Linking the Pricing Model to a Price List or Customizable Product

Before you can test or release a pricing model, you must link it to a price list or customizable product.

Each price list can have only one pricing model linked to it at a time.

Pricing factors for component-based products involve additional constraints. For more information, see About Pricing Models for Component-Based Products.

For testing, you should leave the model locked and link it to a price list or component-based product. While it is locked, it can be tested using the validation screen, but it does not apply to actual quotes and orders that use the price list.

NOTE:  If you modify either a pricing model or a price list or component-based product after the two are linked, you may need to exit and restart Siebel ePricer to see the effects of your changes. Whether this is necessary depends on how your price list and pricing model caching is set up. Your Siebel system administrator can change the cache refresh rules and reset the timing of cache date updates.
