Creating a Pricing Factor That Uses a Mapping

---

After you have created the pricing mapping, you can create a pricing factor that uses it.

To use a pricing factor with a mapping, you must select either EXISTS IN or DOES NOT EXIST IN in the Operator field in a Pricing Factors form. Unless you use one of these as an operator, the mapping fields are inaccessible.

This procedure assumes that you are familiar with the overall process for creating and applying a pricing model, described in The Process of Creating and Applying a Pricing Model.

To create a pricing factor that uses a mapping

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Pricing Administration >Pricing Model Manager.

The Pricing Model Manager list appears.

In the Pricing Model Manager list, select the pricing model in which you want to create a new single type pricing factor.
If the Locked field of this pricing model record does not already have a check mark in it, click it to add the check mark in order to lock it.
Click the Pricing Factor Designer view tab.
In the Pricing Factor Designer list, click New.
In the new record in the Pricing Factor Designer list, enter the information described in Table 28. In the Type field, select Single.
In the new Pricer Factors form, enter the information described in Table 41.

Table 41.  Pricer Factor Form Fields

Pricer Factor Form Fields	Entry
Name	Replace the system-generated name with a unique, meaningful name.
Business Component Name	Select a Siebel business component containing the data that the pricing factor will compare with the mapped field. The following business components are valid for single type pricing factors: Agreement Item XA, FS Agreement Item, Order Entry - Line Item, Order Entry - Orders, Order Entry XA, Price List, Price List Copy, Price List Item, Quote, Customizable Product Header, Quote Item, Customizable Product, Quote Item XA, Customizable Product XA, Service Agreement.
Business Component Field	Select the field in the Siebel business component containing the data that the pricing factor will compare with the Mapped Field.
Operator	Select an operator to be used in the comparison. To use a mapping, you must select either EXISTS IN or DOES NOT EXIST IN.
Field Value	Do not enter anything here. This field is only used with arithmetic operators.
Mapping Name	Select a mapping from the drop-down list. This list includes the names of mappings that you created in the Pricing Mapping list.
Mapping Field	Select a mapping field from the drop-down list. The pricing factor will compare this field with the Business Component Field.
Next When True	If you are using the Pricing Factor Flow Chart Designer, this read-only field displays the factor to be executed next if this factor evaluates as true. For more information, see Using the Pricing Factor Flow Chart Designer.
Next When False	If you are using the Pricing Factor Flow Chart Designer, this read-only field displays the factor to be executed next if this factor evaluates as false. For more information, see Using the Pricing Factor Flow Chart Designer.
Type of Calculation	Select a calculation that will be used to adjust the target price. The options are: Discount Amount decreases the target price by the specified amount. % Discount decreases the target price by the specified percentage value. Markup Amount increases the target price by the specified amount. % Markup increases the target price by the specified percentage value. Price Override replaces the existing current price with the specified price. Power (Target Price, Power) raises the target price to the specified exponential value. For example, if the adjustment value is 2, the target price will be raised to the power of 2, which would yield 4. A target price of $100 with an exponent of 1.176 results in a selling price of $224.9055. Multiplicative Amount multiplies the target price by a specified amount. Round (Current, Decimal Places) sets the number of decimal places to which the price will be rounded.
Adjustment Value	Enter the amount to be used in the calculation to adjust the target price. For example, if the type of calculation is a % Discount and the adjustment value is 10, a 10% discount is applied to the target price. If the type of calculation is Discount Amount and the adjustment value is 10, then a $10 discount is applied to the current price (assuming currency is USD). If the type of calculation is Price Override and the adjustment value is 10, then the price becomes $10 (assuming currency is USD).
Target Price	Select the price that will be used as the basis of the price adjustment calculation. The options are: Base = MSRP. The MSRP in the price list line item detail. Current Price. The price in its current state, which includes all adjustments that ePricer has completed when this pricing factor executes. Base = Cost. The cost in the price list line item detail. Base = List Price. The list price in the price list. If a promotional price is defined for an item, the promotional price is used instead. Base = Purchase. The Purchase Price in the price list line item detail. The adjustment is applied to the target price only if it is a % Markup or a % Discount. If the adjustment is a Markup Amount or a Discount Amount, it applies to the current price. If the adjustment is a price override, both the target price and current price are not relevant.
Active	Click the check box to activate or deactivate the pricing factor. A pricing factor will not execute when it has been deactivated. If it appears in a decision flow path, it will be interpreted as a factor that did not meet the conditions for execution.
Comments	Optionally, enter comments explaining this pricing factor to the end user. The comment entered here appears in the quote's or order's Pricing Comments field.
