1. In Siebel Tools, select the Pricing Procedure - Calculate Net Price workflow process. Revise and edit this workflow process.
2. After the Tiered Volume Discount Upsell step, add a new business service step that queries the appropriate discount matrix business component for any discounts associated with each account type.
   1. Define the step as shown in the following table.

      Name	Type	Business Service Name	Business Service Method
      Account Type Adjustments	Business Service	Row Set Transformation Toolkit	Simple Look-Up Transform

   2. Define the input arguments as shown in the following table.

      Input Argument	Type	Value	Property Name

      Row Set	Process Property		Row Set
      Business Object	Literal	Adjustment Group
      Business Component	Literal	Product-Based Adjustment
      Process Condition	Literal	{Row.Product Id} IS NOT NULL AND {Context.Account Type} IS NOT NULL
      Search Specification	Literal	[Adjustment Group Name] = 'Account Type Discount' AND [Account Type] = {Context.Account Type}
      On First Match 1	Literal	{Row.Net Price} = AdjustPrice({Row.Net Price}, {Row.Currency Code}, LookupName("PRICER_CALCULATION_SIMPLE_TYPE", {Match.Adjustment Type}), {Match.Adjustment Amount}, {Match.Currency Code}, {Row.Exchange Date})
      On First Match 2	Literal	{Row}.{Net Price Waterfall} += New("Waterfall", [Adjustment Amount] = {Match.Adjustment Amount}, [Adjustment Type] = {Match.Adjustment Type}, [Price] = {Row.Net Price}, [Currency Code] = {Row.Currency Code}, [Text] = LookUpMessage ("Pricer - Account Type Discount",[Account Type] = {Match.Account Type} ,[Discount Matrix] = {Match.Adjustment Group Name}))

   3. Define the output arguments as shown in the following table.
