Setting Up Price Lists for Siebel eSales

Price lists set reference prices and promotional prices, and filter available products for a group or account.

When a customer logs in to the Siebel eSales Web site, the price list associated with the account is activated. The customer sees only products that are both on the activated price list and in catalogs and categories associated with the same access groups with which the customer is associated.

In a business-to-consumer (B2C) setting, a customer might not be associated with an account, or a customer’s account might not have a default price list. Because you cannot identify customers browsing your Web site anonymously, you cannot associate those customers with an account. For these customers, you have to set a default price list that determines prices and product visibility.

For more information about price lists, see Siebel Pricing Administration Guide. For information on associating price lists with accounts for B2B customers, see the chapter on using accounts in Siebel Sales in Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
