About Attribute-Based Pricing

Users may customize products by selecting attributes of the product, such as size and color. Attribute-based pricing adjusts the price based on the attributes chosen, and displays the adjusted price in the quote or order.

For example, a sales agent might create a quote for a car and select the leather upholstery attribute. After selecting the leather upholstery attribute, the agent would see the net price increase by $1000, the cost of this attribute.

A home shopper using a Web site might select the same car model, but select the Plush Interior attribute. This shopper would see the net price increase by $500, the cost of this attribute.

These two different users might be using different price lists, so their attribute adjustments would apply to different target prices.

When a user looks at any customizable product in a product catalog, the user sees the reference price in the Starting At Price field. This is the price of the product with its default options. For more information about the reference price, see Viewing and Changing the Reference Price.

NOTE:  If you use attribute-based pricing with other types of price adjustments, the final price depends on the order in which Siebel ePricer applies the pricing adjustments. For more information, see The Processing Order of Price Adjustments.
