External Integration

External applications such as ERP or Web store-front applications already have quote or order type structures. In the business process, a user will create a quote or order and pass that quote to a central pricing engine, Siebel ePricer, to be priced.

Siebel ePricer will execute methods based on the structures to come up with a price for each line and then the total. In order for the Pricing Manager business service to price an entity (product or service), the business service must receive the relevant information in a format the pricing engine can understand.

To provide the right information in the right format, you will need to create the following:

• Business components in the Siebel application that map to the external quote or order
• Property Set Object
