Manage Pricing Parameters

Use a pricing parameter to manage behavior that applies across Oracle Pricing.

Each pricing parameter comes predefined with Oracle Pricing. You can't create or delete a pricing parameter, but you can modify a parameter value.

Try it.

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

    • Offering: Order Management

    • Functional Area: Pricing

    • Task: Manage Pricing Parameters

  2. On the Manage Pricing Parameters page, modify the parameters, as necessary.

    Pricing Parameter

    Description

    Algorithm Exception Details

    If a pricing algorithm fails because an exception happens at runtime, then an error message describes the error. For example, an error message in the Order Management work area.

    You can use this parameter to control how much detail you want to display in the message.

    Set it to:

    • Summary. Display only a summary of the error in the error message.
    • Full. Display all details about the error in the error message.

    All details can include a lot of information that you don't typically need, so we recommend that you set it to Full only when you need to troubleshoot a problem.

    Default Price Periodicity UOM Class

    Set the UOM class that Pricing uses to display the default value for price periodicity attributes in the Pricing Administration work area.

    Pricing uses this default value for each recurring charge or usage charge for price periodicity attributes.

    For example, set the Default Price Periodicity UOM Class parameter to Time to use time values, such as Weekly, Monthly, or Per Quarter.

    For details about price periodicity, see Manage Pricing Charge Definitions.

    Item Validation Organization

    		 See the section later in this topic.

    Product Catalogs

    Select the product catalog that you want Pricing to use when it calculates the price, adjustments, and cost for each item.

  3. Click Save.

Item Validation Organization

Set the item validation organization that Pricing uses for each business unit when it validates an item.

  • Pricing filters the items that it displays according to the item validation organization that you select. For example, if you select Vision Operations as the business unit, and V1 as the Organization, then Pricing only displays items that are part of the V1 organization when you create a pricing entity in the Pricing Administration work area.

  • Product Information Management associates each inventory organization with a business unit, and it determines the values that you can select for the organization. For details about how to set up Product Information Management, see Implementing Common Features for Oracle SCM.

  • If you don't specify at least one item validation organization, then you can't view items in the Pricing Administration work area.

You must specify All Business Units in the Business Unit attribute for at least one organization. For example:

Business Unit Organization
All Business Units Vision Operations

If you need a different item validation organization for a specific business unit, you can add it. For example:

Business Unit Organization
All Business Units Vision Operations
Singapore Distribution Center Singapore Distribution Center
