Manage Price Adjustments UI

Oracle Subscription Management now provides a setup UI to define price elements and price adjustment categories and uses that setup to present a clearer price waterfall in Redwood UI. The price waterfall shows how the bill line amount was derived, including the adjustment category, price element, and the sequence in which adjustments were applied. The feature also introduces a new Subscription Configuration task, Manage Price Adjustments, and supports controlled edit access through a dedicated privilege. to all users. for seed data. A privilege called "Create Price Adjustment Categories" assigned to specific users will enable them to view and edit the adjustment categories. Without this privilege users can only view but not edit.

The Subscription Configuration has a new task as shown below
