Entity Profile Enhancements for Handling Non-Seeded Product Offering type
Today Launch application has seeded Product Offering types to distinguish between bundle offers (Package, Commercial and Service) and simple atomic offers (Device, Accessory and Service). Also you would be able to introduce additional types based on the business needs. This is a critical capability to promote a least disruptive uptake of Launch into a CSP ecosystem. The flip side to this feature is that it gets treated at par with the seeded offer types. Example: Non seeded type product offers would be available to be picked up in the bundle configuration and it would participate in price roll-ups etc.
You would now be able to introduce additional offer types without having a negative impact to other capabilities of the application. This is achieved through entity profile configuration for non seeded offer types. You should now be able to configure these restrictions on the non seeded offer types :
- Ability for a customer to define the participation of extended offer type in price rollups.
- Ability for a customer to define the participation of extended offer type in bundle configuration.
- Ability for a customer to define the participation of extended offer type in Promotion benefits configuration.
- Ability for a customer to define the participation of extended offer type in product rules configuration.
The following figure shows the entity profile configuration for non seeded product offering type
The business benefit of this feature is you would now be able to introduce additional offer types without having a negative impact to other capabilities of the application by setting up restrictions for the same.
