Example of Creating an Attribute Adjustment Based on Product Attributes

This 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:

  • Interior color has the possible values red, green, and blue.

  • Transmission has the possible values automatic and manual.

Because of current market and inventory conditions, you want to create the three price adjustments shown in the following table. These price adjustments will apply only to vans sold to retail customers.

Interior Color Transmission Adjustment Type Adjustment Amount

Automatic

% Discount

$10

Red

% Markup

$10

Blue

Price Override

$22,000

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 Using Variable Maps in Attribute Adjustments.
