Siebel Pricing Administration Guide > Creating Attribute Adjustments > Example of Creating an Attribute Adjustment Based on Product AttributesThis topic gives one example of how to create attribute-based pricing based on product attributes. You may use this feature differently, depending on your business model. In this example, adjustments are applied to the price of automobiles based on two attributes:
Because of current market and inventory conditions, you want to create the three price adjustments shown in Table 12. These price adjustments will apply only to vans sold to retail customers. This example assumes that you have already created the class Horizon Autos, the product Van, and the price list Retail. For information about creating classes and products, see Siebel Product Administration Guide. For information about creating price lists, see Creating and Assigning Price Lists. This example also assumes that you have set up variable maps, as described in Variable Maps in Attribute Adjustments. Creating the Attribute Adjustment RecordFirst, create the Attribute Adjustment record. The type must be multiple, because the price adjustments depend on more than one attribute. It must be associated with the class Horizon Autos, which includes these attributes. To create the attribute adjustment record
Specifying Dimensions and DomainsNext, set up the dimensions that you want to use in the attribute adjustments. You must add two condition dimensions for the attributes that are the basis of price adjustments (Interior Color and Transmission). You must also add two result dimensions that determine the amount of the price adjustment (Adjustment Amount and Adjustment Type), which are added automatically when you click Create Result Dimensions. You also enter the domains for each of these dimensions, and you select the Bounded check box in the Dimension records. This controls data entry in the Rules list, so only valid values can be entered in the columns for these dimensions. Use the following procedure to specify the result dimensions and their domains.

Adding Pricing ConditionsAfter you have set up the dimensions of the attribute adjustment, you can add conditions. The Conditions list has a column for each of the dimensions that you created. Because you are creating conditions for only three price adjustments, you add the Conditions records manually instead of using the Generate Rules button.
Associating the Attribute Adjustment with a Product and Price ListAfter you have created the attribute pricing conditions, you must associate them with a product on a price list to make them effective. These conditions apply to vans sold to retail customers. To associate the attribute adjustment with a product and price list
