Fee Decision Model Overview

You create decision models using the Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) decision modeling feature. Use this feature to create decision models to automate the decision logic in your business processes. As part of creating a decision model, add and order decisions, define decision inputs, and model the logic. The decision model editor supports the Decision Modeling and Notation (DMN) standard for you to create your models.

For more information on decision models refer to your OCI Process Automation documentation: Model Decisions.

In the Oracle Permitting and Licensing services, a decision model enables you to automate the calculation of fees based on your business process criteria.

For example, assume your agency applies varying fees based on the total cost of a building project for which a permit is being requested. A decision model enables you to automate this business logic:

• If the project value is less than or equal to $500, then the application fee is $50.

• If the project value is more than $500 but less than or equal to $1,000, then the application fee is $75.

• If the project value is more than $1,000 and $5,000, then the application fee is $125.

• For any project value over $5,000, then the application fee is $200.

Before you create a decision model, you must first create a fee item. After creating the decision models, you can then associate the decision model with a fee schedule. The fees workflow generally follows these main steps and events:

1. Create fee item(s).

2. Create decision model based on existing fee item(s).

3. Create a fee schedule incorporating fee items and decision model.

4. Associate a fee schedule with a transaction type.

5. Map intake form fields to the decision model in the Intake Form Designer.

6. When an end user is submitting an intake form the system applies fees and fee logic based on input.
