Price Lists

This chapter covers the following topics:

Overview of Price Lists

Price lists are essential to ordering products because each item entered on an order must have a price. Price lists, like modifiers, consist of a header region that defines general information such as effective dates and currency, and price list lines that define item and/or item category prices. For price list lines, you can define price breaks, pricing attributes, and qualifiers.

Note: You can only view or update a price list for your pricing transaction entity and source system. Therefore, the profile options QP: Pricing Transaction Entity profile and QP: Source System Code must match the pricing transaction entity for the price list. For example, if updating an intercompany price list, the profile options should be set to QP: Pricing Transaction Entity = Intercompany Transaction (INTCOM) and QP: Source System Code = Oracle Inventory (INV).

Using Price Lists in the HTML User Interface

Oracle Advanced Pricing provides an HTML-based user interface (UI) that features guided steps, user-friendly pages, and shortcut links for setting up and maintaining modifiers, price lists, and qualifiers.

You can use this HTML format for many tasks that were previously available only using the Oracle Forms-based interface. Tasks that can be completed in HTML are identified by (HTML Interface) in the task title, for example, Creating a Price List (HTML Interface).

Price List Terms

The following defines common price list terms that you will see when setting up and maintaining price lists:

Using Price Lists in the HTML User Interface

Creating a Price List

Price lists consist of a header region where you can define general information such as effective dates and currency, and price list lines that define item and/or item category prices. You can define and maintain multiple price lists.

Note: Oracle Advanced Pricing also provides an HTML-based user interface for setting up and maintaining price lists. See Creating a Price List (HTML Interface).

If you are using the multicurrency conversion feature, see Overview of Multicurrency Conversion Lists.

You can define the following types of prices for price list lines:

Service Items

The pricing engine prices service items in the same way that it prices inventory items. You can price service items as follows:

Qualifier Grouping Number Options

You can attach both qualifiers and qualifier groups to a price list. When you attach qualifier groups, all the qualifiers in the qualifier group are attached. You can use qualifier grouping numbers to indicate to the pricing engine how to evaluate the qualifiers. For more information on qualifier groups, see Using Qualifier Grouping Numbers and Using Qualifier Grouping Numbers across Qualifier Groups.

To create a price list

  1. Navigate to the Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window.

    Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window

    the picture is described in the document text

  2. Enter a Name for the price list.

    Note: The price list Name should be unique across PTEs (Pricing Transaction Entities) otherwise an error occurs. For example, if a price list named Corporate is created in the Order Management PTE, an error message displays if you create a Corporate price list in the Purchasing PTE.

  3. Select the Mobile Download box if you are using an Oracle Mobile application and want to download specific price lists onto a mobile device such as a laptop computer. The default value is No.

    You can select or clear the Mobile Download box either when creating or updating a price list.

  4. To activate the price list, select the Active box.

  5. Enter a Description of the price list.

  6. Select a price list Currency.

  7. Enter a Round To value that is applied to the price list. A positive number indicates the number of places to the left of the decimal point. A negative number indicates number of places to the right of the decimal point. The default is -2. The pricing engine rounds the base price and all discount amounts before using them in calculations.

    The value returned depends on the value that was set for the profile option QP: Unit Price Precision Type:

  8. Enter the starting and ending Effective Dates for the price list. The Start Date defaults to the current date.

  9. The Global box field is visible only when pricing security is turned on. The Global box is selected by default. If cleared, then the Operating Unit field is displayed for the price list.

  10. Operating Unit: Restricts the usage of the price list to the named operating unit.

    If multiorg access is not enabled, the operating unit defaults from profile MO: Operating Unit. This operating unit field cannot be updated by users. If multiorg access is enabled, operating unit default from profile MO: Default Operating Unit. Users can override this default and select an operating unit that they have access to as defined by MO: Security Profile.

  11. Select the default Payment Terms.

  12. Select the default Freight Terms and Freight Carrier.

In the Other Tab

  1. Select the Other tab.

Creating Price List Lines

Creating Price List Lines

In the List Lines tab of the price list, you can add price list lines to define the actual items on the price list and their list prices.

To create price list lines

  1. Select the List Lines tab in the Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window.

    Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window: List Lines tab

    the picture is described in the document text

  2. Select Item from the Product Context field.

  3. Select a Product Attribute for the Item such as Item Number, Item Category, or All Items.

    Note: Use All Items to apply the same price to all items in your product hierarchy.

  4. Enter a Product Value for the selected product attribute.

  5. The UOM (unit of measure) field defaults from the item master of the validation organization. You can change it to any valid unit of measure for that item.

  6. Select the Primary UOM box to select the primary pricing unit of measure for the item.

    For example, an item (such as item A11111) in a price list may have two price list lines: one with a UOM of Each (EA)--the primary UOM--and the other with a UOM of Boxes. The pricing engine uses the pricing Primary UOM and the Oracle Inventory UOM conversion information to price an order whose unit of measure does not have a price list line. If an order for item A11111 is placed in the unit of measure Case (CS), the pricing engine accesses the unit of measure conversion tables to convert Case to Each (EA).

  7. Select one of the following Line Types:

  8. Select an Application Method:

  9. Enter a Value which is typically the base list price of the item. The Value field is grayed out if you are creating price breaks.

    Note: If the QP: Price Rounding profile option is set to Enforce Currency Precision, and you enter a list price greater than the precision amount allows, you will be unable to save the price list. An error message only displays when you try to save the price list, not when you first enter the list price.

  10. Select either a Static Formula or Dynamic Formula. If Price Header is selected as the Line Type, you cannot select a formula.

  11. Enter the Start Date and End Dates for the price list line. The dates should be within the effective start and end dates of the price list.

    This Precedence value defaults based on the product attribute selected. The pricing engine uses precedence values to resolve conflicts if more than one price list line is selected from a price list.

  12. Save your work.

To define pricing attributes

  1. Click Pricing Attributes in the List Lines tab to display the Pricing Attributes window.

    Pricing Attributes window

    the picture is described in the document text

  2. Select a Product Context and Product Attribute/Value for the selected item.

  3. Select an Operator value.

  4. Enter Value From/To.

  5. Save your work.

    Note: The pricing attributes are joined as AND conditions since they apply to one price list line.

To select a secondary price list

  1. In the Secondary Price List tab, select a Secondary Price List. For more information, see Secondary Price List.

    Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window

    the picture is described in the document text

    If the item you are ordering is not in the primary price list, the pricing engine looks for the price on any attached secondary price list. If the item is found, the pricing engine uses the highest precedence secondary price list (the secondary price list with the lowest value in the Precedence field).

  2. Save your work.

    Note: The pricing engine does not evaluate qualifiers on secondary price lists; however, some user setups may require them to be evaluated. In these cases, the System Administrator must change the profile QP: Qualify Secondary Price Lists to Yes. See Oracle Advanced Pricing Implementation Guide, Profile Options for more information.

To create qualifiers

  1. Select the Qualifiers tab.

    Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window: Qualifiers tab

    the picture is described in the document text

  2. Enter a qualifier Grouping Number. Qualifier lines with the same grouping number generate an AND condition and qualifiers with different grouping numbers generate an OR condition.

    For more information on qualifier grouping numbers, see Using Qualifier Grouping Numbers.

  3. Select the Qualifier Context.

  4. Select the Qualifier Attribute. For example, if you selected Qualifier Context = Volume, then all the qualifier attributes for volume are listed (except Order Amount which cannot be used).

  5. Value From/Value To: If you define a Value From/To range using negative numbers, enter the range from lowest to highest value. For example, to define a Volume Order Amount between -99999 to -1, enter the Value From = -99999 and the Value To = -1.

  6. Applies To Party Hierarchy: This check box is enabled only for attributes that are based on Oracle TCA (Trading Community Architecture) Parties and Party Hierarchy Enabled flag has been selected for this attribute on attribute management setups. See the Oracle Advanced Pricing Implementation Guide for more details.

    Hierarchies consist of tiered relationships where one party is ranked above another such as in a corporate hierarchy where different companies are related as parent, subsidiary, headquarters, division and so on. Here is an example of a hierarchy for a fictitious company XYZ Corporation:

    ---XYZ Global

    -----XYZ US (Global Subsidiary of XYZ Global)

    -------XYZ HQ (Global Subsidiary of XYZ Global)

    ----------XYZ Branch (Division of XYZ HQ)

    If Applies To Party Hierarchy is selected, then the modifier adjustment or price list (depending on what the qualifier is set up for) would be available to the parent party selected in the Attribute field and its subsidiaries. So, for example, if Applies To Party Hierarchy is selected for XYZ Global, then the qualifier would also apply to its related subsidiaries: XYZ US, XYZ HQ, and XYZ Branch. This saves you time from creating multiple qualifiers one for each subsidiary or division.

  7. Enter an Operator and Value From/To. Enter Value To only when the Operator is BETWEEN.

    Note: Some list of values for qualifiers (such as Customer) may have large value sets that may prolong your query. To reduce the number of items that display in the list of values, enter additional search criteria in the field. You can set the profile option QP: Valueset Lookup Filter to avoid seeing a system warning about queries.

    The Value From Meaning field displays additional details of the qualifier when you query a qualifier after saving it. For example, if the context is CUSTOMER and the attribute is Ship To, the Value From field displays the customer name and Value From Meaning field displays the site use location for the customer. If the context/attribute combination has no additional details, Value From and Value From Meaning are identical.

  8. Enter a range for the Start/End Dates. If a qualifier has effective dates, then the pricing entity (such as a price list) will be applied if the conditions of the qualifier are met within the specified dates. Once the qualifier expires, the pricing engine will not evaluate that pricing entity. The alternative is to delete the qualifier from the list.

    For example, suppose you create a price list with an effective start date of 23-NOV-2005 and no end date; then you create a qualifier at the header level with effective dates from 10-NOV-2005 to 12-NOV-2005 for customer Computer Service and Rentals. However, after 12-NOV-2005, the price list will not be valid for Computer Service and Rentals or any other customer and the price list becomes expired.

To copy qualifier groups (to the price list)

  1. In the Qualifiers tab (Price Lists window), click Copy Group to display the Qualifier Groups window:

    Qualifier Groups window

    the picture is described in the document text

  2. Select the qualifier group(s) whose qualifiers you want for the price list.

    Warning: When a qualifier group for a price list is copied, any qualifier lines within that group that have Order Amount or Price List defined as attributes are not copied over.

  3. Select one of the grouping options: Retain Grouping Numbers Across Qualifier Groups or Generate Unique Grouping Numbers Across Qualifier Groups. For more information, see Using Qualifier Grouping Numbers across Qualifier Groups.

  4. Click OK to copy the qualifiers from the selected group(s) to the price list. The qualifiers display in the Qualifiers tab. The name of the originating Group associated with the qualifier displays in the Group field.

    Note: After selecting the qualifier groups, confirm that the grouping numbers display the correct combination of AND and OR conditions.

  5. Save your work.

Defining Price Breaks for a Price List Line

You can use price breaks (bracket pricing) to define prices that vary with the quantity ordered. For example, if you buy up to 10 items the price is $20 per item, but if you buy more that 10 items, you get a lower price per unit.

Note: If you define a price for an Item Category, then all items within the category are eligible for the price break.

The following table displays an example of a price break setup:

Price Break Pricing Context Pricing Attribute Value From-To Price Application Method Recurring Value
1 Volume Item Quantity 0-11 $50 Unit Price --
2 Volume Item Quantity 11-99999 $45 Unit Price --

Note: To use price breaks, the following values must be selected in the Price Lists window:

To define price breaks

  1. Complete your entries in the List Lines tab (selected fields described):

  2. Click Price Breaks in the List Lines tab of the Price Lists window to display the Price Breaks window.

    Price Breaks window

    the picture is described in the document text

  3. Define each price break:

Defining Price Breaks with Block Pricing (for application method Block Price)

Defining Price Breaks with Block Pricing

Using block pricing, you can apply a lumpsum price rather than a per unit price to a price list line. Block pricing also provides flexibility when the unit of measure (UOM) of the header is different from the pricing attributes of each break range.

In regular breaks, lines have the application method of unit price (for inventory items) and percent price (for service items only). For block pricing breaks, unit price or percent price is replaced by block price to differentiate between the line UOM and the header UOM. Like regular breaks, block pricing can be defined for either Point or Range price types.

When the break type is Range, and application method is BLOCK, you can define a recurring value for that block. For example, if the Recurring Value is 100, then the range is priced for every 100 items within the block.

Note: If the recurring value does not divide evenly into the block, the resulting price is a prorated amount, not a flat rate, of the block price.

The following examples show how price breaks with block pricing could be used:

Example 1: Example of Block Price Using a Recurring Value

You can apply a block price and have the price repeat for defined intervals (the recurring value); for example, to charge $10 per 100 items up to 1,000 items. In this example, the recurring value is 100.

Note: You cannot use Recurring Value if the Price Type is Point.

When a recurring value is used with price breaks, the Block price repeats for every interval defined by the Recurring Value column. In this example, for the first 1200 units, the price is $10 for each 100 units up to 1200 units.

For over 1200 units and more, you could create a second price to define a price of $30 for each 100 units.

Therefore, if 1,300 units were purchased, the total cost would be $150, which is calculated as follows:

Example 2: Using Block price and Unit price with Price Breaks

For additional pricing flexibility, a Block Price and Break Unit Price can be applied in a price break. This is commonly found in minimum price scenarios.

Example 2a)

A $100 flat price is charged for 1 to 100 minutes of cellular phone usage, after which the customer is billed a Break Unit Price of $1.00 per minute. This can be done by setting up a Block Price with a recurring value: for example, $10 per 100 minutes, and then applying a Break Unit Price of $1.00 for each minute over 100 minutes.

Example 2b)

The following tables displays the Block Price and Break Unit Price setup in the Price Lists window.

This table displays the Block Price setup:

Item UOM Line Type Price Type Application Method
ALL Each (EA) Price Header Range Block Price

This table displays the Per Unit pricing setup:

Pricing Context Pricing Attribute Value From-To Price Application Method Recurring Value
Volume Item Quantity 0 - 1,200 $10 Block Price 100
Volume Item Quantity 1,200 - 2,000 $5 Block Price 50
Volume Item Quantity 2,000 - 999,999 $0.30 Break Unit Price Null

Block Price with Application Method of BLOCK PRICE and BREAK UNIT PRICE

If BLOCK PRICE is selected as the application method in the price header for a price list (this is possible only with Range breaks), you can select the following application methods for the price lines:

When the BREAK UNIT PRICE application method is used in the line, the price specified is the break unit price per attribute. For example, if the price is based on the price attribute Item Weight, the price to be specified is price per unit weight.

When setting up the price break, the price provided should be the break unit attribute price. The break unit price for the ordered item is calculated by multiplying the BREAK UNIT PRICE with the sourced Volume Attribute value divided by the ordered quantity.

For example: if the Item Weight in lbs is used as the Volume Attribute in the following price breaks ($10 is the price per lb.):

Pricing Attribute Value from Value to Price Application method
Item Weight 0 50 10 Break unit price
Item Weight 50 100 8 Break unit price

The Item Weight is sourced from the total line weight of a sales order line. For example, if a sales order is entered for three items each weighing 2 lbs, then the unit list price returned from the preceding price would be: [10 X 6]/3 = $20. Six is the total line weight (2 x 3) lbs.

In the preceding context, the pricing attribute and its sourcing are important factors; therefore, it is important to ensure that the appropriate pricing attribute is used when setting up Break Unit Price lines to get the correct results.

If any Volume attribute that sources a constant value is used, the list price in a sales order varies with the ordered quantity even though the ordered quantity falls in the same break. It is recommended to use sourced volume attributes whose value changes with the ordered quantity such as Item Weight, Item Volume, and Item Quantity.

These considerations apply when using cross order volume attributes too. For example, if the cross-order volume pricing attribute Period 1 Item Amount is used in the line, the break unit price will be the price per unit period 1 amount.

Unless there is specific business requirement, it is not recommended to use Cross Order Volume attributes with BLOCK PRICE at the Header level and BREAK UNIT PRICE for the line. Instead, consider using UNIT PRICE at the Header level for such scenarios.

Finding Price List Lines

When querying price list lines, use the Find Price List Lines window to find specific price list lines. You can select the product attribute context (for example, Item), then select the product attribute (for example, Item Number) and a specific product attribute value (for example, Product A) to refine your search results.

In the Find Price List Lines window, you can search using the following combinations:

Note: You cannot query or search by Product Description. If you search using the Find Price List Lines window instead of using a query-by-example on the Advanced Pricing - Price Lists window, you may reduce your search time.

Creating a GSA Price List

A General Services Administration (GSA) designation identifies a price list belonging to a United States government customer. For products on the GSA price list, a fixed price must be used and defined on the GSA contract.

You can create a GSA price list for your GSA customers. The items on the GSA price list cannot be sold to commercial customers for a price equal to or less than the government price. Therefore, the price offered to the government must be the minimum in the market. A GSA violation occurs when a non-United States government customer is offered a price equal to or less than the GSA Price. You can set up multiple GSA price lists that are effective during the same period.

To create a GSA price list

  1. Navigate to the Define Modifier - Define GSA Price window. In this window, you can set up a GSA price list and GSA prices.

    Define Modifier - Define GSA Price window: Main Tab

    the picture is described in the document text

  2. Complete your entries in the Main tab:

  3. In the Modifiers Summary tab, enter information about the modifier lines:

  4. Complete your entries in the Discounts/Charges tab:

  5. In the Other tab, you can view the following including details about any related Sales Agreement:

To create GSA list qualifiers

To create qualifiers for a GSA price list, you can select a qualifier context such as customer and then a qualifier attribute that defines the context further such as customer name.

Note: You may be unable to select existing groups from the Qualifiers tab because GSA price lists restrict the type of qualifiers that can be attached.

You can select one of the following Qualifier Contexts:

  1. Click List Qualifiers.

    Note: Do steps 2-10 for each customer that is eligible for the GSA price.

  2. Enter the Grouping Number.

    Note: Since Qualifier Context is Customer, make OR conditions by creating each qualifier with a different grouping number.

  3. Select either Customer or Modifier List for Qualifier Context.

  4. Enter the Qualifier Attribute.

  5. Enter Operator value and the Value From/To.

  6. Enter the Start/End Date.

  7. The Precedence value defaults from the qualifier setup (from context and attributes).

  8. Enter the customer name in Value From.

  9. Enter start date and end date for the customer.

  10. Save your work.

    Note: The start and end dates of the list qualifiers must be within the start and end date of the modifier list.

Maintaining Price Lists

You can maintain your existing price lists by adding more inventory items, adjusting prices within a single price list, or copying an existing price list to another price list.

For more complex tasks, such as searching across multiple price lists or adjusting prices for the same item across many price lists, Oracle Advanced Pricing provides a price list maintenance feature that enables you to:

The following provides an overview of the common tasks you can do to maintain price lists and price list lines:

Adding Inventory Items to a Price List

When you add inventory items to a price list, you can specify an item status, such as active or planned; an item category, such as hardware or software; or a range of items. If a hierarchy category is specified, all items for that category as well as child categories will be added to the price list. You can request the price to be either zero or the items' costs in a specific inventory organization. Later, you can adjust the prices to your selling price.

The process only adds items that exist in the item validation inventory organization and that are not on the price list, even if they are inactive on the price list. To add items from an item category, you must first define the default inventory category set. When you add items from an item category, the process adds all items of the item category to the price list; it does not add the item category.

Adjusting Price Lists

You can increase or decrease the list price of price list lines by an amount or percentage within a price list. You can adjust prices for all lines on the price list, lines that belong to an item category, lines with items of a certain status, lines created on a specified date, or lines having a range of items.

Updating Prices (manually) for Price List Lines

You can always manually change the price on an existing price list line. If you type over the existing price, the new price is effective for new orders as soon as you save your changes.

If you use price list line effectivity dates, you can maintain a historical record of your prices.

Copying Price Lists

You can quickly create a new price list by copying an existing price list. Only active price list lines (those with an effective end date later than the current date) can be copied. You can also copy active discounts and effective dates from the original price list.

Note: All newly copied price lists with price breaks will be defined as continuous price breaks.

Maintain Price Lists Using the Price List Maintenance Feature

The Price List Maintenance feature enables you to search across a single or multiple price lists, select related entities such as specific price list items, and make updates to price list or price list lines across a single price list or multiple price lists.

Adding Items to a Price List

Use this process to add items from the item master file to price lists. You must define the price list header information before you can add items.

You can add inventory items to a price list by selecting:

You can set the price to be either zero or equal to the items' costs from a specific inventory organization. Later, you can adjust the prices to your selling price.

The process only adds existing items from the item validation inventory organization and that are not on the price list, even if they are inactive on the price list.

To add items from an item category, you must first define the default inventory category set. When you add items from an item category, the process adds all items of the item category to the price list; it does not add the item category. If category set is hierarchical, then all items within the hierarchy will be added.

To add items to a price list

  1. Navigate to the Add Items to Price List window.

    Add Items to Price List window

    the picture is described in the document text

  2. Select the Price List to which you want to add items.

    Do one or more of the following steps to select criteria of the items to be added to your price list:

  3. Enter an item or range of Items to be added to the price list. You cannot use a wild card such as % when you specify the beginning and ending item numbers.

    When you enter an item or items, the System Items window appears. It features Low/High fields that enable you to define a range of items.

    If you enter a Low value for an item such as PS-2 and click Tab, the same value automatically defaults to the High field. However, if you then change the Low value, and click Tab, the High field does not reflect the changed value. You must manually change the High field to the desired value.

  4. Select an Item Category Set.

    If you specify only an Item Category Set, then all the items that belong to the specified Item Category Set will be added to the specified price list.

  5. To define selected items within an Item Category Set, select an Item Category.

  6. Enter an Item Status to select items by their status.

  7. Select the Set List Price Equal to Cost From check box if you have Oracle Inventory installed and to set the list price of the inventory item equal to its cost.

    Note: The list price becomes zero if:

  8. Enter an Inventory Organization to limit the source of the items to add to those in the organization. If you do not enter an organization, the process uses the organization specified in the profile option QP: Item Validation Organization.

  9. Click Submit, and use the Request ID that displays to track your request status.

Adjusting Prices for a Price List

Use this process to adjust the prices for a price list. You can adjust prices for the entire price list or selected items, item category sets, and item categories. You can define your criteria further by selecting the item status or creation date of the items to adjust.

Note: Oracle Advanced Pricing also provides an HTML-based user interface for adjusting prices on price lists. See Using the Price.

For example, you can specify a category so that only the price list lines for the selected category are adjusted. If you leave any of the fields blank, pricing adjusts the price list regardless of that field.

You can adjust the price by either an amount or percent:

While adjusting prices:

To adjust a price list

  1. Navigate to the Adjust Price List window.

    Adjust Price List window

    the picture is described in the document text

  2. Select the name of the Price List to adjust.

    The default Currency and Description of the price list displays.

  3. Enter an Item or range of Items whose prices you want to adjust. You cannot use wild cards when you specify the beginning and ending item numbers.

    Note: For System Items, the list of values (LOV) is not available. For these items, you may need to use an API.

  4. Select an Item Category Set.

    When you select an Item Category Set only, all item prices in that category set are adjusted.

  5. To restrict items within a selected Item Category Set, select additional criteria in the Item Category field.

  6. Select the Item Status to include items of a specific status.

  7. Enter a Creation Date to adjust the prices of items added to the price list on that date.

  8. In the Adjust By field, select Percent or Amount:

  9. Enter a Value that corresponds to the percent or amount to be adjusted.

  10. Choose Submit. The request ID is displayed in the Request ID field.

Copying a Price List

You can quickly create a new price list by copying an existing price list. Only active price list lines (those with an effective end date later than the current date) can be copied.

You can also copy:

You can copy an existing Standard price list type to a new Standard price list, or an existing Agreement price list to a new Agreement price list. After the price list is copied, you can create a new agreement and attach the new price list to the agreement. Since price list names cannot be duplicated, each price list name must be unique.

Note: Copying price breaks created in releases earlier than R12: When you copy a price list, all price break lines from the original price list are copied to the new price list. However, any price breaks created in releases earlier than R12 are converted from non-continuous to the standard continuous price break format (available in release R12 and newer). Since the conversion results in changes to the price break setup and break calculations, you should review the copied price break lines and make any required changes to ensure correct pricing results. For more information on price breaks and their impact on pricing adjustments, see Continuous Price Breaks.

To copy a price list

  1. Navigate to the Copy Price List window.

    Select one of the following options:

  2. Complete your entries in the Copy From region:

  3. Complete your entries in the Copy To region:

  4. Click Submit to copy the price list or selected lines. The request ID is displayed in the Request ID field.

Copying a Price List Line

You can duplicate an existing price list line for a price list. This saves you time from manually re-entering a new pricing line. Although the price list information and pricing attributes are duplicated, price details from the source line are not copied.

Price list lines will be considered duplicate unless the:

Creating a Price List (HTML Interface)

Price lists are essential to ordering products because each item on an order must have a price. Each price list contains basic price list information and price list lines that define the items and their list prices. Creating a price list in the HTML user interface is a flow-based process that consists of the following guided steps:

  1. Enter general price list information to define general information about the price list such as the price list name, effective dates, currency, pricing controls, rounding factor, and shipping defaults.

  2. Create qualifiers that define eligibility rules for the price list. You can use qualifiers to restrict the price list to certain customers by qualifying customers for a particular price list. For example, the customer must be a Gold class customer to receive the price list.

  3. Review and then save the price list.

  4. Add price list lines that define the items on your price list and their list prices.

    Note: Pricing security can affect the View and Maintain features associated with the Update and Details icons in the HTML user interface. See Oracle Advanced Pricing Implementation Guide, Pricing Security for more information.

To create a price list

  1. Navigate to the Create Price List: General Information page.

Secondary Price Lists Region

  1. Click Add Another Row to add a blank row where you can select a secondary price list.

  2. Click the Search icon and select the price list to be attached as a secondary price list. The Description appears by default based on the price list selected. It is view-only.

    The Precedence number is provided by default and can be updated.

    Note: If the item is listed on multiple secondary price lists, the precedence value is used to determine which secondary price list the item is selected from.

    The lower the precedence number, the higher its precedence ranking. Therefore, a secondary price list with a Precedence value of 100 is selected before a precedence of 200, and a value of 200 is selected before 300, and so on.

    Optionally, to delete this price list as a secondary price list, click Delete, and then click Apply to save your changes.

  3. Click Next to display the Create Price List: Qualifiers page. Qualifiers define the eligibility rules that define who qualifies for the modifier. Define any qualifiers for the price list.

    A Confirmation message confirms that the price list has been created and asks if you want to add price list lines. Price list lines define the items and prices for the price list.

    Note: Once created, the price list remains in Inactive status. You must update the price list and select the Active box to activate the price list.

  6. To add price list lines, click Yes. Click No, if you do not want to add price list lines now. You can add price list lines in the future.

Pricing Service Items in Oracle Order Management

The pricing engine prices service items in the same way that it prices inventory items. Oracle Order Management passes both the serviceable item (which is the parent item in Order Management) and the service item to the pricing engine; the pricing engine first prices the serviceable item and then prices the service item.

You can price service items by:

Using the Price List Maintenance feature (HTML Interface)

Use the Price List Maintenance feature to make changes to price list lines for a single price list or across many price lists. The frequency of these changes depend largely on your business processes and how often you update your prices--daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually. To make changes, search for the price list or price list lines to be changed in the Price List Maintenance page, then do a detail change or bulk change to update the value, formula or effective dates. Changes can be made for a single price list or across multiple price lists for price list lines.

For example, you could adjust all plastic items by 3 percent, metal items by 5 percent, and extend the end date from September 30, 2005, to December 31, 2005, for a Corporate price list. Depending on your business requirements, click either the Detail Change or Bulk Change button to make changes.

You can review your results before applying your changes, which is useful for modeling your pricing scenarios before submitting the final changes.

Making Bulk Changes across a Selected Group of Lines

The Bulk Change feature enables you to make the same updates across all selected price list lines: for example, to adjust the price by $5. This saves time from updating each price list line separately. These changes are made in the Bulk Change: Make Changes page.

Unlike the Detail Change feature, which requires you to update each price list line separately, the Bulk Change feature enables you make your changes once and update all selected price list lines. For example, bulk change could be used to:

When making changes to the price list line, you can end date the existing line and create a new price list line with the changes. The existing line will be end-dated, and the changes are reflected only in the new line.

In Bulk Change, you can choose to make a date change by selecting either the Override option or End Date and Create New option from the Action region. When end dating and creating a new line, you can also retain the existing start and end dates. Otherwise, they can override the start and end date of the existing line.

If a product on a price list has overlapping dates, the system will display an error; for example, if you end date a price list line when the item is no longer sold.

To make bulk changes across a selected group of line

  1. After you have completed your search in the Price List Maintenance page, select the price lists or price lines to update.

  2. Click Bulk Change to display the Bulk Change: Make Changes page. The Bulk Change feature enables you to do the same change across all the selected lines rather than to update each line separately (Detail Change).

  5. If you selected Change Date in the Type of Date Change field, enter the new dates in the following fields:

  6. In the Formula region, select the Type of Formula Change:

  7. Select the Formula Name. Do not select a Formula Name if you selected No Change from the Type of Data Change list. Click the Search icon to display all the dynamic and static formulas.

    Note: Formulas with Modifier Value as a formula type will not appear in the List of Values.

  8. In the Value region, select how the value should be changed for the selected price list lines:

  9. When you have completed your entries, click Refresh Data to view your changes.

    Note: Any validation errors appear at the top of the page. You may be able to resolve the error by changing the start and end date values for the price list line.

    The Bulk Change: Make Changes page displays both the new and original values.

  10. Click Continue to review the updated price list lines:

  11. To make revisions (for Bulk Changes), change your entries in the Maintenance Criteria region and click Continue or Refresh Data to process your changes.

    Note: If you click Refresh Data, the changes are applied to the original value displayed on the price list lines in the search results, not to the price list line values that are currently in the Bulk Change Window. Therefore, if you updated your price list by 10 percent from 100 to 110 and you decide you want to update to 20 percent, the price is now 120, not 132.

To view validation errors

Validation errors appear at the top of the page where the error occurred. Depending on the error, you can change the values in this price list line to resolve the error. Click Refresh Data again to ensure the error disappears.

Note: Whenever you change the maintenance criteria and click Refresh Data, the changes are applied to the price list lines, not to the price list lines values.
