Dynamic Pricing Procedure

This workflow provides advanced pricing capabilities. It contains steps and subprocedures that populate the List Price, Start Price, and Net Price fields. It also calculates the monthly recurring and nonrecurring subtotals for root customizable products. These prices and subtotals are calculated based on information from price lists, customizable product adjustments, volume discounts, attribute adjustments, aggregate discounts, service price details, product promotions, and manual discounts.

Figure 84 shows this workflow.

4. Raise Not Effective Error. The Siebel application generates an error if the price list is not yet effective.
5. Customizable Product Roll-Down. Calculates the extended quantity of all component products of a CP instance. Also, it carries over some information from the CP root to CP components for later use.
6. Set Member Reprice Flag for Quote. Sets the Member Reprice flag to True for those row sets in the Quote Line Item that are associated with a membership product so that when the reprice of the membership product is done, then the membership product and its associated asset are also repriced.
7. Set Member Reprice Flag for Order. Sets the Member Reprice flag to True for those row sets in the Order Line Item that are associated with a membership product so that when the reprice of the membership product is done, then the membership product and its associated asset are also repriced.
8. Determine Price Action. Determines the price action code based on the item Action Code and Price Type. Skips the Reprice functionality if the Override Reprice Flag is set to Y.
9. Get Price List. Gets the list price for each row in the row set.
10. Get Price List Item Id. Appends other values from the Price List Item Buscomp to the row.
11. Roll-Down Price List Item ID. Puts the CP Root Price List Item Id on each component of the CP for later use.
12. Split Unpriced Actions. Moves those rows with an action code that are not priced to another row set that will not be priced throughout the procedure.
13. Customizable Product Adjustment. Gets CP Pricing Designer adjustments for components of a CP.
14. Start = List. Initializes the start price value as the list price value.
15. Attribute Adjustment. Applies attribute adjustments to the start price.
16. Invalid Combination? Checks whether the combination for attribute pricing is valid or invalid.
17. Display Invalid Combination Error. Generates an error when an invalid combination for attribute pricing occurs.
18. Split Service Products. Moves service products from the row set into another row set for use in the service pricing subprocedure.

26. Roll-Down Bundle Prices. Spreads the discount of the root bundle products to the bundle component products.
27. Customizable Product Roll-Up. Rolls up the prices of component products to the CP root.
