1 Pricing Cloud Service Introduction

Oracle Retail Pricing Cloud Service (RPCS) provides the ability to define, maintain, and review price changes, clearances, and promotions as well as provides the ability to pass approved price events onto downstream selling systems.

RPCS functionality provides support for initial pricing, regular price changes, clearance markdowns, and promotions. It also offers the ability to upload price changes and clearance events in multiple ways including spreadsheet induction, bulk upload, or web service. The user interface supports price change or clearance wizards for entering multiple price events at once as well as a quick entry panel for quickly adding these types of price events.

RPCS also supports an offer wizard for entering and maintaining offers within a promotion. Offers can be at the item or transaction level and RPCS supports multiple templates for different offer types.

RPCS functionality provides support for initial pricing, regular price changes, clearance markdowns, and promotions. It also provides for the execution of these price events to update the selling systems, such as Xstore POS, and to update the item/location price and stock ledger when the price changes go into effect.

Note: Users should not access the Oracle Retail Pricing Cloud Service during the Retail Merchandising System (RMS) batch window as it may cause some unpredictable results.
