Basic Concepts Advance Pricing basically takes into account the following two concepts :

B to B : Business Group to Business Group B to C : Business Group to Customer

B to B : This a long standing relationship between multiple business groups and it doesn’t calls for some sort of promotions or advertisements. What really matters here is the time to deliver, quality etc.

B to C : This relationship is more of business oriented. There is a need to attract customers which can be achieved by various discounts, promotions etc.

Attribute : The pricing attributes are the parameters which in a relationship will give the price of the end product. For example - Length, Breadth and Height are the parameters. When they are given the system will calculate the Volume (Length * Breadth * Height) and give the Rate / Unit Volume.

Qualifiers : Qualifiers are the conditions which decides the qualification for a particular Discount or Surcharge.

Pricing Engine : Pricing request will be called from an application like Order Management. The Pricing Engine starts working from here on. The Attributes and Qualifiers is passed into the Pricing Engine. The Pricing Engine processes all these details and give the Final Price of the product.

Agreement Price ListOracle Advance Pricing allows you to establish agreements with

your customers that define the prices, payment terms, and freight terms that you negotiate.

There are two methods by which you can manage agreements:

Standard agreements which use standard price lists (PRL)

Pricing agreements which use agreement price lists (AGR)

Negotiated Price for a specific customer

Always associated with a Price List

Price List can be Standard Price List of Agreement Price List

Qualifiers

Qualifiers are the conditions which decides the qualification for a particular

Discount or Surcharge.

Entities defined for receiving discounts and adjustments could be as follows:

Qualifiers can be linked with the following :

Price lists

Modifiers

Qualifier can be:

Seeded

Custom

10

Qualifier Groups :

Similar Qualifiers are the grouped together to form a Qualifier Group.

Main advantage of defining the Qualifier group are as follows :

To link the common qualifiers for common benefits (discounts)

Qualifier groups can be attached easily to modifiers.

Create AND / OR condition among qualifiers.

04/18/2023

11

Modifiers Modifiers are like Price Lists

However Price List will be associated to a particular customer, but modifiers are Global

They are applied on all the Sales Order where the conditions are met. The conditions are the qualifiers.

There are 5 basic types of Modifiers :1. Deal2. Discount3. Freight and Special Charges4. Promotion5. Surcharge

There are 3 Modifier Levels available in Advance Pricing :1. Group of Lines : Applied for making Modifiers for a group of Lines2. Line : Applicable for all lines where the conditions are satisfied.3. Order : Applicable at Order Level

There are 4 modifier Application methods available in Advance Pricing :1. Amount2. Percentage3. New price4. Lumpsum

Modifiers : Discounts Discounts : Discount are the amounts that a customer has to pay less than

the normal price of the item.

Various enterprises give different types of discounts to attract more customers based on certain conditions.

Modifiers in Oracle Applications also provides similar functionalities to define the discounts, apply the discounts based on the conditions which are called qualifiers.

They are applied on all the Sales Order where the conditions are met. These conditions are the qualifiers.

Lets start with the creation of Discounts i.e. define a Discount Modifier

Navigation Path is : Oracle Pricing Manager* > Modifiers > Modifier Setup

*Responsibility can differ from instance to instance

04/18/2023

14

Modifiers : Discounts Select Type as “Discount List” and enter the Modifier Number and Name as

“TM1”. The other details in the respective fields can be entered. Select Automatic option in the Modifier header. Refer the following Screen Shot :

04/18/2023

15

Modifiers : Discounts

Go to the Line Level, Modifier Summary.

Modifier Number at the Line Level will be generated automatically.

Select Modifier Level as Line. However Modifier Level can be any of the following :

For Discount Type modifier, we have further 3 sub-modifiers as follows : Discount Price Break Header Surcharge

Select “Discount” in the Modifier Type. Since we have selected “Automatic” in the Header, the “Automatic” check box in the Modifier Line is activated.

Select “Override”. This will allow us to change/modify the Modifier from the Sales Order.

Select “List Line Adjustment” in the Pricing Phase

Select “Item Number” in the Products Attribute. This is mainly used for applying restrictions.

04/18/2023

16


Enter the Item Name as “3936666” in the Product Attribute Value. This would mean that this modifier will be applicable on when the Item Name on the Sales Order line is “3936666”

Select the Product Attribute as “Item Quantity” in the Volume Type and “Point” in the Break Type

UOM should be selected as the primary UOM of the Item i.e. “NOS”.

Value From and Value To be entered as “5” and “10” respectively.

Now lets us go to the Discount/Charges Tab and define the Application method and the extent of discount.

Select “Percent” in the Application method and enter “10” in the value.

Save this modifier.

So far, we have created a Discount Modifier to provide a discount for a specific Item “3936666” when the Order Quantity is between 5 and 10 (both values included). Refer to the screen shot attached.

04/18/2023

17


A typical screen shot of Discount Type of Modifier would look like below :

04/18/2023

Further screen shot of the Discounts applied.

04/18/2023

19

Modifiers : Discounts Now lets see how the defined Modifier would work.

Create a Sales Order and attach the price list with the item as “3936666” for which we have created a modifier. Since we have created the Price List “TEST PRICE LIST” in the beginning, we will attach this price list to our new Sales Order. Enter Qty as “10”.

We can see in the following screen that the Extended Price (Qty * List Price) is still 1000. i.e. the unit price is still 100 as per the Price List.

04/18/2023

20

Modifiers : Discounts Save and Book the Sales Order.

Now we can see that the Extended Price has changed to 900, which implies that the Unit price has changed to 90 after applying the discount of 10% as per the defined modifier. Please refer the below screen shot.

04/18/2023

21

Modifiers : Discounts To see the details of the applied modifier, Click “Actions” and select “View

Adjustments”. The following screenshot indicates that the defined Modifier TM1 has been applied on this Sales Order and discount@ 10% has been granted.

This modifier is applied automatically as we have selected the “Automatic” option at the time of Modifier Definition.

Since, we have selected the Override allowed, so the Rate of discount can be changed or the modifier can be deleted, which otherwise would not have been possible.

04/18/2023

22

Modifiers : Discounts – Additional Features Lets go back to our original modifier TM1 and copy the first line twice. Enter

the discount as 20% and 30% respectively for line number 2 & 3 respectively.

04/18/2023

23

Modifiers : Discounts – Additional Features Let us create another Sales Order and attach the price list with the item as

“3936666” for which we have created a modifier. Attach the Price List “TEST PRICE LIST” the Sales Order. Enter Qty as “10”.

We can see in the following screen that the Extended Price is 400. i.e. the Unit Price is 40 which implies that a discount of 60% has been granted.

04/18/2023

24

Modifiers : Discounts – Additional Features Since in the modifier all the three lines were same, the total discount is

added up and hence 60%(10+20+30) discount is granted.

The following screen indicates the discounts that has been applied.

04/18/2023

25

Modifiers : Competing Modifiers

For a given price phase, if a modifier has the same incompatible group, then it is referred to as Competing Modifiers.

Also called as Incompatible modifiers.

Only one modifier will qualify among all the incompatible modifiers.

In case of discount, the one which gives best discount will be qualified.

In case of surcharge, the one where the surcharge is minimum will be qualified.

The best price for customer is always the criteria.

04/18/2023

26


Let us go back to our modifier TM1, and apply the same Incompatibility Group – Level 1 for all the three modifier lines.

04/18/2023

27


The percentage of discount be retained as 10%, 20%, and 30% for each of the modifier line as follows :

04/18/2023

28

Modifiers : Competing Modifiers Let us create another Sales Order and attach the price list with the item as


We can see in the following screen that the modifier line 3 which has the maximum discount i.e. 30% is applied on the Sales Order.

04/18/2023

29

Modifiers : Competing Modifiers If we have the same Incompatibility group with different precedence, then

the modifier line with the lower precedence will be applied.

Lets change the precedence in each of our modifier lines as 220, 210 and 230 for modifier line 1, line 2 and line 3 respectively

04/18/2023

30



We can see in the following screen that the modifier line 2, with the lowest precedence is applied on the Sales Order.

04/18/2023

31


Now let us go to our original modifier and select “Exclusive Group” in one of the modifier line Incompatibility group.

04/18/2023

32



We can see in the following screen that the modifier line 1, i.e. “Exclusive” Incompatibility is applied.

04/18/2023

33

Modifiers : Competing Modifiers - Rules An Exclusive incompatibility is always applied.

It supercedes both best price and precedence.

For two line of “Exclusiveness” the line with higher discount will qualify.

If incompatibility is not solved, then the first line will be populated (based on modifier number).

As a summary, Incompatibility is resolved by

1. Best price

2. Precedence

3. Exclusive supercedes both the above

4. Among exclusive groups, above rule 1 and 2 will apply

5. Unresolved incompatible modifiers will be picked based on the

modifier line which occurs first.

04/18/2023

34

Modifiers : Buckets For example, if a company is giving a promotion on purchase of an item as

below : If you are from India – Bucket Number 1 :

5% If you are from Pune – Bucket Number 2 :

2% If you are from Hinjewadi – Bucket Number 3 : 1%

The first two promotions have the same bucket number. This is called as Additive Bucket.

The third promotion which belongs to next Bucket is called as Cascading Bucket.

For all Additive Buckets, the discount will be added.

For Cascading Buckets, the discount will be obtained after reducing the additive bucket.

If the base price of a product is 100/-, then the calculation is as follows :Bucket Number Discount Price Value Calculation

1 5% 95 (100-5%)

1 2% 93(95-2%) – rounded off

2 1% 92.07 (93-1%)

04/18/2023

35

Modifiers : Buckets Now let us create another modifier and give the bucket numbers and

discounts as per the previous slide.

04/18/2023

36

Modifiers : Buckets Let us create another Sales Order and attach the price list with the item as


We can see the modifier calculation in the following screen
