Supported Integration Mechanisms

Siebel ePricer supports integration with external as well as internal applications. External integration allows ERP or Web storefront applications to use Siebel ePricer as a central pricing engine. Internal integration allows users to create rules based on any business component. Therefore, objects such as policies and opportunities can display prices based on pricing rules. The Siebel ePricer is essentially a business service called Pricing Manager.

Refer to Integration Platform Technologies: Siebel eBusiness Application Integration Volume II to help you with the process of integrating Siebel applications, including Siebel ePricer.

Refer to Siebel Tools Reference for more information on creating and managing objects in Siebel Tools. Refer to Siebel Object Interfaces Reference for more information on defining and using property sets and business services with Siebel VB and Siebel eScript.

Any Siebel ePricer integration effort requires familiarity with Siebel Tools as a prerequisite. You should plan to work closely and continuously with a Siebel Tools administrator to complete all but the most elementary integration tasks.

Note that the publications mentioned above do not provide all of the specific names, methods and locations that you will need in order to complete a Siebel ePricer integration. This chapter will provide many of these specifics, while the publications listed above will put them into context. For information about third party products, refer to the documentation supplied with those products.
