Manage Pricing Message Tokens

Create a token that specifies the attributes that Oracle Pricing uses to determine the token value for a pricing entity. Use the token in a pricing message.

Pricing uses the token to get and display the token value at runtime.

A token is placeholder for variable content, such as text or a number. An Oracle application replaces the token with a value at runtime. Consider this QP_CL_CHRG_BATCH_ERR message.

You can't import the charge for the cost list because dates overlap across rows for the item that has the {CHARGE_DEF} charge definition.

where
  • CHARGE_DEF is the name of the token.
  • Consultation is an example value that CHARGE_DEF might contain.

So, the runtime value might be:

You can't import the charge for the cost list because dates overlap across rows for the item that has the Consultation charge definition.

For another example, assume you select the CurrencyCode attribute and the Price List pricing entity, and you use this attribute as a token in a pricing message. At runtime, Pricing returns the value of the CurrencyCode attribute in the pricing message, then displays it in the price breakdown.

You will create a token that Pricing uses when it displays a message for the Standard Desktop item in the Corporate price list. You define Corporate and Standard Desktop each as a token value.

Manage pricing message tokens.

  1. Go to the Setup and Maintenance work area, then go to the task.

    • Offering: Order Management

    • Functional Area: Pricing

    • Task: Manage Pricing Message Token Attribute Definitions

  2. On the Manage Pricing Message Token Attribute Definitions page, in the Active attribute, click Yes, then click Search.

    The Manage Pricing Messages page displays the predefined tokens.

  3. Click Detach, then examine the pricing message tokens.

    To reduce maintenance, use a predefined pricing message token instead of creating a new one.
