Setting Up Price Lists for PRM

Brand owners can maintain and publish price lists for their products, so that partners can use them when creating special pricing requests. Brand owner administrators can create multiple price lists and can associate each account or partner organization with one of them. Multiple products can be assigned to a price list and given a specific price.

On a special pricing request, the customer price list determines the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of the products, and the owner partner price list determines the reseller purchase cost. Maintaining these prices in price lists streamlines administration and facilitates the special pricing process.

Before you begin: To perform the procedures described in this topic, your role must include the Manage Content privilege.

NOTE: Access to price lists is restricted to brand owner administrators who have the Manage PRM Access privilege in their role.

To set up a price list

1. In the upper-right corner of any page, click the Admin global link.
2. In the Content Management section, click Content Management.
3. In the Product Catalog section, click Price Lists.
4. On the Price List List page, do one of the following:
   • To add a price list, click New.
   • To update price list information, click the Edit link for the price list.

     NOTE: To limit the records displayed on this page, click the menu in the title bar, and change the selection. The list contains the standard lists distributed with Oracle CRM On Demand along with the lists that you or your managers created.

5. On the Price List Edit page, complete the information.

The following table describes the fields for price lists. A company administrator can add, relabel, or delete fields, so the fields you see might differ from those in this table.

Publishing Price Lists

After a price list has been updated by the administrator, it can be published to users and used when creating special pricing requests.

To publish a price list

1. In the upper-right corner of any page, click the Admin global link.
2. In the Content Management section, click Content Management.
3. In the Product Catalog section, click Price Lists.
4. Click the Edit link for the price list that you want to publish.
5. On the Price List Edit page, choose Published from the Status menu.
6. Click Save.

When you change the status to Published, the following occurs:

• The price list can be associated with an account or partner organization.
• If the price list has been associated with a customer or partner on a special pricing request, then when a special pricing product is created, the price list is used to populate the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) field and the Purchase Cost field on the special pricing product.

  The price list associated with the end customer on the special pricing request is used for the MSRP field and the price list associated with the owner partner on the special pricing request is used for the Purchase Cost field. The following conditions must also be met:

  • The price list associated with the end customer is of type MSRP and the price list associated with the owner partner is of type DIST COST.
  • The status of the price list is Published.
  • The product that is added on the special pricing request exists on the price list.
  • The start date of the special pricing request falls between the Effective From date and the Effective To date of the price list and between the Effective From date and the Effective To date of the price list line item.

Adding Price List Line Items

After creating a price list you can add products as line items for the price list. A price list can contain multiple products, but each product can be listed only one time in any given price list.

To add a price list line item

1. In the upper-right corner of any page, click the Admin global link.
2. In the Content Management section, click Content Management.
3. In the Product Catalog section, click Price Lists.
4. Click the name of the price list that you want to update.
5. On the Price List Detail page, in the Price List Line Items related information section, click Add.
6. On the Price List Line Item Edit page, complete the information.

NOTE: You can also access the Price List Line Item Edit page from a Product Edit page.

The following table describes the fields for price list line items. A company administrator can add, relabel, or delete fields, so the fields you see might differ from those in this table.
