About Component-Based Pricing

---

Customizable products can contain components that are themselves products in the product table.

For example, you sell computer monitors, CD-ROMs, and disk drives. You also sell several models of desktop computer that include these products as components.

This chapter explains how to work with this sort of component-based product:

Viewing a product in the Pricing Designer. You can use the Pricing Designer to view a product's components. It is also used for the other functionality described in this chapter.
Setting up component-based pricing. You set up pricing so the total price of a product either equals a base price plus the price of optional components, or equals the total price of all components.
Creating relation-based price adjustments. You can give customers discounts if they buy components as part of a specific product package. These are called relation-based price adjustments.
Pricing models. Pricing models for component-based products are created in the same way as pricing models for other products, but there are some added constraints, which are covered in this chapter.

If you create several types of price adjustments for component-based products, the order in which price adjustments are processed can affect the final price. In general, price adjustments for each component-based product are processed before other price adjustments, because Siebel ePricer must resolve the initial price of each line item in an order before applying further price adjustments. For more information, see The Processing Order of Price Adjustments.

NOTE:  This chapter assumes that you have general background knowledge about component-based customizable products. For more information about customizable products, see Product Administration Guide.
