Include Return Amounts in Pricing Totals

See how you can include amounts from a return line in the pricing totals for each sales order.

A sales order in Order Management includes one-time charges for various totals, such as Total List Price, Total Net Price, Total Tax, and Pay Now.

For example:

Attribute	Value
Total List Price	237,000.00
Discount	0.00
Total Net Price	237,000.00
Shipping	0.00
Total Tax	0.00
Total Credit	0.00
Pay Now	237,000.00

A return order has the Total Credit and Pay Now for the return lines. It doesn't have Total List Price, Total Net Price, or Total Tax because a sales order can be mixed.

A mixed sales order has outbound lines and return lines. Including totals for a mixed order can be confusing, so the shipping document for a sales order that has only return lines doesn't have totals for taxes and other amounts.

For example, here are the totals for a sales order that only has outbound lines.

Attribute	Value
Total List Price	1,850.00
Discount	0.00
Total Net Price	1,850.00
Shipping	0.00
Total Tax	222.00
Total Credit	0.00
Pay Now	2,072.00

here are the totals for a sales order that only has return lines.

Attribute	Value
Total List Price	0.00
Discount	0.00
Total Net Price	0.00
Shipping	0.00
Total Tax	0.00
Total Credit	2,072.00
Pay Now	2,072.00

This example will show you how to set up pricing so your documents include totals for return lines, such as total tax.

Go to the Pricing Administration work area.
Click Tasks > Manage Algorithms.

On the Manage Algorithms page, click Query by Example, then query for the value.

Attribute	Value
Name	Compute Simple Totals

Pricing uses this algorithm to determine what totals to calculate for the sales order.

Click Actions > Create Version.

Assume it creates version 2.
In the row that has version 2, click the link in the Name column.

On the Edit Algorithm page, set the value.

Attribute	Value
Description	Extend this algorithm so we can include tax totals for return orders.

In the Steps area, click the step that has the value.

Attribute	Value
Name	Compute Total

It is usually step 2.

In the Step Details area, scroll down, then, in the Group Each Row Action area, locate this chunk of code.

//TotalTax
totalUsage = TotalUsage.locate([TotalCodeForUsage:TaxTotalCode])
if ('ORDER' == Line.LineCategoryCode && Charge.ChargeAppliesTo in ['PRICE', 'SHIPPING'] && ChargeComp.PriceElementUsageCode in ['EXCLUSIVE_TAX', 'INCLUSIVE_TAX'] && null != totalUsage ) {
    if (null == TaxTotal) {

Modify that code.
```
//TotalTax
totalUsage = TotalUsage.locate([TotalCodeForUsage:TaxTotalCode])
if (Charge.ChargeAppliesTo in ['PRICE', 'SHIPPING'] && ChargeComp.PriceElementUsageCode in ['EXCLUSIVE_TAX', 'INCLUSIVE_TAX'] && null != totalUsage ) {
    if (null == TaxTotal) {
```
Note
- You remove 'ORDER' == Line.LineCategoryCode &&. The LineCategoryCode attribute specifies whether the line is an outbound line or a return line. ORDER means it's outbound, and RETURN means it's a return.
- 'ORDER' == Line.LineCategoryCode specifies to process only outbound lines. So, removing this phrase from the condition means the algorithm will process outbound lines and return lines.
- This statement uses the PriceElementUsageCode charge component to get the exclusive tax and the inclusive tax. It specifies to add charges for the return lines to the total tax.
Click Save and Close.
Publish version 2 of the algorithm.
Open another browser, sign into Oracle Applications with the privileges that you need to manage sales orders, go to the Order Management work area, create a return order that only has return lines, then click Save.

Verify that the totals include amounts for the return charge.

For example, notice the value for the tax isn't zero.

Total Net Price	0.00
Shipping	0.00
Total Tax	222.00
