About Matrix Pricing Business Components

To use a matrix-based pricing factor, you must a create a Siebel business component with the matrix-based pricing data. You can import pricing information from external systems like spreadsheets, databases, or mainframe files into the business component by using Siebel Enterprise Application Integration (eAI).

Matrix pricing business components that are used to store matrix pricing data contain multiple records in a format like that of a spreadsheet or data table. Each record includes key data that is used to search for the record, and the corresponding price adjustment.

Some existing Siebel business components are preconfigured to work with matrix-based pricing factors. You can also develop your own business components to store pricing data.

This section begins by describing a predefined Siebel business component that provides matrix pricing data, FS Entitlement Pricing Details. Then it describes the creation of customized business components.
