Setting Up Property Set Data for CSSPropertySet

CSSPropertySet has a tree structure in which each node contains name and value pairs. The root node provides fundamental data pointing to the price list, product, and quantity.

You cannot send a pricing model ID in an external Siebel ePricer call.

The root node contains the following names and values:

Price List Id
The unique ID of the price list to be used

Product Id
The unique ID of the product to be priced

Quantity
The quantity of the product (with the specified Product ID) for the quote or order
Yes
Original List Price
Optional: A list price that will override the list price for the specified price list and product ID
No

CSSPropertySet Contents for Pricing Model Data

If a customer's system sends a Price List ID or a Price Model ID, the system expects a price model to be applied to the item's price. In order for Pricing Manager to evaluate and process the model data, the external system must also provide the business component field value. The immediate child nodes of the root provide the header/parent business component record. Below this node is another child node, which provides the child records of the header/parent record.

Each node representing a record has the format shown in Table 47.

Table 47.  Each Node Representing a Record Has the Following Format
Name
Value
BusComp_Name
The exact business component name
Row_Number
The row number of the record: 1, 2, 3, ...

CSSPropertySet Contents for Aggregate Pricing Model Data
