lists from a Single Currency Price List to Multiple Currency price lists. However, once this
profile is enabled, and price lists are converted, users should not return to NON Multi-
Currency price lists. Changing the profile back to No may cause undesired results if conversion
criteria was used. Oracle does not support changing the setting back to No.
Single Currency Price Lists
Single Currency Price Lists are the default setting for Advanced Pricing. These are used
when your business requires that you maintain different prices for different currencies,
and there is no relationship between prices defined.

Multiple Currency Price Lists enables businesses that have pricing strategies based on a
single price for an item in a base currency and use exchange rates or formulas to
convert that price into the ordering currency. At engine run time, the pricing engine will
take the currency from the order and search for a price list(s) with base or conversion
currencies matching this currency. The pricing engine converts the price from the base
currency and calculates the ordering currency based upon the established conversion
rules.

Customer Hierarchy

Customer Hierarchy
Are the seeded context values on Oracle customer tables sufficient to contain customer
hierarchy?
When installed with Oracle Order Management, the customer hierarchy in Oracle
Advanced Pricing is seeded to roll up individual customers according to the following
structure, which is based on RA_Customer:
Customer name
Customer class
Site
Ship to
Bill to
Agreement name
Agreement type
GSA
Sales channel
Account type

If the seeded qualifier context values from the Oracle customer tables are adequate, then
attribute mapping for customer hierarchy is not necessary.
If the seeded qualifier context values from the Oracle customer tables are not sufficient, there
are two options for Release 11i. Both approaches require you to create attribute mapping to
inform pricing of the location of the customer hierarchy data elements you wish to reference in
pricing qualifiers. You must create a default sourcing rule for each qualifier attribute that you
define since the pricing engine uses sourcing rules to locate the attribute values. You can
expand your hierarchies by:
Using flexfields on customer table to hold flattened hierarchy
Using tables outside Oracle to house the customer hierarchy
When defining your customer hierarchy, the lowest level in your hierarchy has the lowest
flexfield segment sequence number. For example, the pricing engine must choose between a
price for an item negotiated with a specific customer and a price for the same item given to all
customers in a customer class. You want the engine to select the customer-specific price. Set
the customer qualifier as more specific than the customer class qualifier, and the engine will
select your desired price. This flattens your pricing hierarchy across the Qualifier descriptive
flexfield. Each hierarchy may be defined within a context or across contexts depending on how
many levels you have in your pricing hierarchies.

Trading Community Architecture (TCA) Attributes

Trading Community Architecture (TCA) Attributes
Oracle Advanced Pricing enables you to use certain customer TCA attributes as qualifier
attributes. Because modifiers can be set up based on TCA qualifier attributes, TCA qualifier
attributes must be derived from Oracle Order Management attributes before calling Oracle
Advanced Pricing. These attributes are seeded with the qualifier context as Customer context.
The seeded qualifier attributes are:
Party ID
Customer account ID (same as sold_to_org_id)
Ship to party site
Invoice to party site
Party ID, Ship to party site, and Invoice to party site are visible to Oracle Order Management
Users with Oracle Advanced Pricing even if they do not have Oracle Contracts. These
attributes can be used as qualifiers to derive price lists and modifiers. Information about party
ID, Ship to party site, and Invoice to party site are automatically derived by the sourcing rules.
Therefore, customers do not see this information in any of the Oracle Order Management
windows.

Product Hierarchy

Product Hierarchy
Product hierarchies are single- or multi-level groups to which a product may be associated
with. Pricing rules are structured around these groupings which then affect the pricing actions a
customer receives.
Each level in your product hierarchy where your business sets its pricing and discounting
should be defined as a product attribute in the seeded product context ITEM. Do this step after
you specify your requirements to take best advantage of the flexibility of Oracle Advanced
Pricing for managing pricing in your enterprise.
The product hierarchy in Oracle Advanced Pricing is seeded with ITEM context based on the
Oracle Applications Item Master, MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS table. For this context, the
flexibility of Oracle Advanced Pricing enables you to define your product hierarchy as follows:
Item number
Item category
Item All
Pricing attributes to specify a level more detailed than just item

When defining your product pricing hierarchy, the lowest level in your hierarchy has the
lowest flexfield segment sequence number. If the pricing engine must choose between an item
price and an item category price, set the item segment as more specific than the product group
segment. This flattens the pricing hierarchy in the item context of your Pricing Attribute
descriptive flexfield. Each level in your hierarchy at which you wish to manage pricing is
represented as a segment.

Item Categories and Category Sets

Item Categories and Category Sets
You must design and define any item categories and category sets for pricing and discounting.
If you use the seeded context values on the Item Master, you can use only the predefined item
categories context flexfield structure for the Item Categories Key flexfield within Oracle
Advanced Pricing.
However, you can change the default category code combination for the seeded inventory
category.
You are limited to the standard seeded item category structure only.
Oracle Advanced Pricing does not consider any new structures that you set up for your Item
Categories flexfield.

Pricing Attributes

Pricing Attributes
Creating pricing attributes in different contexts enables attributes to be grouped according to
their business. The item context is reserved for defining the product pricing hierarchy. Every
level in the product hierarchy at which pricing and discounting is set should be defined as a
segment in this context.
Key Implementation Decisions
Can I use seeded context values on the Oracle Item Master tables along with pricing attributes
to define my hierarchy?
This decision depends on whether the item/item category and pricing attributes define your
hierarchy (for levels above Item). If this is the case, attribute mapping is not necessary.
If the seeded context values are not sufficient, you have two options for Release 11i. Both
approaches require you create attribute mapping to establish these contexts. This enables
you to extend your product hierarchy.
Use flexfields on item table to hold the flattened hierarchy.
Use tables outside Oracle to house the product hierarchy.

Chapter 2 - Page 61
If Oracle Advanced Pricing is installed without Oracle Order Management or the standard
item master tables, you must define an alternative table structure location to support the
product hierarchy with new contexts and attributes. The table structure does not need to
reside within the Oracle Application tables.
Must I implement pricing attributes, multiple price lists, or both? What pricing and qualifier
attributes do I need, and how do I decide which is which?
Complex pricing scenarios can be best be solved with a combination of pricing attributes
and multiple price lists. Not only can a combination of the two be easier to understand and
maintain, but it can improve engine performance.
Pricing attributes further control what is being priced or modified on a price list or modifier
list. Each level in your product hierarchy should be defined as a pricing attribute in the
seeded context, item. You must create a default sourcing rule for each pricing attribute that
you define since the pricing engine uses sourcing rules to locate pricing attribute values.
For multiple price lists, qualifiers offer and/or capability as well as =, between, and not=
operators.
For example:
If you charge different list prices for the same item, depending on conditions in effect at
time of order, you can use pricing attributes.
If conditions are product oriented (example Item 123 Grade A is priced differently from
same item Grade B) then product attributes are indicated
If conditions are not product oriented, but depend on customers membership in
hierarchy or combination of customer and other factors like order type, time of day,
then multiple price lists are indicated.

Structuring Your Pricing Rules and Actions

Structuring Your Pricing Rules and Actions
What qualifier statements and groups do I need? What customer groupings are required in
order to develop qualifiers that implement my pricing rules? Which pricing actions are needed
to process my scenarios? What product groupings are needed for my pricing actions?
The structure of your customer and product hierarchies is crucial in setup and
implementation of Oracle Advanced Pricing, because these are the main sources of your
pricing rules.
Qualifiers are the primary window structure within pricing where you define the rules that
determine which pricing actions are applied to a transaction. Although a qualifier can be
used for any pricing rule, the qualifier window is generally used to define pricing rules
related to attributes defined the customer hierarchy or to other elements not related to the
product hierarchy. Although you emphasized that the product hierarchy is basic for pricing
rules when you set up Oracle Advanced Pricing, you normally define the product hierarchy
rule as part of the setup of the specific action.
When you implement Oracle Advanced Pricing, think in terms of structure for your pricing
actions and qualifiers used to select those actions.

Establishing Pricing Controls

Establishing Pricing Controls
Must I implement incompatibility groups? How do I structure them?
Must I use Oracle Advanced Pricings exclusivity feature?
Exclusivity enables you to specify a modifier that, if selected by the pricing engine, is the
only modifier applied to a transaction.
Do I instruct Oracle Advanced Pricing to use precedence or best price to decide between
incompatible modifiers?
Oracle Advanced Pricing offers two methods to choose between incompatible modifiers:
precedence and best price. Precedence is the usually the best choice.
Must I implement GSA Pricing?
GSA pricing enables you to establish a floor level price. It is used to comply with General
Services Administration Pricing rules. GSA pricing operates as an integration with Oracle
Order Management.
Must I use multiple pricing buckets? If so how many levels do I need?
Pricing Buckets give you the capability to handle discounts with multiple subtotals.

Chapter 2 - Page 64
Do the seeded pricing phase/Oracle Order Management event relationships work or must I
reconfigure them?
Pricing modifiers and price lists must be associated with a specific pricing phase identifier.
This enables application invoking the pricing engine to specify the phase identifier, which
in turn guides the pricing engine to select only qualified pricing actions that set up in the
phase. In Oracle Order Management, the integration with prices ties certain physical events
in the order processing cycle to specific phases. This gives order management the
capability to specify particular pricing phases to the engine. The mapping of pricing phases
to order management events can be configured by the user.
What effectivity dates must I establish?
Oracle Advanced Pricing provides very extensive effectivity dating capabilities. When the
pricing engine is invoked by a calling application such as Order Management, it is passed a
pricing date. The engine uses this date as a reference point to compare to effectivity dates
found on various pricing windows. The pricing date can be defaulted in Oracle Order
Management.
What unit of measure considerations are necessary for Oracle Advanced Pricing setup?
If the Pricing engine attempts to determine a base price for a transaction, then the engine
attempts to search qualified price lists for a price in the unit of measure that is in
transaction line to be priced. If the engine finds such a UOM, the transaction UOM
becomes the pricing unit of measure. If that search is not successful, the engine searches for
a conversion factor to convert the UOM on the incoming transaction to the primary UOM
on the price list line. The pricing engine returns only those modifiers defined in the same
unit of measure as the pricing unit of measure, or where there is no product UOM
specified. The latter may be the case if the modifier is not product specific. Verify that all
modifiers and price lists used together have common units of measure. Verify that if the
unit of measure on the price list and modifier is different from the ordering UOM, that a
conversion factor has been set up.
Do I want to control spending of Promotions?
Promotional Limits functionality enables you to set maximum values for benefits that a
customer can receive for a promotion, deal or other modifier. By limiting the amount of a
benefit that can be received, you can keep promotional spending within budget and prevent
promotion budget overruns.

Defining Unit of Measure

Defining Unit of Measure
You must define unit of measure in order to use Oracle Advanced Pricing.
UOM is used to:
Price or discount items
Give non-monetary accruals as benefits
You must define a UOM class and UOM that represent your non-monetary accruals
The profile option QP: Accrual UOM Class should be set to the UOM class that you
define
Define qualifier rules that include the seeded qualifiers line volume or line weight
Defining unit of measure is not necessary if you have already installed and setup Oracle
Inventory, or if you performed this common applications setup for another Oracle product.

Defining Unit of Measure Conversions

Defining Unit of Measure Conversions
To price and discount an item in a different (not primary) UOM, you must define the
conversion rates between the base and other UOMs within the class.
Oracle Advanced Pricing uses these rates to automatically convert transaction quantities to the
primary pricing UOM.
All price adjustments, benefits, and charges need to be defined in the same unit of measure as
on the price list.
This step is not necessary if you have already installed and setup Oracle Inventory or
performed this common applications setup for another Oracle product. For more information,
see: Oracle Inventory Users Guide, Defining Unit of Measure Conversions.

Chapter 2 - Page 68
Primary UOM Versus Pricing UOM

Primary UOM Example
The list line UOM is a required element of the validation process. The pricing request is for an
Item/UOM and only price lists that have the same item and unit of measure will be considered.
You can have the same item on the same price list if they have different units of measures. If
your selling prices vary depending on the unit of measure this is how you will want to set up
your price lists.
Example: Price List setup: BB-2100 at $6.00 each, and BB-2100 at $66.00 a Dozen. Sales
Order request: BB-2100 1 dozen. Result: $66.00 unit price.
If you sell products in multiple units of measure because of the convenience of packaging and
not because of a price break you will want to use the Primary UOM feature. This will enable
you to enter one price list line that can be used to sell in any UOM conversion that has been set
up in Inventory.
If you have the Primary UOM checked and you enter an item/unit of measure combination on
a sales order that is not on a price list the pricing engine converts the unit of measure on the
order to the items primary UOM and then uses the UOM conversions to calculate the unit
price. O

Cross Order Volume Loader

Cross Order Volume Loader
When running the cross order volume loader you may specify that the load run for one
operating unit.
If specified as null, it summarizes for all operating units for which there are orders (assuming
there is a multi-org install). If loading for multiple operating units, each summary is within an
operating unit.
Cross Order Volume Based Modifiers
Pricing engine supports cross order based volume modifiers. These modifiers are setup with
pricing or qualifier attributes that are operating unit specific. These are seeded attribute
mapping rules under the Order Fulfillment PTE. Examples for pricing attributes are Period1
Item Quantity and Period1 Item Amount.
There is a concurrent program cross order volume loader which looks into the Order
Management tables for the order information and sums up cross order volume total for the a
given operating unit and populates the OM tables OE_ITEM_CUST_VOLS_ALL and
OE_ITEM_CUST_VOLS_ALL. This concurrent program needs to be run from time to time.

Chapter 2 - Page 74
Also, the seeded attribute mapping rules get the cross order volume total for specific attributes
from the OM cross order volume tables. The pricing engine qualifies the request lines for
modifiers based on cross order volume attribute value the build_contexts API returns.
Note: Only "Booked" orders are picked up by the concurrent program.
If the calling application is using a new request_type_code or a different global structure, then
they need to do the following to make the pricing engine work for cross order volume based
discounts:
1. Write a concurrent program to populate the cross order volume total into the above tables
or new tables for each cross order volume attribute used in the modifier setup.
2. Write attribute mapping rules to extract the cross order volume total for each cross order
volume attribute used in modifier setup.

Testing Your Pricing Solutions

Testing Your Pricing Solutions
1. If you upgraded from Release 10.7 or 11 to Release 11i, and are running Oracle
Advanced Pricing in Basic Mode with upgraded data, establish a separate test instance of
your system and do your testing there.
2. Verify that you tested each scenario. Develop a documented script for each scenario that
describes the setup and expected result, and then gives a step by step outline.
3. Begin with simple scenarios, and then work your way up to more complex ones.
4. Verify that you receive your expected numerical results.
5. For additional information on debugging and troubleshooting, See the Technical
Troubleshooting section of this manual for assistance.
6. For performance related problems, see Appendix B, "Optimal Performance."
7. Once your setups work in your test environment, you can begin replicating these setups
into your production environment. Verify that the price list and modifier flags are set to
inactive. Select beginning effectivity dates with caution, so as to avoid premature pricing
engine use of new setups for pricing production transactions.

Incompatibility Groups
Incompatibility Groups allow the user to define which modifiers cannot be applied to a request
line with which other modifiers, i.e. are incompatible, and which modifiers cannot be applied
to a request line with any other modifier, i.e. are exclusive.
All modifiers in a Phase which are incompatible should be assigned to the same
Incompatibility Groups, LVL1 - LVL3, and any modifier in a Phase which is exclusive should
be placed in the EXCL - Exclusive Group.
Users may define additional incompatibility groups, but only the seeded EXCL -Exclusive
group is treated as incompatible with ALL.

Pricing Events

Pricing Events
A point in the process flow of the transaction system/calling application at which a call is made
to the Pricing Engine (analogous to a Workflow Event).
The following seeded lookup codes are for Oracle Order Management integration with pricing;
each event represents a stage in the order cycle at which pricing is performed. The information
returned by pricing; base prices, price adjustments, promotions, freight charges, etc. depends
on the pricing phases which are processed for this event.
Note: In this release it is not possible to create new pricing events.

Pricing Buckets

Pricing Buckets
You can use pricing buckets to control the application order of price adjustments and
retrospective discounts (such as accruals). The sequence of how these modifiers are applied
becomes important when the adjustment or accrual value is derived from the selling price (the
price resulting from applying prior price adjustments) rather than the list price. This is known
as discounts-on-discounts or "cascading discounts." The pricing adjustment bucket that you
assign the modifier (such as Pricing Adjustments Bucket 1 or Pricing Adjustments Bucket 2)
determines the order the calculation engine will apply the modifiers.
You can assign all price adjustments and retrospective discounts to a pricing bucket; all
modifiers in a bucket are additive, that is, the adjustment amount for all modifiers in a bucket is
calculated off the final selling price, or subtotal of the previous bucket.
You can add additional pricing buckets if you require further subtotals or cascading of
modifiers. A pricing bucket number of 0 is reserved for base price calculation.

Request Type

Request Type
A Request Type indicates to the pricing engine the type of transaction being priced. This is
important to pricing, as the engine will use this information to only consider data created
specifically to price this particular type of transaction.
The following seeded lookup codes are for Oracle Order Management integration with pricing.
Any application which wishes to use Oracle Pricing should create a request type lookup code
to identify their transaction.

Source System

Source System
The Source System identifies the origin of the pricing data. The pricing engine uses this
information to restrict its search to pricing information which originated from a particular
application depending on the Request Type to Source System setup.
Any application that wants to setup create pricing information should create a source system
lookup code to identify their pricing data.

OM: Promotion Limit Violation

OM: Promotion Limit Violation
This system level profile option determines the hold action Order Management will take when
encountering a initial promotional hold returned by the pricing engine. If the pricing engine
returns a possible promotional hold for an order or order line, Order Management will use the
value of this profile option to determine the course of action for the order or line. Messages are
generated and can be viewed within the Process Messages Window.
Select from:
Place holds where violated (either Line or Order): If the pricing engine returns an initial
promotional hold, place a hold for the corresponding order or order line.
No holds applied: If the pricing engine returns an initial promotional hold, do not apply a hold
for either an order or order line. Allow the order or order line to continue processing within its
associated workflow.
Place order on hold when any violation occurs (both Line and Order): If the pricing engine
returns an initial promotional hold, irrespective of the hold level, place the order on hold, in
addition to any order lines that may be marked for promotional hold.
This profile option is optional, and the default is Null.

QP: Get Custom Price Customized

QP: Get Custom Price Customized
Indicates if, when processing formulas, the pricing engine evaluates the line type function. If
your organization wants to use this formula line type, you must:
Customize the GET_CUSTOM_PRICE function.
Set this profile option to Yes.
Values
Yes: When processing formulas, the pricing engine evaluates the line type function. This
profile option must be set as Yes if the package body for QP_CUSTOM is coded.
No: When processing formulas, the pricing engine does not evaluate the line type function.
This profile option can only be updated at the site level.
This profile is required if your business needs more pricing formulas than are provided in basic
pricing.
A pricing formula consists of a formula expression (mathematical expression) consisting of
step-numbers and formula lines that correspond to each step-number in the formula expression.
Each formula line associates with a formula line type. There are six formula line types in
Oracle Advanced Pricing (three in basic pricing). One type is function.

Oracle Advanced Pricing provides a function called Get_Custom_Price with a standard set of
input parameters. The user is provided the flexibility of writing any custom code in the
function body and use the input parameters supplied by the pricing engine. The value returned
by the Get_Custom_Price function can be used in a formula expression.
To use the customized Get_Custom_Price functions return value in a formula, the user must
set up a formula with a line type of function (the formula may or may not have other formula
lines).
The Get_Custom_Price function can be used in any number of formulas at the same time
because the formula ID is an input parameter to the function and assists the user differentiate
code logic.

QP: Limit Exceed Action

QP: Limit Exceed Action
Default value: Hard - Adjust Benefit Amount
This profile option defines the default action codes for promotion and modifier limits. It
specifies the action for the pricing engine if a pricing request exceeds a promotional limit.
This profile option is based on the lookup type Limit Exceed Action.
Values
Soft - Full Benefit Amount: Applies the full benefit to the order even if the transaction
exceeds the defined limit.
Hard - Adjust Benefit Amount: Adjusts the order benefit amount so that the order meets but
does not exceed the promotional limit. A status message is sent to the calling application
such as Order Management to place a promotional hold on the order.
This profile option is visible and can be updated at the site level using the System
Administrator responsibility.

QP: Line Volume UOM Code

Required if your business must define qualifier rules which include the seeded qualifier line
volume.
Specifies the unit of measure of the line volume qualifier. The attribute sourcing API converts
the item on the request line to its primary UOM, then uses the volume attributes of the item to
derive the line volume of the item in the UOM specified in the profile option.
Order Volume:
The Order Weight qualifier is calculated as the total volume of all the order lines for the order.
In order to use this qualifier the following must be set up:
1. The profile QP: Line Volume UOM Code, must be set to the correct volume UOM code.
This UOM code is the UOM for the total order volume.
2. There must be a UOM conversion set up to convert from the ordered UOM for each order
line to the volume UOM specified in the profile. For example if line 1 of your order is in
Ea and the profile is set to CBM, there must be a conversion set up from Ea to CBM for the
item.

QP: Line Weight UOM Code

This is required if your business needs to define qualifier rules which include the seeded
qualifier line weight.
Specifies the unit of measure of the line weight qualifier. The attribute sourcing API converts
the item on the request line to its primary UOM, and then uses the weight attributes of the item
to derive the line weight of the item in the UOM specified in this profile option.
The Order Weight qualifier is calculated as the total weight of all the order lines for the order.
In order to use this qualifier the following must be set up:
1. The profile QP: Line Weight UOM Code must be set to the correct weight UOM code.
This UOM code is the UOM for the total order weight.
2. There must be a UOM conversion set up to convert from the ordered UOM for each order
line to the weight UOM specified in the profile. For example if line 1 of your order is in
KGM and the profile is set to LBS, there must be a conversion set up from KGM to LBS
for the item.

QP: Multi-Currency Installed

QP: Multi Currency Installed
Once the profile option is set to Yes, the concurrent program Update Price Lists with Multi-
Currency Conversion Criteria must be run to enable the price list windows for multi-currency
usage.
Once the concurrent program has been run successfully, all existing price list and agreement
windows are converted to multi-currency price lists. Users should not return to NON multi-
currency price lists. Changing the profile option back to No may cause undesired results if
conversion criteria have been used. Oracle does not support changing the setting back to No.
The program must be run initially only once to activate the multi-currency feature; otherwise,
data corruption may result.
Values
Yes: If the profile QP: Multi-Currency-Installed is Yes, the incoming pricing request will
send order currency, pricing date, product attributes, pricing attributes and qualifier
attributes. The pricing engine matches the order currency with the price list's Base
Currency or Conversion Criteria To-Currency
No: When the profile QP: Multi-Currency-Installed is No, the order currency is matched
with the price list base currency, which is the current behavior.

QP: Price Rounding

QP: Price Rounding
This profile option controls how the value for the rounding factor is derived and how it is used
in price lists; for example, Price List Rounding Factor, Currency Precision or none. The
Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window rounds, stores, and displays the list price after applying
the Precision/Rounding Factor based on the profile option setting.
The Round To value in the Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window cannot be updated if the
profile option is set to Enforce Currency Precision. Also, allowed values for rounding factor
will be limited to the price list currency precision.
The Rounding Factor value entered in the price list is used to store the rounded value. For
storing and Currency Precision for displaying list price.
Values
Blank (Default): If this option is selected, the following occurs:
No limit is imposed on the number of places that can be entered on the price list after the
decimal point.
The value for a price list line is not rounded.

The list price that displays will not be rounded by either Currency Precision or the Round
To value.
Static formula calculation results will not be rounded.
The Round To value specified for the price list rounds the pricing engine results.
Enforce Price List Rounding factor: If this option is selected, the value entered in the Round To
field of the Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window is used for:
Rounding the value on the price list line.
Rounding the pricing engine calculation results.
Calculating the results for static formula calculations.
The currency precision setting determines the display of the list price.
Enforce Currency Precision: If selected, the Rounding Factor field on the price list cannot be
updated by the user. Instead the Rounding Factor value defaults from the profile QP: Unit Price
Precision Type (either Standard/Extended precision) for the price list currency. The decimal
places that display for the list price is determined by the Currency Precision.
Formula Prices For dynamic formulas, the calling application passes the rounding factor and
the resulting rounding factor displays regardless of the profile setting.

QP: Pricing Transaction Entity

QP: Pricing Transaction Entity
This profile option indicates the current Pricing Transaction Entity (PTE) in use. Only those
contexts and attributes assigned to the current Pricing Transaction Entity will be available in
the list of values on the setup windows. Likewise, querying up setup data for price list lines,
modifiers, and qualifiers, etc. will cause the description to be shown only for those contexts
and attributes that are assigned to the current Pricing Transaction Entity. Therefore, it is
important to set this profile option to the correct value before creating or querying any setup
data in the pricing application.
It is not a good idea to changes this profile often as you will see the other context-attributes
combinations for a different PTE when querying on the pricing setup windows. If this happens,
you will see the internal ID code.
This profile can be set at the site, application, and user levels.
Values
The valid values for this profile are all the Pricing Transaction Entities that belong to QP
Lookup type QP_PTE_TYPE.
The seeded value of this profile are:

QP: Qualify Secondary Price Lists

QP: Qualify Secondary Price Lists
This profile option enables secondary price lists to be checked for qualifiers when the primary
price list is not validated. It determines if a price list item from a non-validated line can be
selected from the related secondary price list.
For example, suppose you have distributors who can only buy certain product families.
Without qualifiers being checked on secondary lists, you must create one price list for each
possible combination of product family. With this profile change, you can have a single parent
price list with multiple secondary price lists, each for a product family with a qualifier that
identifies the distributor by name or type.

QP: Return Manual Discounts

QP: Return Manual Discounts
A modifier can be applied to the order automatically at the time of pricing or can be returned to
the calling application (Oracle Order Management) and stored in price adjustments table, so
that users can choose adjustments to be applied on the order line.
The following modifiers types can be manual:
Discounts
Surcharges
Price break lines
Freight Charges
Manual modifiers can be set at all levels (line, group of lines, and order), and always be in the
null bucket. Manual adjustments can be overrideable.
Values
Yes: In basic pricing, Yes is the default and should not be changed (this duplicates R11
functionality). One automatic discount is applied. All manual discounts are returned for
user selection. All the automatic discounts that are deleted as part of incompatibility
processing return as manual discounts available for user selection.

QP: Source System Code

QP: Source System Code
This profile option is used in all pricing setup windows to identify the application through
which the pricing information is being entered. This source system code is held on all price and
modifier lists to identify the origin of the data. At the time of pricing, the pricing engine may
restrict its search to pricing information which originated from a particular application
depending on the request type to source system setup.
The default for the profile option QP_SOURCE_SYSTEM_CODE is Oracle Pricing at the Site
level. However, to differentiate between applications and prevent update of modifiers among
several applications, the value of this profile can be set up at the Application level.
If modifiers are created in different applications such as Oracle Advanced Pricing, Order
Management, or Trade Management, then changes to the modifier can only be made in the
application where the modifier was originally created. These changes include changes to the
modifier header (as deleting is already prevented) or changes such as inserting, updating, or
deleting modifier lines, pricing attributes, and qualifiers.
If you do not want to differentiate between applications or prevent update of modifiers created
by different applications, then no specific setup is required. In this case, all modifiers are

QP: Time UOM Conversion

QP: Time UOM Conversion
Default value: Standard
This profile option enforces the unit of measure (UOM) conversion for price lists when the
Primary UOM box in a price list is selected. For example, suppose that in a price list, the UOM
selected is EA (each) and that the Primary UOM box is selected. (The primary UOM in the
price list could be different from the primary UOM set in Oracle Inventory for the item.)
If an order line is entered with the unit of measure as Dozen, the pricing engine would convert
the order quantity to EA and provide a price in EA. This occurs only if no eligible price lists
are found with Dozen as the unit of measure. To do the conversion, Advanced Pricing uses the
inventory UOM conversion APIs.
As for time periods, the inventory UOM conversion holds a static conversion factor of 30 days
per month. Since days are set as the base UOM, one year is converted to 12.16666 months by
the inventory UOM APIs. This result is obtained by dividing 365 days by 30 days rather than
one year being converted to 12 months.
Values
Standard: When set to Standard, the existing method of passing the UOM quantity to the
pricing engine API can be used by the calling applications.

Oracle Contracts: When set to Oracle Contracts, the pricing engine use the APIs provided
by Oracle Contracts to convert the date and time. To use the "Oracle Contracts" API to do
the UOM conversion, following values from each request line processed need to be passed
by the calling applications (such as Order Management, Order Capture or Oracle Contracts)
to the pricing engine:
Period Start/End Dates
Ordered UOM (Time UOM in which the price needs to be
fetched)

QP: Valueset Lookup Filter
Use this profile option to enable or disable a search criteria window for qualifier value lookups
in qualifiers, price lists, and modifiers. Some qualifiers use large valuesets, for example, those
based on all customers, and searches may take a long time. If you want to reduce the number of
items that display in the list of values, you can enter search criteria. If you do not enter search
criteria and click the list of values indicator for the fields Value From or Value To, you see a
window which advises that you have not entered search criteria and that the search may take a
long time.
Values
Yes: The message displays.
No: The message does not display. Use this value if you do not expect to have large
qualifier valuesets and do not need to enter search criteria to reduce the display.

Change the default value to Yes if you require GSA pricing functionality. This profile option
indicates whether the pricing calculation engine should test for GSA violations. The evaluation
is performed if a request is for a non-GSA customer, and GSA rules are violated because the
selling price of an item is calculated to be less than the price of the item on any GSA price list.
Values
Yes: Pricing calculation engine tests for GSA violations; any violating request lines are
returned to the calling application with GSA violation status.

Overview

Overview
Pricing does not use the Oracle Multiple Organization structure, so all pricing entities can be
used across all operating units when pricing orders. This may present a problem to some users
with a single installation of Oracle Applications whose business process requires a level of
security across organizations.
Oracle Advanced Pricing provides centralized control for pricing entity data security and the
flexibility to enforce pricing security policy of an entire business enterprise.

Levels of Pricing Security

Currently, users with the Oracle Pricing Manager responsibility, have functional security
access to view, create, and update pricing entities and do all functions available in Oracle
Pricing Manager. Their access is not restricted; however, they cannot update pricing entities
created by users with the second security level (PTE plus Source System Code Security).

PTE + Source System Code level Security
Some pricing entities are created through integration with other applications that create their
own price lists etc. in the Advanced Pricing windows such as Trade Management or Inventory.
Functional security is only limited by the added security provided by Pricing Transaction
Entity (PTE) plus Source System Code. This provides a higher security level than functional
security. With this level, you can update (maintain) only those pricing entities that match your
Source system code.
Functional security users have only view access to the pricing entities created by another
source system.

You can use Pricing Security to enforce the pricing security policy of an entire business
enterprise by controlling both pricing setup and pricing execution security requirements.
Pricing Security enables you to secure users' access to pricing data and pricing related order
data so that ONLY the users with the appropriate access level privilege can update and view
the pricing entities.
Pricing Security is a higher level that sits on top of functional security and PTE + Source
System Code based on the security rules granted by the Oracle Pricing Administrator.
Functional user access is restricted to the roles granted to them.

Step 1: Mapping Security Requirements

Step 1: Mapping Security Requirements
Completely map all pricing security requirements for the entire installation:
List all Price Lists, Modifiers, and Pricing Agreements with header detail.
Operating Units
Decide which ones belong to which Operating Units
Decide which are to be used across all Operating Units
Decide which are to be restricted to one Operating Unit
Identify all Operating Units
Identify all Responsibilities that have or will have access to pricing entities
Identify all pricing users with Functional Access to Advanced Pricing Menu
All pricing entities are first identified and then mapped to different grantee types according to
the requirements. For example, a pricing agreement can be mapped to an operating unit so only
the users of that operating unit can view and update the pricing agreement.

Step 2: Assign Existing Pricing Entities to Operating Units (Entity
Usage)

Step 2: Assign Existing Pricing Entities to Operating Units (Entity Usage)
The global_flag is set to Y for all existing price lists and modifiers which enables all
Operating Units to use the price list and modifiers. (This provides current existing functionality
to all customers.)
You can use the new security functionality to restrict the pricing entities (pricelist/modifiers) to
a specific Operating Unit (OU).
Once you decide to use the new security functionality to restrict their pricelist/modifiers to a
specific OU, the customer will need to change global_flag to No and update the OU
information associated to the pricelist/modifier using pricing security. You can clear the Global
check box flag on the price list window one by one; alternately, use the Bulk Update feature in
pricing security to make changes to multiple entities.

Step 3: Create Privileges for Existing Pricing Entities

Step 3: Create Privileges for Existing Pricing Entities
Security privileges determine whether the user can view or maintain the selected pricing entity.
If the user can view or maintain the pricing entity, it will be listed in the search list of values
(LOV), otherwise, it will not be listed. The user can select the pricing entity from the LOV,
then the selected pricing entity will be displayed in view-only mode or updatable-mode based
on security privileges.

Step 4: Set up Default Security Profile Options

Step 4: Set up Default Security Profile Options
The default security profiles provide default security settings for new pricing entitiesthey do
not change the behavior of existing pricing entities.
QP: Security Default ViewOnly Privilege: Controls the default view-only privileges for
NEWLY CREATED price lists and modifiers. View and maintain responsibilities are
controlled separately by different profile options. This profile option enables you to set
view-only privileges at one of the following levels: Global (Default), Operating Unit,
Responsibility, User, or None. This controls which users (if any) can view newly-created
price lists and modifiers.
QP: Security Default Maintain Privilege: Controls the default maintain privileges for
NEWLY CREATED price lists and modifiers. For example, if the profile option is set to
Operating Unit, then the maintain privileges for that price list or modifier are restricted to
the pricing users of the operating unit where the price list or modifier was created. This
profile option enables you to set maintain privileges at one of the following levels: Global
(Default), Operating Unit, Responsibility, User, or None.

Security for Operating Units

Security for Operating Units
Since pricing does not use the Oracle Multiple Organization structure, all pricing entities can
be used across all operating units when pricing orders. This may present a problem for some
users with a single installation of Oracle Applications and whose business process requires a
level of security across organizations.

Entity Usage

Entity Usage
Pricing security feature adds the Owned by Operating Unit information to newly created
pricing entities of Price List and Modifiers.

At run-time, when the pricing engine is called, the engine returns the price lists and modifiers
owned by the operating unit making the request, and the pricing entities with 'Global' Entity
Usage selected.
A Global check box in the header of the price list and modifier windows (which is selected by
default), means that the new entity can be used across all operating units for pricing orders. If
the user who created the pricing entity deselects the Global box in the price list or modifier
header, then that entity's usage is restricted to the operating unit of that user. A default
maintain privilege is granted for that OU and to users depending on the default settings of new
profiles.

Creating Privileges
This feature enables you to restrict pricing data to only those user(s) for whom the data is
relevant; for example, restricting one operating unit from viewing and using the pricing data
of another operating unit.
There may be geographical reasons or business reasons for keeping specific customer pricing
data from being seen by users who deal with a competing customer. In a large global
installation, or within a specific operating unit, a business may have customers who require
that their data not be visible to sales managers and others who also call on their competitor.
No matter the circumstance, a security rule can be defined and access privileges restricted to
support those rules.

Security Implementation Steps Setting up Default Security
Profile Options

Security Implementation Steps Setting up Default Security Profile Options
Key to success is to NOT Turn the Security Control on until mapping has been completed.
The following security profile options provide the default values for newly-created pricing
entities ONLY (not entities that already have been created):
QP: Security Default ViewOnly Privilege: This profile option enables you to set the
view-only privileges at one of the following grantee levels: Global (Default), Operating
Unit, Responsibility, User, or None. This controls which users (if any) can view newly-
created price lists and modifiers.
QP: Security Default Maintain Privilege: For example, if the profile option is set to
Operating Unit, then the maintain privileges for that price list or modifier are restricted to
the pricing users of the operating unit where the price list or modifier was created. This
profile option enables you to set maintain privileges at one of the following levels: Global
(Default), Operating Unit, Responsibility, User, or None.
For existing pricing entities, use the Privileges window to change the access privileges. The
two defaulting privilege creation profiles have no effect on the behavior of existing
pricing entities. If more than one privilege is related to the same entity, then a user

After the Security Upgrade: Impact of Changes

After the Security Upgrade: Impact of Changes
Changes made to existing pricing windows: When pricing security is turned on, a Global
check box is added to selected pricing widows (such as price lists). This enables you to
decide if the pricing entity is available across all operating units when pricing orders.
Changes to price lists: A price list with the Global check box selected is accessible to all
operating units, even though it may be assigned to a specific operating unit. If a price list
is copied, it is assigned the default privileges from the pricing security options.
Changes to Modifier windows: A modifier with Global Usage assigned to it is accessible
to all operating units, even though it may be assigned to a specific operating unit. After
pricing security is turned on, the default view and update properties for modifiers are
determined by the pricing security profile options.

This diagram shows where you can add qualifiers in the guided steps for creating a price list or
modifier list in the HTML UI:
1. In the first step, enter the general information for the list such as the name, currency, and
description.
2. In the second step, assign the list qualifiers by attaching an existing qualifier group, or
creating new qualifiers.
3. In the last step, review the list details before saving and creating the list lines. Using the
guided flow model, you can identify the stage you are in the creation flow.

Creating Line Qualifiers in Creation Flow (HTML UI)

Creating Line Qualifiers in Creation Flow (HTML UI)
Now lets move on to the modifier line create flow. The modifier line flow consists of the
following guided steps:
1. Controls page: On this page, you will define pricing parameters such as when the pricing
adjustment/benefit will be applied (pricing phase and incompatibility group), how to apply
the adjustment (automatic and override flag), and calculation parameters (pricing bucket).
2. The next step are the Product and Benefit pages. Depending on the modifier line type, these
pages may be on a single page or two separate pages. On the Product page, you can define
what product can receive the benefit. You can further specify any pricing attributes or
volume requirements (if applicable) for your product.
3. The next step is to define the benefit. This may be the discount or surcharge adjustment,
free good products, or price break.
4. After defining the benefit, you can either add line qualifiers to the modifier by assigning
existing qualifier groups or add qualifiers.
5. On the last page of the flow, review all your setup before saving the line.
Note: You can also add, update, or delete qualifiers for an existing modifier line

Typical Qualifier Setup (HTML UI)

Typical Qualifier Setup (HTML UI)
A qualifier may consist of multiple qualifier conditions which are joined by AND conditions.
A Common qualifier contains mandatory conditions that must be met first before the other
qualifier conditions are considered. You can define a Common Qualifier by selecting a check
box on the Create or Update Qualifier pages. The Common qualifier was also known as the -
1 or null qualifier in previous releases.
Unique qualifiers consist of multiple qualifier conditions that are joined together by AND
conditions within the qualifier. Unique qualifiers, that is multiple unique qualifiers created for
the same modifier or price list, are joined by OR conditions. In the example on this slide, a
customer can only get this list or line if the customer name is Business World, Order type is
Standard, and the order amount is between 1,000-15,000 OR the customer name is Business
World and the price list is Corporate.
In the HTML interface, you do not have to enter the context and attribute to define a qualifier.
Now, you can just enter the qualifier attribute and the context will default afterwards.

Example of Qualifier Hierarchy
You can set up hierarchies using qualifier contexts and attributes. The following table
illustrates a hierarchy with 3 different levels of qualifier attributes. This hierarchy can be stored
by creating a context such as Geography. Under this context, you could define three attributes,
such as State, Territory, and Customers.

Common Qualifiers (HTML UI)

Common Qualifiers (HTML UI)
A Common qualifier enables you to make a qualifier a mandatory condition across all
qualifiers for a price list or modifier.
For example, suppose you wanted to give a 10% discount with the following qualifying
conditions.
Qualifier 1: Customer is "Preferred" status.
OR
Qualifier 2: Customers must order more than $150 from your web site.
So far the customer can receive the discount if their status is Preferred OR if they order more
than $150 from your web site. However, suppose you wanted to make a mandatory condition
that the customer must pay by Credit Card.
To do this, you must set up a Common Qualifier where the payment method = Credit Card.
Common Qualifier: Payment method is Credit Card
This makes it a mandatory condition across all qualifiers. This means that either Qualifier 1
OR Qualifier 2 could qualify but regardless, the payment method must be Credit Card.

Qualifier Grouping Number

Qualifiers Grouping Number
Order Management Super User Responsibility
(N) Pricing > Price Lists > Price List Setup (T) Qualifiers (B) Copy Group
When you attach qualifier groups, you are attaching all of the qualifiers in the qualifier group.
The qualifier grouping number is important when you attach multiple qualifiers because it
indicates to the pricing engine how to evaluate the qualifiers:
Qualifiers with the same grouping number are evaluated as a boolean AND condition (an
entity must meet all of the conditions to qualify).
Qualifiers with different grouping numbers are evaluated as a boolean OR condition (an
entity must meet one of the conditions to qualify).
Before you attach multiple qualifier groups, you must indicate how the process should
coordinate the grouping numbers. You select one of the following grouping number options:
Retain Grouping Numbers Across Qualifier Groups: The grouping numbers of each
attached qualifier remains as it appears in its qualifier group. In this case, the collection of
attached qualifiers does not mirror the AND and OR combinations within each of the
original qualifier groups.

Chapter 4 - Page 22
Generate Unique Grouping Numbers Across Qualifier Groups: The process maintains the
AND and OR combinations within each of the original qualifier groups and then create OR
conditions between the groups. It attaches the first qualifier group with grouping numbers
as is, then finds the highest grouping number used, increases it by one, and increases all of
the grouping numbers of the second group by this number. It attaches subsequent groups in
the same manner, using the highest grouping number used by the just previously attached
group.
Both: If you attach qualifiers using one option and then re-access the window and attach
additional qualifiers using the other option, the second round qualifiers attach differently
depending on the option. If the second round option is Retain Grouping Numbers Across
Qualifier Groups, the process attaches those qualifiers among the already existing
qualifiers. If the second round option is Generate Unique Grouping Numbers Across
Qualifier Groups, the process begins attaching groups using grouping numbers incremented
from the highest existing grouping number.

Chapter 4 - Page 23
Practice - Create a Qualifier Group
Overview
In this practice, you will learn how to create a qualifier group that consists of one or more
qualifier conditions. When the qualifier group is appended to a modifier or a price list, all the
qualifier conditions within that group are applied. A qualifier group can only be created in the
Forms-based UI, but once created, it can be appended to a price list or modifier in either the
HTML or Forms-based UI.
It is important to use qualifier grouping numbers correctly because it indicates to the pricing
engine how to evaluate the qualifiers:
Qualifiers with the same grouping number are evaluated as a boolean AND condition (an
entity must meet all of the conditions to qualify).
Qualifiers with different grouping numbers are evaluated as a boolean OR condition (an
entity must meet one of the conditions to qualify).
If -1 is used as a qualifier grouping number, the qualifier is ANDED to each qualifier group
so you do not have to manually add it to each qualifier group.
Assumptions
You can navigate standard Oracle Applications.
You have basic knowledge of Oracle Advanced Pricing.
You have access to the Oracle Pricing Manager Responsibility.

If you do not enter search criteria and click the list of values indicator, you see a window
that advises that you have not entered search criteria and that the search may take a long
time:
If you want to see a reduced list of values display, click No, enter search criteria, and
click the list of values indicator
If you want to see the entire list of values display, click Yes.
If you do not want to see the list of values, click Cancel.
Set the profile option QP: Valueset Lookup Filter to avoid this message.
5. The field Value From Meaning displays additional details of the qualifier when you query a
qualifier after saving it. For example, if the context is CUSTOMER and the attribute is
Ship To, Value From displays the customer name and Value From Meaning displays the
site use location for the customer. If the context/attribute combination has no additional
details, Value From and Value From Meaning are identical.
6. Enter Start Date and End Date.
