Integrate Launch with Digital Business Experience Solution

The following modeling enhancements have been introduced for Digital Business Experience(DBE):

  • The following atomic product offering modeling definition is enhanced for DBE solution deployments only:
    • Discount priority for product offer type discount and time-based discount. Discount priority dictates the order in which discounts are evaluated by the charging engine in case there are multiple discounts. Higher the number the more the priority.
    • Discount mode – This indicates how a discount needs to be applied by the charging system. The values are sequential or parallel. Sequential discount means the discount offer is applied to whatever charge amount remains after previous discount offers are applied. Parallel discount means the discount is applied to the original charge amount, regardless of whether that amount was reduced by previous discount offers.
    • Ability to publish these definitions to Pricing Design Center (PDC).
    • Example - Discount 1 with priority 1, discount mode - sequential and Discount 2 with priority 2 – discount mode as parallel
  • The following atomic product offering pricing definition is enhanced for both DBE and non DBE solution deployments :
    • Ability to configure friends and family or closed user group pricing.
    • Initially setup custom event analyzer rule in both Pricing Design Center (PDC) and Launch for automated distribution to PDC.
      • REST API end point for custom anayzer rule https://<HOST_NAME>/crmRestApi/atcProductCatalog/11.13.18.05/productCatalogReferenceManagement/v1/customProfileSpecification  ("profileType": "CUSTOM_ANALYZER_RULE“)
      • Configure the Impact category in the Common Business Configuration to be used in the attribute-based pricing
    • Setup atomic offering with billing service type as special rating.
    • Use attribute-based pricing in Launch with the custom event analyzer rule and setup special rates for each rule
    • Ability to publish these definitions to Siebel and PDC
    • Example – 0.1$ price for five family numbers.
