Calculate PriceAll Pre Final Method Invoke 0
I/O Type: n/a
DTYPE: n/a
|
Any business component method supported by an active business component can be added here. Use the arguments supported by the method, for example Quote.RefreshMVGBusComp(Quote Item).
|
Quote.RefreshMVGBusComp
(Quote Item)
|
CalculatePriceAll concerns 2 processes: (1) calculate pricing for each single item and (2) calculate aggregate pricing. The method in the example is invoked between these processes. The effect of this is to refresh the Quote Total such that it holds the correct sum of prices from items, since item prices change during
Step 1.
This causes Siebel ePricer to invoke the Quote.RefreshMVGBus- Comp method with the argument "Quote Item" immediately after single product pricing for each item, which is before the aggregate portion of CalculatePriceAll method is called.

Yes. (Unless Customer needs to change the fundamental way in which quote totals are calculated.)
