Spread Discount Driver Workflow

The Spread Discount Driver workflow, as shown in the following figure, spreads a discount amount over the specified line items.

Note: The specialized implementation in the Quote Spread Discount Pop-up applet subsequently triggers Pricing Procedure – Default, which evaluates the net prices and subtotal based on the new discount amounts.

Workflow Description

This workflow does the following:

1. Generates a property set of the Line Item buscomp using Context Service variable maps. For more information, see Siebel Order Management Guide.

2. Filters out items that will not get a spread discount. By default, only nonrecurring change items are candidates for a spread discount.

3. Spreads a discount amount depending on the target total or target discount amount specified by the user.

4. Synchronizes the updated information back to the database.
