Enabling Dynamic Pricing

Customers with the 'Dynamic Pricer' license must undertake the steps mentioned in the document to enable the execution of 'Dynamic Pricing Procedure'.

To leverage the dynamic pricing procedure, customers have to perform following changes to the existing repository.

The Siebel pricing module is available in multiple licensing modes and each mode is associated with either the 'Basic Pricing Procedure' or the 'Dynamic Pricing Procedure'.

Basic Pricing Procedure

  • This procedure mimics the basic Siebel Pricer functionality that was available in Siebel version 7.7 applications.

  • Basic Siebel Pricer functionality includes list price, volume discounts, and service pricing.

  • It leverages the variable maps that do not contain the XA child variable maps.

Dynamic Pricing Procedure

Note the following information about this procedure:

  • This procedure provides the complete pricing capabilities such as attribute pricing, promotions, aggregate discounts, and so forth.

  • It leverages the variable maps that contain the XA child variable maps.

  • It is available only to those customers that have the 'Dynamic Pricer' license.
