Adding New Dimensions to Existing Discount Matrix Types

NOTE:  This topic includes instructions that assume you are familiar with Web Tools. For more information, see Using Siebel Tools. These instructions also assume that you have made the appropriate data model extensions to the appropriate discount details table.

You must use Web Tools to add new dimensions to existing discount matrix types.

To add new dimensions to existing discount matrix types using Web Tools

1. In Web Tools, open a workspace and then navigate to Object Explorer.

   For more information on using the workspace dashboard, see Using Siebel Tools.

2. In the Object Explorer, select the Business Component Object.
3. Query to find the appropriate discount matrix Business Component (Product-Based Adjustment, Entitlement-Based Adjustment, or Training-Based Adjustment).
4. Add a new Business Component field based on the newly created extension column.
5. In the Object Explorer, select the Business Component User Prop object under the Business Component object.
6. Add the new field name to the appropriate user property.

   NOTE:  If the field will be used as a criteria dimension, then add it to the Dimension Columns user property. If the field will be used as a calculation or result dimension, then add it to the Default Columns user property. The appropriate syntax for the user properties is as follows: #FieldName#FieldName#FieldName#

7. In the Object Explorer, select the Applet object.
8. Query to find the appropriate discount details applet (Product-Based Adjustment list applet, Entitlement-Based Adjustment list applet, or Training-Based Adjustment list applet).
9. Create a new list column for the new field.
10. Bind the list column to the Edit List Web template.
11. Deliver the applet changes to the Siebel runtime repository.

If the new field was added as a criteria dimension, then it now appears as a selection in the discount criteria pick applet for the appropriate discount matrix type. If the new field was added as a calculation or result dimension, then it now appears in the Discount Details applet when the user drills down on a discount matrix with the appropriate discount matrix type.
