Item Code as Qualifier and Percentage Discounts based on Item Code

Item Code as Qualifier in Advanced Pricing

Business Case:  

A World leading soft drinks manufacturer in Vietnam likes to implement Advance Pricing to incorporate promotion, Deal and Discount for their customers.  The customer would like to offer a discount based on an item procured by the customer.  

Ex:   Provide 7% Discount if the Customer buys Product X.

Issue:

A line level qualifier based on item code is required to identify the eligible line to provide required discount. However, Standard Oracle does not have Item as a Qualifier.  

Resolution:

To achieve the solution perform below setups in Oracle Advanced Pricing

1. Define “Item Code” in Qualifier Context
2. Map the Qualifier Context and Qualifier Attribute
3. Link Attribute with  Advance Pricing Application
4. Run Build Attribute Mapping Concurrent Program
5. Create the Qualifier using Item Code
6. Define Modifier and Map  Item  Qualifier
7. Run “QP: Maintains the denormalized data in QP Qualifiers” Concurrent Program

This document clearly explains the required setup in screen shots to achieve desired solution along with example.
