The transaction code setup for the Order Capture transaction is delivered as part of the standard Enterprise Pricer implementation.

Field or Control

Description

Parent

Select a value if you want the transaction to inherit all of the attributes and price by keys of the parent.

Price Rule Usage Processor

Specify an application class that Enterprise Pricer calls to do one of the following:

  • To determine whether a one-time only rule has been used.

  • To determine if the maximum quantity for a rule has reached.

  • To display the rule usage data for the user.

This processor is triggered from Price Rule page. The implementation of the RuleUsageChecker subclass is in place to provide the above functions for the Order Capture transaction.

Valid Action Types

Field or Control

Description

Action Type

Select valid price action types for the transaction and limit the available options during price rule and arbitration plan entry. Action types that are specified on this page become available values for setting up price rules for the Order Capture transaction. They are: (* denotes action types that are delivered as enabled for the Order Capture transaction)

*Discount/Surcharge: Applies a discount or surcharge to the list price on a line.

*Free Period Promotion: Specifies the number of free periods of a recurring price. The period used is what appears on the order. For example, if you select three free periods and the rule is used on an order with a cell phone for 30 USD per month, then the first three months are free.

*Giveaway/Product Add: Adds a free product or a discounted product to the line or order.

This action type also supports the use of BOGO (buy one, get one) rules on order lines or orders.

*Min/Max Target Discount (minimum/maximum target discount): Compares the total discount adjustment and, if it's outside the limit, the system discards the calculated amount and replaces it with the target discount.

*Min/Max Target Price (minimum/maximum target price): Compares the price adjustment and, if it's outside the specified range, the system discards the calculated amount and replaces it with the target amount.

*Min/Max Target Surcharge: (minimum/maximum target surcharge): Compares the total surcharge adjustment and, if it's outside the specified range, the system applies a target surcharge.

*Price List Only Condition: Uses the product list price from the price list that is returned as a result of matching the price rule condition with related objects of price lists.

*Price Override: Replaces the price on a product with this price.

*Rollup Only Rule: Indicates that the rule is used for rolling up quantities. The rollup rule is then referenced by regular price rules to match the formula break for adjustment consideration.

This type of rules includes only conditions but not formulas. UOM rollup is not used when this option is selected.

*Total Order Discount/Surcharge: Applies a discount or surcharge to the entire order.

Standard Discount.

Apply to Recurring Pricing

Select to indicate that the corresponding price action type can be used to define price rules that apply to recurring pricing.

As delivered, you can set up price rules for recurring pricing using these action types:

  • Discounts/Surcharge.

  • Giveaway/Product Add.

  • Price Override.

    Additionally, the Min/Max Target Discount, Min/Max Target Price and Min/Max Target Surcharge action types are also available for recurring price rules. While free period promotion pertains only to recurring prices, the Total Order Discount/Surcharge action type does not support recurring pricing.

Valid Adjustment Methods

Field or Control

Description

Adjustment Method

Select how the system applies the adjustment for the Discount/Surcharge price action type:

Cascading: Applied as they are found. A second discount is applied to the previously discounted price, a third discount is applied to a price that already was discounted twice, and so on. For example, if the system encounters two discounts: 10 percent and 20 percent off the list price of 100.00 USD, the system applies the discounts in this manner: 10 percent off of 100.00 USD and 20 percent off of 90.00 USD. Thus, the unit price for the order schedule line is 72.00 USD.

Summed: When the system finds multiple discounts, it adds them together and applies the discounts once. Thus, for the summed example, the system would apply discounts in this manner: the 10 percent and 20 percent discounts are combined for 30 percent off of 100.00 USD. The unit price for the order schedule line is 70.00 USD.

Valid Price Types

Field or Control

Description

Price Type

Select a value that will be available when you select price types for defining price formulas. Values applicable to PeopleSoft CRM are Extended Price and Quantity.

Transaction Code Options

Field or Control

Description

Options

Select options to be supported by the transaction. When you select an option, the system displays the appropriate processing fields on the Price Rule component. Values are:

Use One-Time Only Price Rule: This option indicates whether or not the specified transaction supports the ability to define price rules that are “limited use” price rules. On the Formulas page, you can indicate that the rule is valid only for one time per rule or one time per customer on the One-Time Only field. This option is valid only for Discount/Surcharge, Price Override, Giveaway/Product Adds, and Total Order Discount/Surcharge price rules.

Use Mutually Exclusive Rule: This option indicates whether or not the specified transaction supports the ability to define price rules that are mutually exclusive rules (using the Mutually Exclusive field on the Formulas page). With multiple exclusive prices rules, if one or more of these rules are matched, only one of them is applied and all other rules, whether they are mutually exclusive or regular rules, are ignored.

Use Quantity in Price List: This option indicates whether or not the specified transaction is allowed to use quantity breaks within the price list.

Use Mathematic Expression: This option indicates whether or not the specified transaction enables Enterprise Pricer to create adjustments using user-defined mathematical expressions on the Formulas page. You must set up pricing variables so the system knows what variables are used in the pricing calculation.

Use External Application Class: This option indicates whether or not the specified transaction enables user-defined application classes to calculate the net price.
