About Publishing Pricing Information in Pagesets
To provide price values for your browser-based applications, you can associate a pricing column in your browser-based application with a Siebel price list. For situations where products and attributes are represented in the browser-based tables, but you do not want to refer to a Price List, you can enter specific values in the pricing column. The Output UI template provides a Get Price button which, when clicked, returns the user's price. Pricing is then determined using the following calculation: start price * adjustment = final price Start price includes a price from the list price (list price or promotional price). The price list provides a static price for each internal product in the price list. To integrate this functionality with Advisor, you select a price list at the project level. For more information, see Associating a Price List with a Browser-Based Model. Adjustment is defined in Pricer. To apply adjustments (such as promotional prices, volume discounts, or context-specific adjustments) to the static list price, you need to use functionality provided by Siebel Pricer. Using Pricer, you can use the adjustment variable of this equation to apply:
- Pricing rules
- Volume discounts
- Promotions
- Configurable product (bundling) rules
For example, you can apply a pricing rule to the A.K. Parker account that automatically applies a 10% discount to all purchases. If a contact from A.K. Parker logs in and orders the Model A Monitor with a list price of $500, when he hits Get Price the following calculation is performed: 500 * .9 = 450 and a final price of $450 is returned. For more information, see Siebel Pricing Administration Guide. To provide access to your pricing information
- Associate your price list with the Browser-Based model in Advisor.
- Modify the GetPrice function as needed.
The Get Price link is included in your browser-based application's UI template by default. For more information on this step, see Siebel Advisor API Reference.
- Edit the app_config.js file to modify the pricing display information.
- Add profile variables in Siebel Tools to further personalize price.
- Edit the Siebel application .cfg file to set parameters for the runtime behavior of Get Price.
The following section provides procedures for each step.
