Discount Matrix Integration

You can populate discount matrices with data from other systems, load them using EIM, and systematically update them using EAI or UAN. They are designed for integration with SAP condition tables.

Loading and Updating Data from Other Applications

Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager (EIM) tables are available for each discount matrix table.

To initially load data from another application, use EIM. For more information, see Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager Administration Guide.

Integration objects are available for each discount matrix table to enable integration using EAI and Universal Application Network (UAN).

For systematic incremental updates, use EAI. For more information, see Overview: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration.

For real-time data integration, the best practice is to use UAN. For more information, see the documentation provided with the Universal Application Network product that your organization purchased.

The following SAP-specific dimensions columns are available for the product-based and entitlement-based discount matrix types:

• Sales Organization Code
• Division Code
• Distribution Channel Code

The following SAP-specific fields are available in the Discount Matrix table (S_ADJ_GROUP):
