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- Define “Item Code” in Qualifier Context
- Map the Qualifier Context and Qualifier Attribute
- Link Attribute with Advance Pricing Application
- Run Build Attribute Mapping Concurrent Program
- Create the Qualifier using Item Code
- Define Modifier and Map Item Qualifier
- 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.
