Switching from Basic to Dynamic Pricing Procedure

It is possible to switch from the Basic Pricing Procedure to the Dynamic Pricing Procedure, depending on your requirements.

The Basic Pricing Procedure is enabled out of the box. It does the following:
- Duplicates the 7.7 basic pricer license functionality where only the list price, volume discounts, and service pricing are supported.
- Uses the variable maps that do not contain the XA child variable maps.
The Dynamic Pricing Procedure is not enabled for out of the box execution. It does the following:
- Uses the variable maps that contain the XA child variable maps.

Provides complete pricing capabilities such as attribute pricing, promotions, aggregate discounts and so on.

You can either manually enable the Dynamic Pricing Procedure for standard signals as required, or you can automatically enable the Dynamic Pricing Procedure for all signals, as described in the following procedure.

To switch from the Basic Pricing Procedure to the Dynamic Pricing Procedure

Make sure that you have the Dynamic Pricer license.
Note: Before proceeding any further, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the Dynamic Pricing Procedure, as described in Dynamic Pricing Procedure Workflow.
Do one of the following:
1. Manually enable the Dynamic Pricing Procedure for appropriate standard signals:
  - For information about how to manually enable dynamic pricing for a signal, see Manually Enabling the Dynamic Pricing Procedure.
  - For a list of the standard signals that can be manually modified for dynamic pricing, including the parameters in each signal that must be modified, see Manual Signal Modifications for Siebel Business Applications and Industry Applications.
2. Automatically enable the Dynamic Pricing Procedure for all pricing signals:
  - Navigate to the Administration - Pricing screen, then Price Lists view in your Siebel Business Application.
  - Click Menu, and then select Enable Dynamic Pricing.
    A message dialog displays confirming that Dynamic Pricing is enabled.
    Doing this automatically makes the appropriate changes to all standard signal definitions.
    
    You can extend the list of signals to which Dynamic Pricing applies as described in Extending the List of Signals to which Dynamic Pricing Applies.
