Manage Pricing Bases
Set up the pricing basis that Oracle Pricing uses to calculate an adjustment.
Each pricing basis references a price element, such as List Price or Invoice Price, to calculate the discount that it applies on an item. The price element is one of the components on the pricing charge.
You can manage these pricing bases.
