Manage Pricing Totals

A pricing total is the sum of more than one charge. Use it to combine and display the values of charges as a single value.

• Oracle Pricing uses the Calculate Sales Order Totals pricing algorithm to calculate the totals that Order Management displays in the Total dialog when the order entry specialist creates a sales order.

• Use the Manage Pricing Totals page to set up the pricing totals to include in the dialog.

• Each pricing total references a pricing algorithm that calculates the total. For example, the predefined Total List Price pricing total references a pricing algorithm that adds up the extended amounts of each one-time price charge for every Buy line for the charge components where the price element equals LIST_PRICE. For details, see Pricing Algorithms.

Assume Order Management displays the Total dialog.

Assume you must modify the dialog.

• Calculate total credit before you calculate total tax.

• Move the Total Tax line to immediately below Total Credit.

• Change the Pay Now text to Your Total Price.

You modify the pricing algorithm to change the calculation sequence and the sequence of lines in the dialog, and you use the Manage Pricing Totals page to modify the text.

This topic uses example values. You might need different values, depending on your business requirements.
